Forums - Gaming - Titanfall's exclusivity based on EA's Xbox and PlayStation sales forecast, not Xbox One's cloud

Machiavellian on 30 January 2014

Another thing people seem to forget is that EA isn't out there making profits. Last quater they had a loss. Games are a business and a lot of decisions are made because of Money. Risk being the biggest part of the industry unless you have an established IP. New Studio, New IP, New gaming model that relies on MP only single player model. Who the hell knows if this will fly or not or if West and Zam can catch magic again.

The only difference that EA would have done if they knew the PS4 would outsell the X1 is to ask for more money on the exclusive deal. By the time these deals were in their final stage even EA would not know the buzz the game would generate.

Im sure i may regret asking , but why is the 360 version gimped

I remeber hearing there is modes and stuff missing awhile back. As well as the obvious animation, physics and graphics difference. Its not going to be the exact same version as the PC and Xbox one. The Hardware is to old.  And after playing BF4 on 360 and Xbox One, its so much better playing BF4 on new gen than old gen. The difference is actually really big.

So will you buy a PS4 or PC to play multiplats since the graphic is better?

Top this first:


Thats pretty good. Even though its the only PS4 game worth owning exclusive wise. Xbox One has more variety and quality right now.

But I was more talking 5 mill +. Gears Of War style new IP sales.

Good luck

I think it will pretty easy. Mates will play it at  peoples houses, reviews will be great and people will want it. I believe this game will have great legs all year and next.

 An online-only multiplayer FPS with no single player that is also on x360 and PC.....dont see that happening, except the reviews that will be good


BF and COD sell because of its MP. Not its SP. Especially COD. Everyone I know who plays these games dont even play the SP.
