To me, when a 3rd party goes exclusive, it screams "I'm not 100% sure of our product"
It makes sense for something like Dead Rising 3. Capcom knows it wasn't going to sell 5+ million in the first 6 months on both the PS4 and Xbox One. So take the guaranteed Microsoft money and then try to sell the game. It's a type of game that isn't big, and not a Shooter, so it may not sell at all
Capcom not having faith in the ability to sell Dead Rising 3 (even without all the development issues) is understandable.
And lets cut the B.S.
It never had anything to do with cloud servers. EA inked the deal and would not give 2 poops about cloud servers
It was never about sales forecasts as it was inked before they could ever of had anything to base that on. The PS3 has been outselling the 360 for 3+ years now
It was only EA falling in love with Xbox One's DRM always online no used games shit that this deal and other EA-Microsoft deals were struck
EA and Sony were partners when Sony was pushing Online Passes and EA partnered with Microsoft because of the DRM Xbox One was supposed to have.
EA's first mistake was not having faith in Titan Fall and cutting out 80+ million possible customers
EA's second mistake was backing Xbox One because of the DRM that never actually happened
