Because teh hype train.

It's simple:

Tintafall was overhyped by sites at E3(remember "believe the Hype!") that Xbox fans took as "The second coming of Christ" after they heard that was not coming to PS consoles.

FF14:ARR on the other hand,is a reboot of a critical panned game that nobody hyped.Nobody expected to be as good as it is.And even if is PS4 next gen exclusive,it was released 6 months before on PS3/PC.

its better game than titanfall though.

And yet

Because it's not a particularly big deal. The game has already been out for nearly a year, and it hasn't had the hype or marketing muscle of Titanfall. I'm sure the game will do fine on PS4, it's already a big success on PC and PS3, but I don't think it's a system seller.

Because of artifial hype on a new FPS, marketing influencing people, just few month ago, most thought TItanfall was the GOTY, a revolution, an exclusive, the best multiplayer game of the year,... Then it released.

Titanfall hype has little to do with its exclusivity. It would be a top selling game even on Sony platforms. Destiny is managing to do well with no exclusivity.

FF14 isn't getting hype because people don't want to pay the subscription fee. Same story with Elder Scrolls Online. Offline games in those series are mega sellers, yet the subscription based MMOs have modest sales. Do the math.

Titanfall is a new IP.

FFXIV is a reboot of a failed MMORPG and an MMOJRPG at that.

JRPGs are a smaller niche genre, well off its apex of popularity whereas FPS games still haven't been superseded by any other genre as the premiere mainstream genre.

But given that the PS was the traditional home to JRPGs dating back to the original PS with FFVII, the PS4 is a fitting home for FFXIV as there are still plenty of JRPG fans who favor the Playstation brand.

Does it deserve the same hype as Titanfall? Subjective, but offhand I say no.

Does it still qualify as a console exclusive? Sure, not that this carries significant relevance.

It's a better game than FFXIV though.

I just wanted to say the FF14 is a damn fine game, and I’m having a blast playing with friends. This is my first MMO. And it's fantastic. I've had it in my console from day one and have been pumping hours into every day. It's also great that it’s cross platform, I've never felt like I’ve been in an empty world. On the other hand TF I’ve also had from day one, cant be bothered to turn it back on. It over promised and under delivered at least for me. I've also reached the shooter burn out phase, so that could have a lot to do with it, although I was playing BF daily till FF14 came out. So for me FF14>TF.
