Microsoft's Phil Harrison has heaped praise on the launch of Titanfall, saying it is "blowing the doors off, literally and figuratively," as well as suggesting that it's too early to draw comparisons between PS4 and Xbox One, explaining that the rivalry between the two consoles as "a marathon, not a sprint".
"We're 120 days into our platform lifecycle. You know better than anyone that this is a marathon, not a sprint. We're happy with our plan," the European corporate VP told Venturebeat in an interview at this year's GDC.
"Things are going great. It's the fastest, most successful launch in our history. Titanfall is blowing the doors off, literally and figuratively. Great engagement, just fantastic proof of users not only buying Xbox One, but using it in a very engaged way. More than five hours average use per day, which is amazing.
"You can see independent surveys and studies showing our sell-through doubling in the UK as far as hardware. We have a fantastic line-up we'll reveal more of at E3 and beyond. We have a lot of great surprises to come."
