For nylig blev det afsløret, at grundet en mærkværdig timing, presset ind imellem Battlefield 1 og Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, så har Titanfall 2 solgt bare en fjerdedel af sin forgænger, på trods af at være tilgængelig på PlayStation 4. Nu har EA svaret igen på kritikken, for de er stadig sikre på at de har truffet den rigtige beslutning i forhold til timing på udgivelsen.
Andrew Wilson sagde følgende:
"They fulfill very different motivations in what a player is looking for."
"We think there's really three types of players. People that really love Battlefield and that kind of big strategic gameplay that will orient in that direction; the player that loves the fast, fluid, kinetic gameplay of Titanfall 2 that really orient in that direction; and the player that just has to play the two greatest shooters this year and will buy both."
"And again, we're very very excited about the quality in both titles. We believe they both will have a long sale cycle, both this quarter through the festive season and deep into the years to come.
"And so as we think about the long game on this, we couldn't be in a better position for what we think is delivering great games to a very, very big player base."
Har han ret?
