It's definitely a win for Windows Phone.

tbh if it was coming to vita, it would have come to windows phone anyway. Even if it wasnt, 2.5bn still isnt worth it.

No, you don't understand. Microsoft has just made Windows Phone the place to one of the most popular mobile games ever. Not only that, but they have secured a game that has ingrained itself on nine different platforms. That in itself is a boon, and the influence that comes with it is certainly worth a lot of money. Whether or not it is $2.5 billion worth of money is yet to be seen.
