The more I read about these Titans and their Falling, the more stoked I become. Should be a bloody fun game.

No wonder Microsoft "delayed" Titanfall on the 360 by a few weeks. Surprised they haven't tried the same for the PC version to push some more console sales.

per @LuckyLongworth: PS4 was #1 in sales for next gen consoles in January, nearly doubling the nearest next gen competitor.

Also, I'm told by Sony that @tombraider on PS4 outsold the Xbox One version 2:1

Actually shocking due to supply constraints for PS4, while XBox One was readily available.

Have to think it would have been even worse if PS4 actually had stock.

Problem with titanfall as far as selling consoles goes is that its not exclusive and the best version is on PC.

Looking forward to the PC version myself although online only? I usually enjoy a campaign

It's not even Xbox One exclusive... If someone really wanted to play it that bad and didn't have a platform for it, are they gonna spend $500 for a One or $150 (or less) for a 360? Microsoft is banking on it being a system seller but outside of the core gaming community, no one has heard of it.

That isn't quite accurate. Maybe allocating production capacity differently due to an upcoming launch because of manufacturing constraints. What company wouldn't want to sell everything they possibly could?

Will likely get is since I have the XBox One and the game will be that systems flagship for the time being but agree about the Campaign.

Hate the movement to games that are focused on just Multiplayer. Give me a good story and campaign over multiplayer every time.

agreed, mindless shooting is fun and all but games with compelling stories are the ones that stand the test of time. Again I will likely try it out but it is sounding more and more like call of duty with mechs and 12 year olds swearing at me and calling me a fag gets old after about 2 seconds

okay so what the hell?

I went to ebgames for the first time in a while and looked at the ps4 games... all the upcoming games have had their price increased from the 59.99 to 69.99

theif was actually at 64.99
watch dogs was 69.99
destiny was 69.99

looking at futureshop destiny is up to 69.99 and I'm sure the new games will follow suit.

So why are games $10 more expensive now? seriously?

Guess I'm going to start being 1-2 years behind on games as there is no way i'm paying $80 for a new game with tax

Those pre-orders during the E3 sales are looking better and better. $40 locked in a ready to go for pretty much every game on the horizon.

Collector's Editions are another story though (not available during the E3 sales week). At worst, Best Buy will give you some decent credit when you buy games with their rewards points.
