Because Microsoft payed for it. Obviously. The whole "cloud" argument becomes useless when you see its also coming to Xbox 360 and PC. Besides, the Azure servers can be used for any platform, even PS3/PS4 if the developers pay for them.

The other platforms also get access to MS's cloud for Titanfall.

That's what I said. The cloud isn't some sort of Xbox exclusive feature. Any game can use dedictated servers on any platform. 

I was responding to the part where you said the "cloud argument becomes useless because it's coming to PC/360". Those platforms are getting the same deal from MS as the Xbox One version is.

Have you listened to the people making the game talk about the cloud integration? It's more than dedicated servers. And while you're right, theoretically EA could go out and lease out cloud access from some company, will it be as cheap/impressive performance wise as what MS is offering? Not likely.
