To everyone talking about the game selling below expectations, and those responding saying "what were the expectations?"

6 million is the expectation by the end of the year:

I think that's across all 3 platforms. It's currently at 2.5M. So 3.5M expected to sell in the next 7 months (or maybe 2.5M expected to sell since 6M is only the shipped figure they want). Take from that what you will

it will fail to reach 6m, unless it can do much of that before Destiny kills all intrest in other shooters.

This thread reminds me of why I rarely come on here anymore. Some of the comments are idiotic, at best.

Titanfall was extremely hyped, not just by internet gamers but even more so by the gaming press... in fact the press went way OTT on it... can only guess that there was a lot of paid "Articles" etc.

I don't think it has sold as well as MS has hoped, but for EA, they are probably pretty pleased with it, just because it sounds like it didn't cost them that much and they made money from the MS exclusivity deal. Now they can see it has a future and get it on the PS4 as well and sell more. Win win.

Personally though, unless it has a SP component I'm not interested, i was pretty amazed at the lack of content and it was getting 9/10's on some reviews... so we shall see, I do think it has a promising future if they can start building the content for the game though.

Although Titanfall didn't live up to the Hype and have pulled 'ok' numbers; I think the sequel will be BIG


Full game with a release on the biggest console userbase, it be a decent guess thats what Ea is betting on.

Unless they plan to keep it online only and turn out a TF on the yearly, with MS $ to keep it exclusive.   

Speculations, speculations. This is what your argument is based upon.

Let me repost one of your comments:

  Everything you posted is just your opinion, what exactly are you arguing with that baseless opinion ?

 

While you might be right, please tell me you see that EA would be insane to do the bolded with TitanFall.

Idk, I don't play on PC. But on Xbox One I play all the modes and never have a problem finding a game.

The irony is pretty heavy here considering the games overall budget is $500 million, most of which will go to marketing and MEGA HYPE!

Meanwhile....the reality may very well fall below that of all the hype....the exact thing you are saying about Titanfall. And yet you are falling into the hype trap yet again.

Might I add us Xbox fans have some claim to talk up Titanfall because while multiplat, it ain't on PS4. Destiny, is available on 360/X1 and yet you kinda spoke like you have a similar claim on the title. Huh. Guess pretend exclusivity is real.

See you care about shit like its not on PS4 and call a game "yours" lol i dont.  Irony being i own a X1 and couldnt care less about titanfall, got bored of it while it was still beta. 

Destiny can be mediocre run of the mill shooter, its the marketing that will kill.
