Forums - Gaming Discussion - "Sony Trying Hard To Get Titanfall on PS4/PS3, Microsoft Going For Deal Similar To CoD Series"

Carl on 14 February 2014

No shit, Sherlock. This has been obvious to everyone since the game was revealed.

Sony will go all out to get the game, if they dont get it then they will go all out for Titanfall 2.

Rocket science.

Why would they need to outbid  Microsft? They want to keep Titanfall as a multiplat -- not buy it as an exclusive. There's a huge difference.

My advice to Sony is to upbid MS/EA until they fork over a sh*tton of money. I wouldn't bother for the game though, it is nothing more than a low quality "shoot-at-everything" fps.

We don't know the rules of the contract. Microsoft easily could have full control of everything. #GocrycauseTFisn'tcomingtoPS4


However as I said in this thread: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=178168&page=1
It could damage sales for XBONE.

Just because you keep repeating this nonsense doesn't make it true...

Sony doesn't have to, the lost revenue from the PS3/PS4 will start to make it too expensive for Microsoft to consider, because EA's asking price will rise as the sales disparity increases.

It's an interesting situation for Sony though, do they go full out on the PS4 and put up some money to get rid of the exclusivity?  Or do they rest on their laurels with  the position they're currently in, public opinion on their side, and the content they've already lined up for this year?  It could either be a hammerblow to Microsoft, or something that at least gives them a bump in sales...

Or another thing to consider is Sony simply takes the stance that they did last gen with these 'exclusivity' deals, where they force any developer who does this to bring the game to their console with additional content+polish, sometime down the road.  As the PS3 gained steam last gen, many developers were forced to do this, simply because the possible profits that the PS3 represented were too good to turn down.

Should be enjoyable to watch unfold, at least.


The game will sell more then enough to stay exclusive the FPS crowd is strong on MS cosoles Halo 2 sold enough that it would have been the sixth highest selling game on the PS2 despite selling less then 1/6 of the hardware of the PS2.

You underestimate the greed of companies like EA, if the sales disparity continues to increase, they simply wont' be able to ignore the opportunity.  Plus, let's face it, the days of Microsoft being king shit with the FPS crowd are pretty much over.  The changes to the DS4 have resonated well with those folks, as well as the improvements to PSN's multiplayer functionality.  And, let's be frank here, right now the FPS sales are leaning Sony, not Microsoft.  CoD Ghosts has sold more on the PS4, BF4 has sold more on the PS4, and Killzone has pushed a pretty respectable amount of units, when compared to the amount of PS4's out there.

PS. Halo 2 released in 2004.  It's 2014, things change.  And Microsoft's purse strings may not be as big as you think, especially given they have major investors already clamoring to ditch the Xbox division entirely, due to losses already accrued.

nonsense?  explain.

Well, while the statement is true in the long run, it lacks detail, is basically the point.  The 1.1B loss is forecasted over the next year for this entire year ending March 2014 (edited for those incapable of following a conversation from start to finish) not a single day.

Sony don't need to outbid anybody...When EA sees that PS4 has 20m consoles and Xbox One less than 10m they will implore to reach a deal with Sony....
