The Xbox 360 version of Titanfall has been delayed from March 11th to March 25th, publisher EA announced last night.
On Twitter, EA said:
Titanfall Xbox One & PC coming Mar 11; Xbox 360 moves to Mar 25 to give Bluepoint time to put the finishing touches on the game. #titanfall

Bluepoint Games is developing the Xbox 360 version of Titanfall while Respawn Entertainment is producing the game for PC and Xbox One.
EA's Patrick Soderlund explained the decision on the publisher's website, saying:
"To give them [Bluepoint] the time they need to put the finishing touches on the current-gen version of the game, we are moving the Xbox 360 ship date to March 25 in North America and March 28 in Europe. The extra two weeks will ensure the full world of Xbox gamers has an awesome experience."
Respawn has said that they expect to provide information on the game's beta in the coming days. While the delay is unfortunate for Xbox 360 owners, at least it is only two weeks. It will be interesting to see how Bluepoint's efforts stack up against Respawn's come March 25th.
Analysts predict Titanfall could sell between six and ten million copies. Which platform will you be buying it on?
