Is Titanfall the Xbox One’s Saviour?

Karl Dodds writes: "So Titanfall just launched on the Xbox One and PC and will follow suit on the Xbox 360 in a matter of weeks. As Microsoft’s latest flagship console is lagging behind the PS4 by a couple million units, it begs the question: Is Titanfall really the Xbox One’s saviour?"

Probablys yes or so far, yes.

[MorePowerOfGreen]

Xbox One exclusive games, system software and services are Xbox One's saviours, not to mention gamers getting sick of the anti Xbox bandwagon propaganda.

"Im buying an XB1 for $500 because of its operating system".

You should be put down.

Gamers are not getting sick, unless you mean the XB1 gamers over on Misterxmedia then yes, I agree. I use the term gamers loosely.

[Garethvk]

It is keeping it in the media but honestly you can play it on PC and 360 so not a game to buy the Xbox One for.

lol

X1 sells more than 2x PS1 at 10 months

more than PS2 at 7 months

more than PS3 at 4 months

All this according to the numbers SONY PROVIDED to show how well PS4 is doing in 57 countries.

Guess that means X1 is doing outstanding in just 13 countries then.

but needs a savior, lol

[awesomeisjayell]

My thoughts exactly smh

[stuna1]

You all keep using that 57 country argument, and it is flimsy as HELL!

Regardless of how many more countries the PS4 has released in compared to the Xbox1, it would have made little to no difference at all! Example if Microsoft had already released in Japan, what impact would it have made compared to the PS4? Quick answer, little to none. Take the other countries Sony has released in as opposed to Microsoft not yet released in, and the same scenario will undoubtably play itself out.

A lot of the countries the PS4 has released in, Microsoft has no market penetration whatsoever! Microsoft has released in the 13 countries it has, simply because those 13 countries make up the bulk of its brand recognition or, the areas where Microsoft feels the Xbox1 has a better chance of selling well.

Why do you think there has been little to no mention of launching in other countries!? One of their big reasoning was because of Kinects language recognition being a issue, but they haven't spoken on that subject since launch.

Just because you choose to be gullible, doesn't mean everyone else around you chooses to be gullible right along with you.

@WB

Your're sitting there arguing semantics! My argument hold plenty of water.

1) Why do you think Microsoft have release countries designated as tiers? Plain and simple, Microsoft plans where to release the Xbox1 in countries that are most important to their goal first! Hence the first designation being tier 1, next countries not as viable to to their ultimate goal, but welcomed! Hence second designation tier 2, then we have the countries least important to their ultimate goal! Tier 3 which is there least important countries

2) I never said they wouldn't sell consoles! I said it would make little to no difference in how many countries they haven't released in as of yet.

3) With all the stock still present in their tier 1 countries, why haven't they as of yet at least attempted to pool the excess to at least start supplying stock for the other tier countries?

@stuna1

You're argument would hold water if it made sense. Releasing in more countries most likely WOULDN'T put the X1 on even ground.

Not releasing in those other countries means it's one less sale it could potentially have.

Regardless...if Micro had released in more countries that would mean at LEAST one more sale and that counts.

All those X1's that people keep saying are just sitting in stores could have POTENTIALLY been sold had it been sitting in another, unreleased, territory. Simple as that.

[OrangePowerz]

Saying that the console needs a saviour at the moment is a bit over the top. I'm certainly not a fan of the console, but it's not doing that bad.

[diehardmetallicafan]

no chance in hell

[hello12]

Bought it i like it, but i think the lower player count does hurt it. I kill more bots than players must of the time. Private lobbies been patched in is welcomed news.

The maps are good. 10 of them are good 3 to 4 of them just alright.

[Godmars290]

We'll likely get a better clue later this month and certainly by the end of next.

Now? Not a clue.

[Ank666]

Sony is allotting stocks in 57 countries
& XBone is just in 11

& that is reflected how PS4 is in pre-booking in every freaking country
& XBone is readily available even outside of those 11 countries as grey imports

If Sony had allotted full stocks only in those 11 countries & abandoned rest of the world like M$
Then we would have really seen where XBox really stood against a readily available $100 cheaper & technically superior device

As far as this.....a single game will never be enough to make or break a system
Halo became legendary,but XB original will always be remembered for it's failures

Can't wait to play TitanFall on my 360 come 25th \m/

[urwifeminder]

No but the incoming games that are unannounced will raise some eye brows I bet , but titanfall is an ace card and will do well.

[BG11579]

It's more like, Titanfall will be the savior of the 360's drought for games.
