without knowing how much money was exchanged it's really hard to decide if it was worth it to one or the other side (or both). i guess the real test is to see how much titanfall and pvzGW sells and how many xbox's it pushes. if they flop both sides will probably regret these deals.

it certainly was a lot of special treatment though..

The deals was made before the consoles launches when EA guessed Xbone will outsell PS4... after saw the thuth comming out I guess they won't make these kind of deals anymore.

Well Microsoft will still try. They are kind of dependent on third party to mask their lack of internal prowess and make their console SEEM better. Good planning. EA wants strong third party sales and Sony just proved they could accomplish it so I think this will be one of the last unless Microsoft either starts to pass Sony or they make it worth their while again.
