We have all heard that Sony is getting Star Wars: Battlefront marketing rights but what is perplexing is that EA is the publisher of the game and relations between the two companies have been quite sour(EA skipped Titanfall on PS4, Sony declined EA's subscription service on PS4 etc). One forum member suggested that it was Disney(owners of the Star Wars IP) that decided it go to Sony simply due to the much bigger worldwide userbase and dominating sales. Disney essentially has much more pull over Star Wars than EA does. I am wondering whether Sony allowing the use of Spiderman in the upcoming Avengers movie(Disney owns Marvel but Sony owns Spiderman film property, weird) and in exchange Disney offered them Star Wars Battlefront(either as a free exchange or not)? Battlefront for any console maker is a huge deal considering it will tie-in with the upcoming movie which has been massively hyped and will easily break the billion dollar box office barrier so I'm wondering how Sony managed this considering EA have not been warm to Sony(or have been very buddy-buddy with MS). Any thoughts?
