MS is going to have to supplement the lost sales of the game. Its just as easy as that. They are desperate which is why they are so willing.

I'm not an expert on this, but if Microsoft supplemented Crystal Dynamics with the money they could've gotten on PS4, would the X1 sales numbers be enough to justify the investment?

I mean, Crystal Dynamics would have profit, but would Microsoft turn a profit from the exclusivity deal?

 Let me just put it this way....Square was complaining when the game sold six million copies. It hasn't even sold two million between the 360 and the Xbox One while the game has sold almost 2.7 million on the Playstation 3 and 4 combined. The high sales of this game was a group effort amongst five platforms. Putting it on one platform is going to demand a lot of cash out of MS. 

Lets just say this...I hope they profit or else they could go under this gen for sure. This is too big a risk. Crytek almost went under making Ryse exclusive to MS and now they want to bring it to other platforms. This should've been their first decision in the first place.
