Well it will clearly be a system seller so he is wrong in that regard. X1 or PC....the point MS is trying to make is that while you play either version, the PS4 will be off.


I disagree! "System sellers" are games that force people to buy a console in order to play that game.Is not just about move machines(every game move some machine at launch) but change the sales for a long period.

 

- Monster hunter and Pokemon X Y are 3DS system sellers.

- GTA V is a PS3/360 system seller.

 

But in the case of Titanfall,you don't need a Xone to play that game.

 

If you have a 360 you can play for $60(and not for $560).

If you have a PC you have the best version for free(torrent) or for the best price(STEAM).

If you have a PS4 you probably will not buy a new console right now(you just bought one for $400)

If you have a PS3...well...okay in this case it's possible!

 

This is why i don't think Titanfall will be a system seller! Will sell great for people that already have 360,Xone,PC and will move some machines(like every game does at launch) but will not be a GTAV,Pokemon X Y,Monster Hunter,Metal Gear Solid 4,Etc.....

I remember how early games like Oblivion and Bioshock spiked 360 sales in their release. Both were 360/PC launches. Im afraid there is the ugly truth that millions of gamers simply don't regard serious PC gaming as a option.



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

Doubt it, they havent said much about its content.  Likely ill be sparse with many DLCs in the future, it is from ea and ms a bastard union of milking the gamer dry.

STEAM was not as big as it is now.Today PC gamers will not buy a console if they have the PC option.And this particular game will not be that heavy for a mid-end PC run so....

 

Again this is just my opinion....

What Angry Joe is saying is true. I don't have an Xbox One, and this game is not going to force me to buy an Xbox One. I'll get it on PC eventually.

There you go. https://www.playhawken.com//


That game looks awesome, I want some of that :)

while it wont be a huge system seller it will move systems i was watching the ign live thing and if there telling the truth they have atleast two people who just recently bought a x1 just to play titanfall

My 6 year old laptop more than meets the minimum specs but I have yet to see the recommended specs so if I can meet those I might get it on PC. Hopefully I get a Beta key this weekend so I can see if it will actually be fun.

Yeah you said it 360/PC games. TF is aso on a last gen system. Personally I think this will move hardware but that is just an opinion. Also your last sentence is pointless. It's like me saying that it's just the dudebro frat boy console gamers that don't take PC gaming serious. Completely baseless accusation.
