Forums - Gaming - Titanfall: Microsoft Boasts “Hundreds of Thousands” Playing the “Most Anticipated Game of the Year”

I don't care which company you represent, if you spin shit like that a week after release; '80 awards'... actually no nice words come to mind.
This is the over the top PR bullshit we've seen posted so often, please people don't use your brain, let us make up your mind for you!

Microsoft always knows how to boast about what they don't make.


So Sony wasn't boasting about GTA V, Destiny, Watch Dogs, Assassins Creed and all the indies that they didn't make?


No...not really. Thats exactly how Activision got MS to raise the price of Xbox Live. Boasting about how most people on Xbox Live played for COD and Bobby Kotick got in a bitch fit about how Activision isnt enjoying the more money out of that since its the number one game. They didnt ask Sony because they knew Sony wouldn't give it to them.

omg how could someone call this game of the generation.... im laughing so hard now... that is a pathetic statement... if thats the game of the generation then im done.... ill never buy anything new goodbye.

Pretty sure leo-j was being sarcastic. Pretty suuuure.


You mean its falling in the hourly amazon chart after seling hundreds of thousands on an install base of a few million.?

Who'd have thought that huh?

What a flop.

Also havent we learned yet that the amazon chart isnt very indicative... given NPD.


amazon isnt indicative yet npd = ps4>xb1 = same as amazon for feb and jan. And NPD =XB1 > Ps4 = same as amazon Dec.



kowenicki said:

amazon has PS4 wayyy ahead of XB1.... it wasnt.


I wasnt aware there was a unit total for those rankings. Weird, could you show me where those are and how you know ps4->XB1 isnt ~10% difference on amazon? Another example would be 2013 npd ps4>xb1 which is what amazon showed

80 awards? Why I never heard of this before till now?


Because award has a very vague definition. Especially before the game actually launches.



I hope you all realize that we are set up for a tremendous amount of butt-hurt in this thread when NPD comes out, regardless of which side is "right".

I'm talking Wii U levels of Reality are about to activate.

For the most part, Sony Fans really don't want any comebacks from Xbox because they want the PS4 to be unchallenged. So if TitanFall does well, which is probable, I expect full attention diversion.

As for the Xbox (TitanFall Enthusiasts), we are witnessing your transformation into Nintendo (2012-2013) Level Fanboys. If Titanfall doesn't meet your insanely high expectations, you will also try to ignore it, talking about how a price cut or Sunset Overdrive will save the Wii U Xbox Won.

Obviously, Neither side will let the other live it down, and I myself will be on the side of the winner.

Personally, I wish the (xboxers) well since they have hype and are technically the underdogs in this scenario, and if the Psers get this then even stats won't protect Xboxers, and this becomes a curbstomp rather than a fight. And the balance of power will be inexorably one-sided for the rest of the generation, if not eternity.

Now, do you see why Titan Fall is so important. All bets are on this.

 

Now in regards to MS, they sure are funny. This is the same tatctic they used when they didn't reach their sales expectations. Now its no guarantee that the numbers will be bad, but lets be real folks, if they don't release before NPD does then well, its gonna be anywhere from a paltry win to a dissatrous loss for the Pilots, and a paltry loss to brutal win for the Conduits/Helghast/Tenno The longer MS takes the fishier it looks wouldn't you say?
