So when you said 'smaller product' out of context in the title, what you actually meant to say was that an EA exec had made the entirely obvious point that being a new IP on fewer platforms than other new IPs, Titanfall will not face the same expectations as those IPs, and that the game is 'amazing?'

Cheers, thanks for the update!


You sound bitter, I am just posting what EA has said. Nothng more or less. Also, while it is obvious, many here have posted numerous time they expect titanfall to sell COD like nubers and single handidly mate x1 sell better then ps4.

Since you have seen so many people here say it, could we have a link to.. idk, 4 different people saying it? We'll be on pins and needles waiting for your links.

Of course EA views it as a smaller title. Compared to Battlefield, or Madden? They launch on almost twice as many platforms.

I second Mr Allard.  On a site that receives millions of hits a month I would assume 100s or 1000s of people constitutes 'many.' 

However I too am happy to accept your pointing out just four

And should everybody be happy that 2 months before launch DLCs are already in the work and could possibly be sold 1st day? EA being true to itself.

Yeah I forget how big the userbase is here. It must explain why it's been a few hours and no response. Must have been "many" less saying that than he remembers. Or maybe it was just all make believe.

I went and checked for him but didn't see any COD like numbers quotes. I saw a bunch of people saying 8-9 million, but the majority of posts I read said "gears level sales of 5-6m". Of course, I'm sure that with the average being 5-6m there must be at least 2% of posters here saying cod level, since bell curve would demand that those posts exist. They're probably not people ms fans like to associate with though.

I don't think anyone is expecting COD or Halo sales. Its a brand new game so it won't sell anywhere near as much as COD or Halo.

Many here have also posted numerous times the opposite.

Links?

That 'majority' must be pretty out of sync with reality.  Given only a tiny fraction of this site has even the faintest interest in the X1 outside of bashing the crap out of it, it is hard to imagine that group forming a 'majority' to make educated guess about anything....

I will say something that some guys will say I'm trolling but it is my sincere opinion.

PS4 success and sales were a cold water over EA's expectations. They expected Xbone to be in the position PS4 is right now with this crazy demand.

I can't blame them for that... most analysts guessed the same and PS4 surprised the world.



J_Allard on 29 January 2014

More like MS surprised the world with their reveal and original plan. Had analysts known about that before hand I doubt many if any would have predicted MS to dominate.

I am getting a very BRINK-like feeling from this news.
