I kind of think EA would have done the same marketing, they do it with all there big shooters a majority of the time. Ea didn't have another shooter at the time compared to when titanfall 2 released.
I'm sorry, but posts like this show you simply don't know what you're talking about, and are instead trying to impose revisionist history.
It's not a matter of what you "think." EA didn't even market Battlefield 1 the way Microsoft marketed Titanfall, and that's
Battlefield. This is why third party marketing rights even exist; the publisher can save an obscene amount of money by letting a console manufacturer advertise on their behalf. And Microsoft went crazy with TF.
Again, look at Titanfall sales (especially launch sales) and compare it to other multiplat titles at the time (hell, even now, compared to TF2 it's very lopsided even with the massively higher install base AND being multiplat).
I think the bundle had more to do with titanfall sales than anything else and the game could have sold just as well if it released on both console. Doing do might have helped the sequel sell more copies as well. We will never know and I am just speculating but do are you
Except you're wrong, because in the TF2 thread at launch the sales were being compared to launch numbers and first month numbers (NPD). So why do you mention a bundle? The bundle was with digital copies of the game and NPD did not track digital at the time, afaik.
As far as your last part, read above.
