the jokes on you all if the xbox one gets released in the rest of the eu / world

Remember that the goal is to take 2nd this gen faster then PS3 took it, which shouldn't be that hard :P. Best not to pick fights with Sony fans unless it is in response to their actions.

You're the Xbox Republics' King, right? So I can take this goal as official? Looks like Xbox fans are really lowballing their goals this gen. :D

Yes the goal is official. Hey, Sony fans main goal was to take second, and it only took 7 years to do it right? Soooo we kinda have higher standards by comparison. I estimate 2 years, tops.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Example of cross-gen game that made a big jump in hardware sale ?

Example of cross-gen game at the beginning of last gen? Aside from Twilight Princess and the sports titles?

Twilight Princess doesn't count because if delaying it for well over a year to launch on the Wii wasn't enough, they slapped fans in the face by releasing it on the Wii a month before the Gamecube version.  So yeah.  Of course it's going to push sales when people are forced to purchase a Wii to play the game rather than wait another month. 

Ok, great so the amount of games we have to compare to Titanfall in this case amounts to....zero?

lol theres Oblivion, a March 2006 360/PC game. Ghost Recon was also a multiplat 360 title that was popular, also in March. 360 sold around 400k for the month. So needless to say, this thread is extremely optomistic, and isn't the official stance of the Xbox Republic.

Well the PS3 certainly had stronger competition for place 2 than the X1 is looking to have with the Wii U, so I don't know if it shows that the Xbox fans have higher standards when their main goal is to take second from the Wii U within 2 years.

Call 2 years generous if say any unforseen conplications come up. 1 year but you know politics, better safe then sorry. I might getz owned if one year comes by and someone digs up a year old thread and calls me out on it. Oh noes!

But hey, we can't pick our 2nd place competition, its just the hand dealt. Besides, PS3 was made by SONY......you know, Sony. Sony made PS3. It should have taken 2nd within 6 months ;)

But enough of this silly side conversation, you have my answer.

Oblivion wasn't cross gen though, so it's not a perfect comparison. But, yeah 400-500k for titanfall week seems a bit optimistic.

I don't even think that's a bold prediction as that seems very likely                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               EDIT: I thought you meant copies.....then yes you prediction is a tad bold, i can see it pulling off 250k-350k though

Sony didn't want to be second with the PS3 just like Microsoft didn't want to be second with the XBO. Sony lost with the PS3, just like MS is losing with the XBO. Spin it all you want there is no way Microsoft wanted to be anything but first place this gen. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
