The Titanfall bundle is about to release which gives TItanfall for free with the console. I said before all Sony fans jumped way to soon on Xbox doom. Watch Titanfall reinvigor the battle. And PS4 is still available in over 40 more countries.

The arrival of this day 1 Titanfall bundle is gonna kill PS4 in UK and US.


Not wanting to burst your bubble, but Titanfall is also available on 360 and PC. Its not exactly a title you need an X1 to play.

100% this. If you have a Xbox360 or PC that can run TitanFall, why buy the XB1 for it? If you want a system seller, you need a game exclusive to that one platform, like a new Halo, a new Gears of War or even Quantam Break. Sure, TitanFall will move a number of Xbox One consoles (just like every game does), but Halo 5, now that would be a system seller!

Silly fanboy. MS also threw in FIFA 14 for free at launch, didn't do shit. The TitanFall bundle is also still rumored. And the fact that it would be free in Australia doesn't mean it will be worldwide. Also if you would pay attention, you would know a lot of shops are already throwing in a $50 free game on their own, which also isn't doing anything. And most of the people who are interested on TitanFall on the XB1 already have the XB1 at their homes.

Titanfall is that good. It will sell Xbox's. Especially to online shooter fans ( Which basically all COD and BF sells for ). And no, people interested in Titanfall dont already have Xbox Ones. Only me and 2 of my mates have Xbox Ones so far. 5 more are jumping from 360/ps3 to Xbox Ones on March 13. Tey have been waiting for Titanfall.

 

Titanfall will sell great with great legs. And it will sell Xbox Ones. no doubt about it. Th Beta was awesome. And had over 2 mill players on Xbox One. Thats curreently 2/3rds of the Xbox One population. Unheard of attach rate.

Of course it will sell consoles, every single game does that. You're talking like it will move 2million XOnes, it simply wont.

Im nt saying any number. But dont under estimate te powe of compettetive online gaming. Alot of COD players and BF players on both Playstation games will try Titanfall, And its that much better than those  titles to really persuade them to trade in or choose Xbox One instead. Online shooter players cant help themselves.And the box will have plastered on it fromthe makers o Call Of Duty or something  like that.

MS knew this game was the first real seller for PS4 and Xbox One era.

Exactly! Infamous: Second Son will be a system seller as it is only available on PlayStation 4. Killzone: Shadow Fall was a system seller as it was available on PlayStation 4. Titanfall will sell systems, but it will also have a detrimental effect in that it will give Xbox 360 users a reason to hold onto their current system rather than invest in "next-gen" - and lets all be honest, there isn't really anything next-gen about Titanfall.

A lot of people on the Playstation side interested in TitanFall will simply try it on PC, Xbox 360 (a lot of people own the PS3 and X360) or just simply wait for TitanFall 2, which will probably release in a few years knowing EA.

But me an my mates play together. They some have 360's and not Xbox Ones. So we cant play together. But they are all getting ones at Titanfall Launch. So we can play together. This is one VITAL point people ar forgetting. And the Titanfall bundle makes the jump easy. Xbox Ones will sell really well after Titanfall releases in its available 13 countries.

Too bad for MS a lot of people in the same situation will just play it on 360. Your friends are basically paying $500 for a graphical upgrade on a console that has underpowered hardware for a new console. MS should hold a party if TitanFall moves 100k consoles.

For someone who already has a 360 but doesnt have an X1 and wants to play Titanfall, what makes the most sense? Wait 2 weeks and get it on the 360 for 60 or pay almost 600 for an X1 with the game? Its a really expensive proposition. I dont see that many people jumpin on it.

But oh well... im not an expert on the US market and i know they do love their guns. So, meh... but logically speaking i dont see how it can spike the sales that considerably. Who pays 600 for one game? :x

Nobody, which is why Microsoft and the fan-boys will be extremely disappointed, although I expect Microsoft have already acknowledged the truth.

Ok dude. Clearly MArch 11 and 13 will just have to put you in your place. Ill let Titanfall and the rest of MS exclsuievs do the talking. You will be shocked me tinks if you genuinely believe what you just wrote.

By that logic wouldnt it make sense for people to get it on the 360 since theres more people that have the system already?
