Yeah, Microsoft was also approached by Platinum Games for Scalebound as well. They knew MS was the only company who could afford the budget for such and endeavor and when it comes down it when you see MS internal abilities, they kind of need all the help they can get. When Sony's first and second party starts ramping up they will need all the help they can get. The library will need to be solid.

I have no problem with MS funding games that 3rd parties want to make because they know it's beyond their reach in terms of financial and or even developmental. Instead of buying up a bunch of Studios, and having them make all their games, and future work/content exclusive to one system.  

Remember the fear that MS was going to buy Minecraft, and make it a console/ PC exclusive. They only not did that but even pushed out the Vita version. which was a game that alot of vita owners wanted.  They also are'nt trying to keep the IP's Titanfall, and Sunset Overdrive should've, could've been on the PS4. But Sony wanted the IP, and in return missed out on some great games (titanfall is good, but it's suffers from no solo campaign mode).

I honestly like all these companies, there is just too many good games spread across all these consoles to stick your flag into any camp, and ignore what everyone else brings to  the table.


Minecraft was coming to Sony anyway, Microsoft just decided not to cut the chord on the business transaction which was already occuring beforehand. More money in their pocket. I am not really in any camp, Its just in my nature to state what I think about the current state of gaming affairs. I play both the One and the PS4, but I find that the One is just more eventful with the larger scale games right now. As I've said before, Microsoft always splurges in the begnning of the gen and then because of a lack of IP's just sticks to what they have whereas Sony can rely on new IP's built every generation. Big difference, but I like where Microsoft is headed right now.
