"he said. “This whole thing that, like, we just somehow found something that Sony fans love and said, ‘Hey, if we just drop millions of dollars then they can’t go play the game.’ That’s not how it played out.”

So what other reason could there possibly be for making the deal on a game that was going to be on XB1 anyway? oh right... dropping millions of dollars so sony fans cant go and play the game.

If you read the whole interview you he actually tells you.  You do not have to believe it but he does give you an answer.  He even says that they were approached by SE with this deal.  Seems stupid for MS if you have the money not to take it especially if it fills a gap in your lineup.

If you read the whole interview, he actually spins a lot.

So it was something Square Enix approached you about to see whether you would be up for it, essentially?

Phil Spencer: You've got to remember, we talk all the time. '09 was the first time we had them on our E3 stage. They were on our stage this year. They were on our stage last year. We've worked with them for many years. So it's not even like a conversation that's new to us. We've got an ongoing relationship with Crystal around this franchise.

 

I love one of the comments on eurogamer:
