Titanfall 2 released last week to more platforms and even more glowing reviews than the original yet sales figures have been anything but impressive. The sequel, which released on PS4 as well as Xbox One and PC, didn't match the UK retail sales of the original.
While retail sales are definitely decreasing in an ever-digital world it doesn't bode well for the title. Respawn Entertainment have also been praised for including all future content packs for free and that the title will have no season pass.
Consumers aren't as confident however. And with Titanfall 2 being a large multiplayer title, playerbase comes heavily into account. As time goes on people will become more and more wary of buying a title with a shrinking playerbase.
