Titanfall 2 Single Player Cinematic Trailer is here and looks amazing
Many of us have questioned how Titanfall’s single player would be like ever since the first game came out in 2014. Respawn had just released a new Cinematic trailer for the game and it shows you different settings such as fighting in the dark on a battlefield or in a urban area with Titans. I think we could see a lot of different interaction with Pilots and Titans after watching this. Pilots are the dominant force on the Frontier, combined with a Titan their powers become unmatched in battle no matter the odds. What truly separates a Pilot from a grunt is the Bond between Pilot and Titan, experience it in Titanfall 2’s brand new Single Player campaign dropping on October 28th.

Microsoft's Original Goal was to sell 200 million consoles
Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer says the company’s original goal was to sell 200 million consoles, now that sounds like Microsoft has some confidence. In a recent interview with Stevivor, Spencer reveals Microsoft’s original plans. “The goal that the team had was to figure out how could we sell 200 million game consoles,” says Spencer. “We’ve never seen a console sell that many units. The biggest individual console, the PS2, did 120 million or something like that.” When Don Mattrick was at the head of Xbox he made it seem that the console was all about TV and all this other great things the Xbox One can do such as play games. Most fans before launch were not viewing just as a gaming console, but once Phil took over he turned that around. Spencer believes the Xbox One needs to “succeed with gamers first before we get any permission to go do anything else.” “When we came in after two-and-a-half years ago and started running the Xbox program,” continues Spencer, “I centred us back on not trying to become something other than a game console. You don’t earn the right to be relevant in other categories of usage for the console until you’ve earned the gaming right, so let’s go make sure that’s what we deliver” There is no doubt that Phil Spencer has turned the Xbox One around with it being the lead seller the past 2 months and with Scorpio coming out the fans have more to choose from. The Xbox UK Sales are up 1,000% since the Xbox One S launched.
UK Xbox Sales Up 1,000% following Xbox One S Launch
We all know that the Xbox One sales have been doing very good in the US as Xbox was the best selling console for the past 2 months. Thanks to MCV, we have learned that the UK Xbox sales are up 1,000% since Microsoft has released the new 500GB and 1TB Xbox One S and now the brand new FIFA bundle. Microsoft’s share of the hardware market for the week ending September 24 has jumped to 71 percent – a year-on-year increase of 76 percent, and a week-on-week rise of a significant 989 percent. “It’s great to see how popular both the Xbox One S and the FIFA 17 Xbox One S consoles are with fans, not just over the last week but since the Xbox One S was released in August. 4K video streaming and 4K UHD Blu-ray have been extremely well received by gamers and critics and we believe there is no better value right now for those looking to upgrade their console.” – Xbox UK marketing director, Harvey Eagle. We will see how it will hold up in the coming months as Sony has the PS4 Slim and the PS4 Pro coming up in November. Microsoft has done a great job marketing the Xbox One S and hopefully the success can continue.
