As part of EA's recent earnings call (PDF) today, EA stated that sales of Titanfall 2 are below their expectations.Titanfall 2 delivered the next important step in this new franchise we are building with our partners at Respawn – a highly-rated, action-packed experience that has thrilled players in the year’s biggest category. Player satisfaction scores for Titanfall 2 are among the highest in our portfolio, showing just how much fun players are having with this game. Titanfall 2 will be played for a long time to come, with new maps, modes and content updates continuing to expand the experience and engage our players. We’re excited about our long-term plans for the Titanfall franchise.(...)
We are deeply committed to players in our Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2 communities. Throughout the year ahead, we will continue to launch new content and new experiences to expand these vast and dynamic games.(...)
Net sales for the quarter were $2.07 billion, a new record for the company. The outperformance versus our expectations was driven by Battlefield 1 and FIFA 17, offset by Titanfall 2. Battlefield 1 is on course to be our best Battlefield ever. Sell through of FIFA 17 during Q2 and Q3 was 8% higher than that of FIFA 16 in the same period last year, and FIFA Ultimate Team sales continued to grow strongly. Like Battlefield 1, FIFA 17 is on course to be our best-selling FIFA of all time.

I'm sure the lack of marketing and the terrible release date placement for Titanfall 2's release totally had nothing to do with the game failing to meet sales expectations.
