@De85 - The ability to release the sequels in the trilogy on all platforms is far more valuable than the ability to release the original on the PC. That is why I think the agreement between EA and MS was purely a financial agreement. MS didn't have any control over the sequels so why would EA give them control?

Out of all possible terms for the deal I think financial would be the least likely. EA is losing money, and MS already has tons of it. That kind of deal just wouldn't make sense, and is why I think it involved publishing rights for the sequels. Hell, maybe MS even gave them a little extra cash to even it out, but I see no plausible scenario where EA paid MS.
