some of you people are stupid. microsoft just cant magically change other peoples contracts and agreements.

You're not following, MrBubbles.

 

 

What Microsoft can do, is threaten to not allow said title on their console.

That threat in and of itself can, and likely will, inspire removal of exclusive content.

because that would make the dev break an agreement and open themselves to lawsuit from sony and sony would just sit quietly and not make a huge deal out of it.

You're assuming that these little content exclusive agreements are concrete, ironclad, YOU BETTER DO IT OR ELSE, type agreements.  That's very doubtful, MrBubbles.

The only reason developers do these types of things in the first place is because Sony incentivises them extra...and those incentives, as I'm told, are usually on the back end.  Meaning, Sony will charge them a lessor royalty/licence fee.

So in other words.....No extras = no extra royalty incentive....easy come, easy go.   No muss, no fuss.

 

That's how these small little agreements work MrBubbles......emphasis on the word small, and for a good reason.
