Actually they were quite happy with the sales - when they hit 8.5 million.

Think of it this way - if Microsoft funded the game enough it only existed because of Microsoft - why is it on steam and ps4?

If the game existed without them funding it - then what is your point?

This is all speculations. We dont know what MS did with Sqaure. All we know is that Sqaure said MS is helping fund the development. No different to what Sony did with SFV. Reason why TR is probably coming out on all platforms is based off how much money they spent on it. Sony obviously spent more on SFV and we are talking about MS, there not picky on where there games go. Theres rumours claiming Rare's Replay might be coming to a Nintendo Platform.  

The more money spent on a game the more chance the game gains more quality. MS helped fund it which helps Square and Crystal produce RoTR. These inside deals Sony, MS and Nintendo make are complicated. They will never tell the world the truth behind it.

At the end of the day, both Sony and MS help fund the development of both games which leads to some exclusive rights except Sony keeps SFV and MS enjoyed a years exclusivness.

Why do i care? I dont, i game on PC, i get both anyway. My point is gamers are blinded by what they read and how it presents itself and not looking at the core of the subject. Sony might have said it in a nicer way then MS but its all the same thing. Just like Bayonetta 2 on WiiU.

MS is not picky about where their games go?  Why did they bother to purchase the Gears IP when Gears 4 could have gone multiplat?  Why are no MS games other than Minecraft (only because it was already released multiplat) on anything other than X1 or WINDOWS store)?  Hell look at FF14, the reason that game is not on X1 is because they would not allow a shared network for cross play with PSN.  And as for Rare Replay, until it happens that is nothing but PR BS to look good.  Any of their other IPs that went multiplat they never owned and therefore had notl control over to begin with (example Mass Effect).

 

Look we get it, you hate Sony.  Some of your arguments are simply laughable though.  Though I will agree with you on one thing.  Sony made sure SFV would not go to X1, MS did not do the same with RotTR beyond being a timed exclusive.
