Forums - Gaming Discussion - Can Titanfall be THE GAME That Pushes Xbox One Above PS4 in America?

It's pretty certain the Xbox will Once again rule the USA. It's selling basically the same amount of units being 100 dollars more expensive than the PS4. With a price cut, Titanfall, Quantum Break, Halo 5, Fable Legends, Call of Duty exclusives, Kinect, Xbox Live superiority, and the failing Wii U, the Xbox One has everything going for it. My question is, will the Xbox One start outselling the PS4 when 360 owners will want the superior version of Titanfal and upgrade to an Xbox One? I think Titanfall has the potential to sell a million+ Xbox One units in 2014. It will push Xbox One over PS4 all the way until Halo 5 in the US!!


You don't need an X1 to play Titanfall. Same goes for Project Spark. Also the best version of Titanfall will be the PC version! You seem to list things MS could do to increase sales but you seem to think Sony will stay silent and won't counter with their own stufff???? X1 doesn't have everything going for it. Its  significantly weaker and significantly more expensive too. What happens when the big Sony franchises release????

Nopes. Not when Destiny on PS4 is more popular than TitanFall on X1.

Will it boost sales yes but Sony has more exclusives coming out this year and going forward. This is assuming titanfall is even good. I know it is early but Sony look's like there going to dominate this gen.

Not sure if Titanfall can top all these games, Drive club,Infamous, The order 1886, Planet side 2, Mlb the show 14,  Deep Down and what ever Ps+ games they give out and the f2p games coming.    Ps4 just has more to offer and at a better price.

 

 


PS4 doesn't have more exclusives though. Since you can name PC/console exclusive games so can I: Titanfall, Project Spark, Quantum Break, KS: Rivals, Sunset Overdrive, Black Tusk's game, Fable Legends, Halo. Xbox 2014 is looking strong


Totally wrong !

PS4 has much much more more exclusive if you name PC/Console exclusive games :

Deep Down

Infamous

Driveclub

The Order 1886

Uncharted

Lily Bergamo

MLB 14 The Show
Guilty Gear Xrd Signe
Outlast
Soma
FF Realm Reborn
Daylight
Planetside 2
 Earth Defense Forces
 Rime

Shadow Of The Beast

Everybody's Gone to the Rapture

....



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

I dont think so, I plan on getting it on PC at some point, but I'm not foaming at the mouth like some are for it.

Halo is the only game xbo has I would buy an xbo for, so there will be plenty of time.

Sony's exclusives are more successful franchises  enmasse from first and second party and on a level of ratings. Sony in general has more critically acclaimed titles than Microsoft by a much larger margin than you think. Microsoft had more exclusives but most of those were third party and MS paid to keep most of the third parties to keep away from Sony at launch from 2005-2009 period. Bioshock itself took a year to come out which hurt its community on the Playstation. Same thing happened with Mass Effect  and Mass Effect 2 until EA bought Bioware and went multiplat. Depending on third parties exclusives is Microsofts saving grace. This generation more than the last there will be less third party exclusives between them. Lets see how Microsoft fares then. 

Sony has four major developers under their first party that are on IGN's top 50 developers list. Microsoft had one which is completely responsible for the success of the Xbox and they are now exclusive to Activision for ten years.

Sony's learned from their mistakes with PS3 and MS learned from theirs on the 360. Its obvious that they're focusing on the quality exclusive games this go around with all the new IPs coming. While yes both have their respective critically acclaimed franchises/developers, I see MS taking more chances with the X1 while the only new IPs I see for PS4 is The Order and Driveclub


Wrong again .

 

What are the new IPs announced or released made by microsoft  for X1 ? None.

 

New IPs by Sony for PS4 : Knack, Driveclub, The Order 1886 ( this  whithout counting digital games)

Project Spark, Lionhead's new IP, and Black Tusk's Game are the only ones confirmed right now.

XB360 is going to be the most available and likely sell the most, PC will hold the best graphics, and XB1 is just a graphic upgrade of the 360 but not as good as PC.

Price is the one thing holding the X1 back in America... if Microsoft drops the price to $399 with a Kinect-less bundle you'll start seeing incredible demand for the system, especially once games like Titanfall and Watchdogs start to drop.


Ha! And people criticise Europe and Japan for making decisions based on brand. Exact same thig on the US.

Depends how big the gap will be in March... if a 100-200k gap then I'm sure Titanfall will put Xbone over PS4 in US.

This....

At least it's new IP, not COD #9. Xbone has a bright future, but Sony and Nintendo are not to be taken lightly in the North American market....
