I have bad news for all you Xbox 360 owners (Including myself) out there who were looking forward to finally purchasing and playing the new hit video game; Titanfall, we will have to wait another 2 weeks (After the 1st delay, so 3 weeks as of the time of this posting) to experience the new action-packed, parkour shooter.
Below you can find a quote from Polygon, a video game blog:
"Titanfall's Xbox 360 version, originally scheduled to launch on March 25, has been delayed to April 8, the game's maker announced.
According to a post on the game's official page, "we see a few things that can be made even better, so we're giving Bluepoint Games [the studio responsible for Titanfall's Xbox 360 version] a little more time to do that and deliver an epic Titanfall experience for Xbox 360 players.
"We appreciate everyone's patience as we get the last details right," the post added."

While it's obvious that upon hearing this news yesterday, I don't buy their reasoning for delaying the game. I'd like to go with the theory that Microsoft is still trying to push more Xbox One consoles onto the consumer and also to make March's NDP (A monthly report of video game sales for North America) numbers look better for their investors/shareholders and other 3rd parties as well as the NDP for April. (Since the Xbox 360 version of the game is coming out next month now...)
While I and other gamers have no solid evidence to back up this claim, I don't think that Bluepoint Games can really do much in the next 3 weeks besides making the day 1 patch of the game better because the game already went gold. (In the video game industry, that means that the game is done)
In the long run, none of this will really matter because I still intend on playing the game on my Xbox 360. I do not plan on purchasing a Xbox One until maybe next year if they announce a price drop for the console as well as the inevitable redesign.
End rant.
