Ok now I am confused. Are you saying that neither this, or Tomb Raider, can be described as a money hat, as we have no conclusive evidence of what incentives were offered in either case?

Hmmm...did you not read the link? Here's another. I'm not sure what else one can make of: "we have a deal", "it has a duration", "we needed something to compete with Uncharted". With the PS4 being the global market leader, what incentive would Microsoft have for Square, outside of money? That's where the suggestion comes from. 

In the case of these games in Japan, there's nothing that indicates the same.

I did read the link, and had read it before. It does not say what you want it to say.

What we do have is similarities in the rapid post-show removal of marketing materials from a rival's website. As you agreed previously, clearly a deal of some sort has been made in both cases. All that will vary is the degree of incentive involved. The amounts differ, the principles are identical. As many point out above, few Xbox One owners will be affected. But affected they will be.
