EA seem to be doing well out of Microsoft this gen. But it makes me wonder why MS bother buying the Fifa rights which no doubt isn't cheap.

Despite mass bundling fifa the sku still sells multiple times less then on it's competing platform. Titanfall or battlefield bundle makes more sense for the xbox platform, so I'd imagine they'll have a bundle with them aswell.

Don't think they have to pay that much because of their good connection with EA and opening the ability to have stuff as EA access on their console.

You don't think they charge Microsoft a lot when they know Microsoft need these big deals?  And besides EA wouldn't under sell themselves.  They like money and are in the business of making it.  

 

One things for sure though,  Activision have done better than EA regarding the deals.  same as last gen though.  Activision did the best deals.

Mindset. The more they continue to promote FIFA with Xbox, the more they hope it becomes ingrained in people's minds. And maybe with the XB1.5 update hits, people will get it for the "definitive" FIFA or something.

Think I'll be getting FIFA on Xbox this time around as I think the pad is so much nicer than the PS4 pad. Only problem with that is, I currently have 4 PS4 pads and 1 XB1 pad, so also need to grab at least another one of them lol.

I'm so tempted to get it, enough to consider cancelling my FFXV: UCE pre-order.
