So, the costs to change the button prompts from X to A are overwelming, or they have to translante again and re-dub the XOne version ???... because you can´t do more than that with localization.

What button prompts? Those are already there in the other Xbox One versions of the game. I never mentioned that.

Distribution is costly if the product doesn't sell enough.

The publisher is in charge of localization, so Sony probably took care of Japanese dubbing and subtitling too. Localizing costs money.

Well, if Sony is realy bering all the localization cost it´s fair they get that exclusive... but preventing the "international" release in other languages is a little dick move.

PS: And I can assume it´s Ok to Microsoft secure Tomb Raider exclusivity if they are paying for developement and market?

The "international" release hasn't been prevented. You can import the English-only version from other countries, same as with PS4 Destiny.

I didn't say anything about the deal being OK or not, never presented it as a PS4 vs. Xbox One issue.
