Tomb Raider Xbox exclusivity: Square knew it would disappoint fans - decision wasn’t easy

Remember how Square Enix talked about the original Tomb Raider's sales and how they did not meet their expectations? One could easily assume that Square Enix were a bit worried about RoTTR and looked for someone to help fund the game and publish it for them. Microsoft came along and helped them by funding it and publishing it, and in return got a 1 year console-timed exclusivity for their system.

Street Figher V probably wouldn't have released for years and in looking to release it sooner they looked after someone to help fund the game to finish it for them. Along came Sony and helped them by funding it and in return got console-exclusive and it will release on PC.

Also how would you in any way know if SFV did not exist as a game? You wouldn't. Just like Tomb Raider, SFV was probably in development and they looked for somebody else to help finish funding it since they were uncertain if they had the funds to develop it themselves. Of  course this is just me speaking, none of us will ever know. Out of all the franchises Capcom has do you really think Street Fighter would be one of them they would stop making games of? Like I said, Sony funding SFV only made the game come out sooner, if it weren't for them funding it the game would probably still be only a few years away.

The situations are exactly the same, I don't know how you can't see this.

The bolded part.....finish

SFV was not in development.

The only way what you are saying is true if Yoshinori Ono would have been publicly spreading lies.

 

I must say you have pretty wide net to clump together different circumstances.
