Some people here swear that other gamers spend time on gaming boards or pay attention to E3. Your average casual most likely doesn't even pay attention to E3, or are even aware of what it is.
I'm willing to bet my right nut, that TF will not outsell Halo, nor will it be GoTY.
We hear this talk HERE
You won't find a site on the net that is as lopsided towards xbox save the xb based sites.

The media storm that Microsoft will throw behind Titanfall will make it a massive title. With a seven month head start it's going to outsell whatever Halo game that comes out. Unless a Titanfall is a complete disaster that's how I see it playing out. I don't care about it being a GOTY. I'm talking about sales.
Exactly.
For crying out loud....TF is in the 79th spot on the best sellers list for video games on amazon. And that's for the XB1 version...the 360 version isn't even in the top 100, and we all know that the majority of XB gamers are still on 360. To put it in perspective, Diablo 3 expansion on pc is at spot 57, and that's coming out after TF. Look at that. An expansion for a pc game that got slaughtered in gamer feedback is doing better.
TF is only 10 weeks away, and can't manage to do better in pre-orders.
Would you like salt and pepper with that crow? I think we've even got a bit of lime in the cupboard.
I'll go ahead and start the oven now..... [goes to oven and turns temperature nob to BROIL]
Why don't u just admit that you are bias to the Xb1. It makes it so much easier. LoL!

We'll see. Anyway, I'm looking forward to TF, and if I get a XB1, it's because of TF. As a very BIG fan of CoD, I'm so looking forward to this. I'm even trying to convince my hardcore cousin to get an XB1 for TF....but he doesn't want to drop money for a game he's never heard of.
So, in the end, we'll see, but as of right now, there's no kind of evidence that it'll be the #1 exclusive seller, nor is there any evidence that pre-orders are all that strong. On the contrary, 10 weeks away, and not much interest is being shown over at amazon, which is usually a good indicator of how things are going gaming wise.
Right. If you say so.... As you said, "we'll see." But I get the feeling you should prepare yourself to be wrong......again.
Outside of forum readers I don't know anyone that's heard of it either, then again there has been no marketing yet other than that mech making an appearance in the X1 commercial.
Why do these idiots all do these silly videos from their bedrooms?
Oh wait... 'cause they're living @ home with MOMMY......
I think making Titanfall a MP only experience may kind of limit the game.
I guess we walk amongst the casuals then. The game still has 2 months until release. Plenty of time for Respawn and Microsoft to get the word out on Titanfall. You know, back to my Gears of War point. I didn't know anything about it and then i saw the commercial which to this day stands as my favorite gaming ad of all time. I was sold on the game without even seeing any gameplay. All they need to do is market it and they will. Microsoft is the king of marketing.
Sega was close to Nintendo but not Sony...
Nintendo needs to show me something special and fast or I am selling the Wii U for a X1.
Yeah, I should've considered my audience better. A joke about "Major Nelson math" isn't going to go over very well in an X1 thread. Some people even thought I was being serious.
Oh well, I found it funny. I chuckle at the mental gymnastics.

No Im not. I actually predicted the X1 would sell over 1 million consoles before its release and was right. There are other predictions I made as well that were correct too.you are wrong always
What are you talking about?
These words might have held water a months back, but the Wii U has been steady mashing with quality exclusives.
We'll see, as I said before though the game is also going to be released on 360 and PC so people really don't have to go out and buy an X1 to play it. People pretending this is going to be something that puts MS over the top are going a bit far though, that price point is going to be very hard to justify unless you are part of the hardcore group that already has or is planning on buying one anyway.
Titanfall very well could be an awesome game, some of the MS guys need to cool off a bit though and remember this game is exclusive but future versions won't be. Honestly it doesn't appeal to me but I'm not someone who usually buys multiplayer only games.
Unless the Christmas numbers show other wise it hasn't been enough for people to care.
I think MS may have bcome complacant.
At the beginning of last gen, other than the RROD, & maybe watching bluray, its hard to imagine why anyone wanted a PS3, 3rd party games looks better, & more stable, sometimes with better frame rate on the 360. There are many AAA exclusive like Mass Effect, Bioshock, Gears of war, Halo3, Forza, to name a few. While PS3 gamers have to settle for Liar & Heavenly Sword (Both overhype, & under delivered). The only decent exclsive for a long while was Resistence.
Major 3rd party games like COD sold much better on xbox360, probably making MS think there is no need to invest in their own studios. We know eventually Bioshock & Mass effect series become non exclusive, & next Gears is a question mark now, be it exclusive or even planned?
But Sony investment in their own studios, as well as investing time to making their online & UI much better finally pays off at the end of last gen, & we are seeing the fruit of the labor already this gen. I honestly can't even say MS UI is still better now, if at all.
Now that the gen have been resetted, There is no garantee that battlefield or COD will sold better on MS platform, no granantee hot series like Titanfall will stay exclusive, especially with PS4 selling better.
Its like MS & Sony swapping role this gen, its funny & sad at the same time.
But the gen is still early, & as long as MS make the platform more compellng (like lowering the price), I can see both Platforms having comparable market share when the dust is settled. Ms had the chance to finally the next gen by a considerable margin, but that train had since left (After E3) in my opinion.

Wii U is widely expected to be a distance 3rd. Zelda & Mario can only do this much, without proper 3rd parties support.
After disapointing cod and buggy battlefield....yeah.
On a 500 dollar console that has sold over 3 million.
