I didn't want to make a thread, but am I the only one that thinks TItanfall hype was more big than Halo? TItanfall was at least talked about a ton during the first 3 weeks. Maybe I'm wrong but that's way I feel

XBone fans don't support their exclusives. This, Ori and shyt even the hype for Halo is way down. 
Titanfall was definitely hyped more

The GOAT
When I was just a boyAnd the train just keeps rollin along
My mother told me son
Always use a sony dont u fukk with microsoft
But I bought a Xbox1
For four tweeeenty five
And i look at the controller
In my hands and just cry
Titanfall had more hype than any other game I can remember in recent memory.
I think a big part of that was the fact xbox one was struggling to keep up with ps4 so the xbox fan boys were going into over drive hyping this game as the savior of xbox and the next big thing. As well the media was hyping it like crazy because it was made by old inifinity ward team.
Then it hit and just fizzled out like nothing. Xbox one didnt even outsell ps4 the month it dropped. Game wasnt as good as the hype.
Thats why when people say it flopped its because it was hyped up the be THE game that would change the momentum to xbox for the gen. Yeah it sold 2-3 million and its getting a sequel but it didnt really take off like they really wanted it to.

I bet those smart folks eating

Well I know I had it coming

But I cant afford a new mattress
And thats what tortures me
Dirty Mcdrawz
Your girl loves em....
I just want a proper conker sequel 
I vividly remember the fake hype some Xbots had for this game. I also remember saying that when the game dropped that none of them were going to play it seriously.

Ms
have been making it fairly clear they don't consider their console business to be particularly relevant anymore. When Nadella took over, he said they'd be focusing on Windows, Office, and the cloud, and added that while gaming didn't seem particularly relevant to Microsoft's core interests, it was actually the biggest segment "in a mobile-first world" and he felt they could have an impact there. Note, he said mobile — phones and tablets — not consoles or even computers. Gaming is important to mobile, and mobile is important to MS.
When asked about the sales disparity with the PS4 recently, Phil said it didn't matter because he had users on 360, Bone, and Windows to worry about now. When asked about the recent trend of bringing XBox games to Windows, he basically said even MS can't afford to make exclusives for the Bone anymore, and if it weren't for the Windows versions, these games may not get made at all, so look for most or all of their games to appear on Windows in the future. In fact, I believe he said the only reason games like Halo and Gears aren't sim-launching on Windows is because they didn't realize until development was well underway. He recently told Polygon he's obliterating the distinction between XBox and PC. Everything is Windows now.
And if there was any doubt remaining whether they considered consoles to be significant for them going forward, their recent earnings report made it quite clear that they don't, because they'll no longer be reporting them, at all. Now it's all about Live logins. XBox's primary purpose is luring people on to Microsoft's servers.
XBox doesn't really have a future as a console. Its future is to be the brand name for gaming on Windows; primarily on phones and tablets, to hear Nadella tell it, though I suspect they have Steam in their sights in addition to Apple and Google. Much like the Vita, the Bone is basically a legacy product; a living relic from a time gone by. I actually have to hand it to MS. They've actually been pretty straightforward about their intentions, but have still managed to be subtle enough that many would say the idea that they've moved past consoles is crazy. lol

Plenty of Sony projects have failed as well.
PlayStation Home was a garbage social experiment.

My response did. It's a common mistake made on consoles.
Gaming with heavy social hooks and heavy focus on user creation doesn't typically work on consoles unless it has a tight focus. Project Spark, PlayStation Home and several other BS titles released in the past couple of years continues to prove that time and time again.

So what titles have worked, in your opinion?
