its not that far fetched when you think of it. EA probably makes about $35-$40 in revenue from each sold game. now if in the first 6 months they can sell 3M copies of the game on the PS4 and 2M on the XB1. They can just take what would be around a $50M check from MS and the marketing bonus. For go the $105M-$120M they stand to make on the PS4 and just make it a 6 month timed exclusive. at the end of the day, they will still sell at least 1.5M-2M copies in the PS4 six months later.
And don't forget, they still make money from the game selling on the XB1.
none of this would master though. by the time this game is coming out the PS4 will have a really big global lead. an insurmountable one.
