The worst executed moneyhat in history.
Since this was successfully hidden in Microsoft discussion for some strange reason:
MS is out of two suitcases of cash with nothing to show for, as they would have gotten the game released 2015 anyway, it will get slaughtered by Fallout 4 (which MS is marketing as well, so they have a much better system seller there).
As I said in the other thread, I think a year delay was Square's decision rather than MS's. The game was probably planned for a simultaneous PC/PS4 release, but then Uncharted got delayed into that slot, so SE wanted to make as much distance between the two as possible.
