There is no lesson to be learned for Square because this shouldn't be a surprise to them at all. We knew about this all along from the very beginning so how could Square not have known about this lol. They just wanted MS money that's all. |
There's more to the deal than just Microsoft's money. Originally square and Ms thought that uncharted would be releasing at the same time. I'd imagine the idea was to have a showdown, where the internet was awash with articles about each competing with each other. That's basically free advertising. And then, well, uncharted got delayed, and the whole scheme fell through

I see what you're saying here, but so do you think sales of TR would've been better or worst if Uncharted didn't get delayed?
I think TR's fate was sealed regardless when it was being released around the same time as Fallout4, Halo5, CoD BO3. It's quite possible that Sony smart enough to delay it because surely it would've done poorly being in the middle of that cross fire, which also benefited ND and giving it more time to fine-tune the game. MS probably had a contract to release it this year or else MS should've delayed it to the same time as Uncharted 4 if MS wanted that showndown again.
