true but you also have to understand that xb1 isn't xb360 where it had a good marketshare almost everywhere thus investing in japanese games on xb360 made more sense back then that it's now. "play it first on ps4" can mean a lot of things that it shouldn't be use as a 100% confirmation (DQX1 ring a bell?, the game is coming to ps4 with NX in mind). Thing is ps4 is killing xb1 everywhere except US, so if FF15 and KH3 flopped hard on xb1 because that american audiencie didn't pick it up, you can expect ff7 remake exclusive for the single reason of making sense than anything else. japanese games on xb1 are still unproven as the only games that we have is FF type 0 and even though it's not a mainline game, it might give an indication that japanese fans aren't on the console, hence why some might think FF15 and KH3 might be the real indicator.

If marketshare was the issue the game wouldn't be multiplat. Tomb Raider is still exclusive for a year. By thr time it hits playstation, barely anyone will want to play it late on thr ps4 because the holiday hype for the one will be quite large in the states. xbox one is still a threat to the ps4 in the states even though it's losing in the world. Microsoft doesn't need to win the world but they cannot lose the states. As for FFVII, it's coming after the pS4 exclusivity ends. I'm playing it on ps4 anyway just like I am playing tomb raider on the one. You can't get screwed by either company in their timed exclusive war if you own both consoles.
The one has fourth quarter on lock though. Backwards compatibility, revamped 60fps gears of War with halo and Tomb Raider? Sony had most of the year but they've certainly lost fourth quarter. MS has lost three quarters worth of battles. It wouldn't hurt to win one.

Let pretend that TR exclusivity situation wasnt announced before the game released on xb1, I dont know about you but if a game that was announced as an exclusive and later it was announced as atimed exclusive before the release of the game, then something isnt right, if anything that is an indication that SE are worried about the game sales, and as someone already told you, TR audience isnt the same as ff7 remake so I dont know why you keep bringing that game up when in fact we have other evidence like DQXI that says otherwise and that game is similar to FF audience.
Dont know why the sales of the 4th quarter has to do with the ff7 possible xb1 version. Xb1 won last 4th quarter as well and nothing change after that . Ps4 keeps dominating outside US and regained the league in US. Also it doesnt change the fact that if the japanese games audience is on ps4, then no amount of halo, TR or forza will bring them over to xbox, I wonder why, perhaps because JRPG being completely different to those games might have something to do with it?.
Look I am not saying its not coming to xb1, I am saying its reasonable to think its not 100% sure.

Lets take into account that TR exclusivity wasnt announced before the game released on Xbox One? Ok. Halo is still the most popular exclusive shooter and the first game generally is a console mover. You will see in october. Tomb Raider is only there to support the dominance of the lineup. Halo will be doing all of the work. Fourth quarter sales in America brings in more money than any other quarter of the year because its the season when people are most willing to spend. Microsoft looks like they are going two for two.for two.
Sony did the exclusivity deal with FF7 to keep the game away from Microsoft. Its the only reason they would just like Microsoft. The are one anothers primary competition. This has been going on for years and should be not new to you. These tactics are quite common place. COD DLC switching hand? Activision now supporting Sony more than Microsoft? EA siding with Microsoft and getting all of the extra deals? Come on. This is why we learn from history. The writing was always on the wall for you. "Coming first to playstation". What would the secondary option to Playstation be for Final Fantasy....and seriously...if you say PC or Wii U i'm going to have to seriously start questioning things.

or NX? like DQXI ? seriously I still dont understand having 4th quarter on lock or the selling potential of halo or the amount of money have to do with me saying that the japanesegames audience might not be on xbox thus making a port for it a waste of money. let see if a game like batman AK sold much better on ps4, do you have an idea how big the ratio will be for a JRPG?. I am not JRPG fan and I think xb1 will win 4th quarter but I think it wont change anything if the japanese audience arent there. the only thing that you have aas an argument that the game might arrived on xb1 is the relationship between them, if that is so, good luck.
