Edit - Jason Schrier also confirmed it was Destiny-like.
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).
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.
It worked well for the Division.I see. So one year after Destiny 2. People who are bored or have left the game would jump to Anthem. Not a bad strategy.

According to the last article I read tit an fall 1 sold 10million copies.
Probably the game of the show for me since nothing else really grabs me from, Acti, Sony, Microsoft or ubisoft e3 catalog. Yea there might be some amazing unannounced game but i doubt it.
According to the last article I read tit an fall 1 sold 10million copies. I assumed bundles played a big roll in those sales but could be wrong. Assuming that npd doesn't track the bundle game sales bc it's a digital code it really doesn't matter anyway. Titan fall 2 was released with bad timing(bf1 release) when both consoles also already had plenty of shooter's . The first game released early in the gen cycle when gamers are thirsty for new ip and games to play. Yes the market it released in was smaller, it was also not flooded with quality online shooters. There are too many variables to be able to just say MS exclusivity is responsible for titan fall success. If you use your logic EA would never release a new ip on multiple platforms again and just sign deals. Do you see this being the future?

No mistake. BioWare changed the release date in the past hour. It read Spring 2018 before on both their Youtube and Twitter profiles.
Yes I mean a mistake on our side (EA/BioWare) in the description.
Uh you haven't even seen anything else yet.Probably the game of the show for me since nothing else really grabs me from, Acti, Sony, Microsoft or ubisoft e3 catalog. Yea there might be some amazing unannounced game but i doubt it.
I hate to break it to you, e3 hasn't started yet and we've seen no gameplay.Probably the game of the show for me since nothing else really grabs me from, Acti, Sony, Microsoft or ubisoft e3 catalog. Yea there might be some amazing unannounced game but i doubt it.
Great decision from a managing standpoint, now it gives them even more of an excuse to reuse Mass Effect assets.I have read a few articles about over the past few months on gaming sites.

All good, I've been on these boards (or reading them a long time)
Glad you liked it.
I feel exposed now that my profile actually shows I'm the Marketing guy up there!
We are never going to get a sequel to Jade Empire at this rate, are we?
Oh not an RPG and more like Destiny? Guess I'm out then. Expected a RPG because of Bioware^^
If you have to put ...thegame.com in your domain or @...thegame in your twitter handle you know you have an original and inspiring name for your title.
Anthem is a cool name.

Seeing as it's a Destiny killer/clone, that line is probably deliberate."The story doesn't end here. It's just the beginning."
Wow. Such deep. So mystery. Many question.
Anthem is a cool name.
