I'm asking again. Can someone explain to me why this is such a big deal?
It is a deal, yes, but it's not that big. This game isn't Titanfall or Final Fantasy. It's probably not even a Destiny alpha. It will sell decently but not too much. Wouldn't be surprised if it even trails behind Watch Dogs.

Is That particular game really such a big deal? I mean it's not like MS bought the IP.

Feel free to accuse me of damage control but I honestly don't get it.
For the record I played the last game and enjoyed it thoroughly(on PC).

I agree I dont think this will have a big impact on sales for the One. People (Including myself) are mostly shocked that MS was willing to spend so much money (Persumably) to get this exclusivty and that Crystal Dynamics and all there financial drama with the franchise decided to agree to this deal and basically miss out on the biggest console on the market.

I guess it was a good deal for SE as they can now probably be sure to make it profitable. I'm always for SE making profit :)
