No way to know without knowing everything involved content wise and everything MS paid/kicked back to EA.

I see people constantly talking about how EA expected the Xbone to outsell PS4.. when did they say that? They can have internal projections that make the Xbone deals viable that don't have to entail Xbone selling more. Price difference and launch territories pretty much ruled out the Xbone selling more.

Directly from EA month...

They made the deal because they thought Xbone will sell more.

 

 " think you should assume that we made that decision when it was back a few years ago when we decided to go exclusive," 

"We had some forecast at that time from where we thought both Xbox and PlayStation would be and that's what we based our decision on. I think we're still feeling very comfortable with that,"

 

I assume by "EA month" you mean "EA mouth" and i also assume then thay you didnt read the article because it says nothing from EA about Xbone dominating. Thats just the website putting their own spin and interpretation on it.

i mean, if their forecast called for the Xbone to "dominate", why would they, as you just quoted them saying, feel very good about it?

So no then, EA themselves never said that. Thanks for confirming for me.
