I think a deal was done around the time of the 2013 release of the last game, before PS4 and Xbone released and before anyone knoew of PS4's success. MS pay for some of the development and they get time exclusive based on potential. That potential may not be worth the cost for SquEnix in the long run if sales of the game when/if it does come to PS4 do not meet the targets they want (less hype, not in Christmas period etc). But a great deal for MS no doubt. |
I think it is a recent deal, otherwise they would have mentioned it at E3. Maybe one of their other projects was pushed back from holiday 2015 so they had to plug the gap
