Blissfully is right, there's lots of misinformation in there I don't care to correct.

And it's no surprise Respawn and EA are comfortable with Titanfall 2 enough to not need a MS investment, the first one reviewed great and sold very well. The first one was a rushed and risky new IP that EA wasn't comfortable investing much more into and Respawn was not going to give the IP to EA in exchange for more money. So in the end they got to release their game and keep their IP and PS4 gamers get Titanfall 2 with a full dev cycle and a larger investment than the original got. Seems a win for everyone.

Win for everyone except EA who if they had of ported it to ps4 would have made major dolla.  That's probably the worst decision of the gen so far.  

Worst decision of the gen so far? Really? That's laughable at best. You have SFV right here in this thread.

Titanfall 2 is coming this year and will sell millions across the three platforms. Seems EA did just fine. Also, again, try reading up on this stuff. It wasn't solely EA's decision to sign a deal with Microsoft :)

Not going to bother trying to educate you on this anymore.

Can you link me to where Nintendo said it shipped more than 1.4m WW?

Can you link me to where Capcom said SFV sold 1.4m at retail in the US?

Don't hold your breath waiting on that link.

Yes by far the worst.  Vgchartz has titanfall retail x1 at around 3m. I'd estimate the ps4 would be up around 5m. That's around $200m thrown down the swanny.  We know EA love cheese but they blew it with that decision.  

 

First of all a publisher that big shouldn't be going for 1 platform and secondly if they do don't bet against Playstation because history tells us most of the time Playstation is king.  

 

Not sure what goes on behind closed doors but EA seemed so cosy with MS. Bad decision.

I said it was shipped because I know it was shipped.  Pokken won't ship more than SFV and therefore will never outsell it.  Your points are irrelevant.

So you are saying Pokkén won't ever ship 1.4 million?

He is denying the OP, which has stated that Pokken has already outsold SFV at retail in the US.

Going exclusive was a bad move.

No I'm saying that Pokken will ship a certain number when all is said and done,  and that number will be lower than the final shipment numbers for SFV. 

 

@pavo.  Don't be making up tales. I'm not denying it was outsold at retail in the US.

I'm not making tales, you are the one. This thread is about Pokken outselling SFV at reatil in the US and you are here, talking about WW numbers that doesn't have anything to do.

Yes because people were celebrating it selling more in one region and then others like it has done it WW when there's no evidence to go by.  Strange world we live in.

They supposedly couldn't afford it so they had Sony bankroll it.
