Xbox One Games List 2014: Titanfall Saves Microsoft? Upcoming Exclusive Slated As A ‘Big Deal’

Titanfall from EA Games and Respawn is slated as a "big deal" for the Xbox One, Forbes.com reports, leaving many gamers wondering if it will save Microsoft from smaller numbers of sales compared to Sony's Playstation 4.

Xbox One did significantly well, but not as well as the PS4, GameSpot.com writes.

"While both next-gen consoles started out strong in November, the PS4 nearly doubled sales of the Xbox One in January. And with the PS4 now out in Japan and off to a solid start, that gulf between Sony and Microsoft is only going to grow wider," the website writes.

"Microsoft still has no set date for bringing their console to Japan, which doesn't necessarily mean they'll be outsold over there, but Microsoft has generally faced an uphill battle in Japan. Even the Wii U is outperforming Microsoft's current Xbox 360 console in total sales, which doesn't present a very rosy picture for future Japanese success. [Note: I still think the Wii U is a pretty great machine, but even Nintendo has spoken out on its much lower than expected sales.]"

Xbox One UK marketing director Harvey Eagle recently stated that the biggest games of 2014 can only be played on the Xbox One, the Inquisitr reports.

"I'd say that Titanfall is a game that has won more than 80 awards so far. It's incredibly hotly anticipated, and I believe it's a game that people will buy an Xbox One in order to play," he said, according to the site.

"But moving forward, if you think about what I think are the three hottest games of the year to come - Titanfall, Watch Dogs and Destiny - the only place you're going to be able to play all three of those games is on Xbox One."

Xbox One's highly-anticipated title Titanhall will take up approximately 20GB of space, leaving many gamers wondering if it will require too much memory for the next-generation console.

"Hard drive space is especially important for a game like Titanfall, designed to be played repeatedly, over a long period of time," Forbes.com writes.

"A single-player focused game like Knack or Ryse can be safely discarded once a player finishes the story mode, but in an ideal world a Titanfall fan should always be within a few clicks of blasting up some mechs."
