Yah because EA is the only "company"/"business" out there obessed with money right? :)

It is not like any normal company after all!

They would've made more money sticking with the PS3 and PS4 as well later on but MS paid them at the right time. No game was made for the PS3 and PS4. Fear of competitiondoes that to you. 

This is just pure speculation at this point... Vice V. himself said that Microsoft offered them servers and resources which is why they went with them. Without that, we could not even have Titanfall today.

People can argue and assume a lot of things about Microsoft, EA and even Respawn but it is very comon to have small startup striking a deal with a big one to be able to get their first game out. So from this perspective, without Microsoft we are not even sure if Titanfall would exist at all...

That's just PR. They just didn't want to come right out and say that they thought Xbox would be the Marketleader and they would make the significantly more profit on the XB1 then the PS4. Its a reasonable decision formed from reasonable expectations, but clearly if that what he said it would have just been fuel to the PR Fire.

You're right that as a small start up it makes sense that they would focus on one platform. But there is nothing magical about Azure that is critical to TitanFall's existence. Hell, Valve is more responsible than Microsoft, because its developed in the Source Engine, and even then they could've just developed it in CE3/4, Unity 3/4, or UE 3/4.
