''starting'' it is more based on my hunch that Microsoft buying exclusivity to a multiplatform franchise like TombRaider probably triggered an internal reaction in sony, but of course I don't know this for sure. How often do we have specific franchises shifting exclusivity to platforms on such an airy basis?Capcom came to sony for what? To save a title they would otherwise be unable to make without additional financial aid?  So nothing like Bayonetta 2 clearly. The fact that street figter IV sold 3m units on 360 makes me question the whole thing to be honest, but I'll take your word for it.

Either way this obviously warrants a negative reaction from some fans when they've been led to see the franchise as multiplaform for the better portion of the last decade (across playstation and xbox) so lets not fool ourselfs with the ''Nothing to hate'' rhetoric. 

Um, you described exactly what happened with Bayonetta 2. They needed aid to complete the game, in both cases. As for what you call "rhetoric", I call being realistic. What are you going to accomplish hating deals like this? The one who shouldn't be fooled is you. Your input won't change practices that are generations old.

Should have been more clear I was actually being sarcastic here, are we to believe that Capcom couldn't afford to make to another street fighter game without sony co-developing? A 2.5D fighting game that sells in the millions and is garunteed to make its money back. If this is actually the situation I would be dumbfounded lol

And secondly, its not rhetoric I'm spouting its personal sentiment. I dislike it. I have no problems with exclusives but when you muddy the lines with specific franchsies I find it very anti-consumer. If there was reasoning I could respect, then that would be a different story but I've yet to see that.
