| Machiavellian said: Maybe its jut me but this does not look like a deal MS would be going to SE to cash grab. I am wondering if there was a pitch for a console partner to step in and help with development for exclusive rights. If exclusive is on the table, it would seem foolish for MS to turn it down for such a established franchise. |
I doubt it. Square needs money. Multiplat profits cannot be replaced, MS has money and the silver though so they did convince square to bring FFXV and Kingdom Hearts to the Xbox One. They got SE to turn against exclusivity and then turn back against their stance again with Tomb Raider. They have them wrapped around their finger. Game will sell 2.5-3 M mil at the most or 1.5 M at the least. MS is going to pay for the rest.
