Why do a timed exclusive for Tomb Raider

S.T.A.G.E. said:

Final Fantasy was going to be exclusive to the PS3...not the PS4. Its obvious Microsoft was able to squeeze through the contract because the contract of exclusivity was for a specific platform.This leads me to believe one of two things.

1) Square could not complete the game in time for the PS3's gen thus voiding the FF Versus contract and thus voiding the contract.

2) Microsoft paid Square to drag out the duration of the contract until expiration while feeding them money, thus making the game the development drag out into next gen territory and no longer being apart of the Nova Cyrstallis Universe and officially becoming FFXV.

 

As for Sony not having the money to moneyhat, you're right.....Sony put their money where their mouth is...first party. MS should try it.

No, Final Fantasy XV was going to be PS4 only but Sony couldn't cough up the money to do so.

There was no "contract" and Microsoft isn't some evil being squeezing through anything. You act like Microsoft is some evil company out to ruin everyone's lives while Sony is the knight in shining armor, and this narrative is very popular on the internet.

MS is doing fine with first/second party games.
