Will Titanfall Sell Xbox Ones?

Will the split between 360, Xbox One, and PC mean fewer people buy Microsoft's new console?

GraveLord4481d ago

Of course it will.

I know people that bought a PS4 for Call Of Duty Ghosts...

FITgamer4481d ago

@Gravelord The second part of your comment made cringe lol.

OT: I agree with everything Colin said in the video, i don't think that it make people that already have hardware to play it on go out and buy Xbox One just for Titanfall, but it will definitely move consoles.

Kingthrash3604481d ago (Edited 4481d ago )

the bundles may but if someone owns a 360 or pc and haven't made the jump yet mostly due to the price of x1 or other reasons may just get it on pc or 360...its cheaper.
thats why tf isnt really a "system seller" its not a exclusive and is available on other platforms with a larger install base. so you got 59.99 in one hand and 499.99-559.99...a huge gap to make that jump.
also its mp only and MANY dont have internet access in their area...soooo yeah not really...fun game tho.
this is my opinion though....the game is so over hyped that some may jump.
i wanna see real reviews first, i mean ALOT and i do mean ALOT of flaws have been largely overlooked in this game, its getting away with things that other fps would get killed for...hek even kzm on the vita got killed for 4v4....smh

SonyROXitoohya4481d ago

Lol a bunch of my 360 friends are buying an xbox one for titanfall :) so yeah it will, hell there was just an article title saying, I bought an xbox one for titanfall :P

Just because they buy it for titanfall doesn't mean they also aren't going to buy other games and exclusives for it like many are stupidly assuming

TomShoe4481d ago (Edited 4481d ago )

Of course it will sell XBOs. The question is, how many?

It's got about a 1-1.5 month window before we start moving on to the next big thing, so I'm not sure if it will make up the WW sales gap, but it could potentially even up the race in the US, which still has a lot of 360-loyalists still on the fence, looking for a reason to stay in the ecosystem. PS4 is looking for them to jump ship with Infamous: SS. Will they win hearts? We will see.

JokesOnYou4481d ago (Edited 4481d ago )

lol, got to love the hit seeking headlines ALL games help consoles, some more than others but its the strength of the entire library, future titles you *think will release, platform direction, online strength, controller and gaming habits with friends that "sell" consoles. X1 future is not dependent on Titanfall...hell only Halo *might be able to make that claim and that's only because Halo name is synonymous with Xbox brand more than any 1 game is to 1 specific platform. Titanfall will be just a great game that will get a few more folks to get off the fence, and so on, and so on.

I think some folks are just too close to this PR stuff, I can 100% garuantee you that if Titanfall sells 4mil copies in a few months and X1 leads sales in the US/UK for a few months, ps4 owners are going to still love their ps4, Infamous will still be just as good or bad no matter what Titanfall does, X1 wont be saved anymore than its doomed after only 3 months sales lower than ps4, and I know this might sound crazy but trust me Titanfall wont magically play any better because sales are higher than any other game so far or lower. X1 and ps4 sales are going to be healthy next year this time and nobody will remember this headline. Remember the ps3 was suppose to sell like hotcakes? Remember the 360 would not last like the original? Remember the ps3 doom?, Remember RROD? Now Today we know earth didnt stand still and when the dust settles after all the wild positive speculation and insane doom speculation the ONLY thing we know for sure is these two companies/consoles are still standing and did very well. lol, Seriously the dramatic headlines are getting old, it would be nice to just enjoy games again.

darthv724481d ago

The game itself will sell regardless of platform. Interested people who have an XB1 will buy it. Interested people who have a 360 will buy it. Interested people who have a PC that can run it will buy it.

when it comes to the bundle, those who were planning on getting an XB1 for this game can now just get the bundle. those who were planning on getting an XB1 regardless of this game can still choose to do so or get this bundle.

It's a win / win situation.

I don't think there are actually people really believing titanfall won't sell xbox ones. The real question is how many more will bes sold. It should at least give them a nice bump up in march sales.

Evilsnuggle4481d ago (Edited 4481d ago )

Titanfall is not a system seller because it on 360 and PC. Titanfall looks last gen it 792p 60fps on foot titans 35-45fps game. Titanfall will be the same graphics with better frame rate on 360. Titanfall will sell well yes But it's not a console exclusive. Every x1 owner will buy Titanfall. People who are on the fence about buying a x1 will because of Titanfall. Also sell of x1 will go up because some people are waiting for Titanfall . X1 will not out sale PS4 for the month of March. The only real way for x1 to out sell PS4 is a lot of true consoles exclusive. Why would anyone spend $600 for the same game with better frame rate . When you could get it on 360.

JustPlay44480d ago (Edited 4480d ago )

That is not a good reason to get a ps4

Anyway I say no I don't see it as a system seller, like Halo will be, it just another shooter, its fun but I would not pay 500 just to play it

Austacker4480d ago

Will Titanfall Sell Xbox Ones?

Not in Australia, we don't even have a local data service.

Who buys a console to play a twitch shooter with 200+ ping being the 'best' option?

shorty74a4480d ago

Of course it will, especially if it is bundled with the console.

Axios24481d ago

Especially if it's bundles, look at GT5

Hicken4480d ago

How long did it take for GT5 to be bundled? Sometime after it had hit 5 million sales?

Neonridr4481d ago

It will definitely help sell consoles. How many remains to be seen. Obviously the better the game gets reviewed, the more people are going to want to jump on the bandwagon to see what it's all about.

Having it as a bundle definitely doesn't hurt its chances either.

Mikelarry4481d ago

yup exactly the same situation i was when i got my gears bundle. it was every where and as Sony was wasting time bring the ps4 to the UK i made that jump and i don't regret my purchase. for 399 including titanfall i am looking to purchase the one, now what to do with my 360 that's the question

Ketzicorn4481d ago

It looks like its 499 with Titanfall in the US.

Kingthrash3604481d ago

399? i see they blinded you from the truth...lol

Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.

MadLad1362d ago

Lol

All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

Venoxn4g1361d ago (Edited 1361d ago )

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games

gurp761d ago

I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS games

An ode to Titanfall: The last twitch shooter I'll probably ever enjoy

Windows Central: "Titanfall 1 is being sunset, taken off storefronts by EA. While the servers remain live for now, one has to wonder just how much time it has left. I look back and pay tribute to the last "twitch"-styled shooter I ever truly loved."
