I remember all the times TR sold like crap with it's former titles and spinoffs and then I realized the franchise is still around.

I feel people are making this out to be the absolute objective death knell due to it being MS and being very easy to attach a stigma towards, of course nothing ill would be said if Sony did the same, likely for anything at all.

I can't wait to see it still live on though because it lived on through a lot more crap and while it does continue to live I'll be sure to document the stigmas for future reference (the kind of crow that does need to be served cold).

Says who?

If a franchise that it is mostly related to the Xbox platform is money hatted by Sony, and then the game flops so hard that dont even chart, i would be the first one to complain.

This practice has to end. Keep the Multi Platform games, well...Multi Platform.

P.D. Unless the game wouldnt have come out if it wasnt for the support of Sony/Micrososft/Nintendo (Bayonetta 2, Street Fighter V, etc).

Says me because I've been around the net enough to know that hardly anyone speaks ill of Sony deals, this gen especially, you don't have to take my pov but I've seen enough to know that this gen and the last, whatever Xbox had done/does in terms of any sort of deal is mostly frowned upon a lot of the time, even when Nintendo did the Bayo 2 deal the amount of scorn they got for such a deal and yet next to no scorn for the SFV deal regardless of differences, it just speaks voulumes that whatever deal Sony makes is somehow objective and subjetively good.

"If a franchise that it is mostly related to the Xbox platform is money hatted by Sony, and then the game flops so hard that dont even chart, i would be the first one to complain."

That's a very ultra specific goal to meet by the sounds of it, how likely is Sony to do this?.

I agree though, multiplat games should continue to stay as such but be on more than just two platforms.

what exclusive deals? most Street Fighter Fans are on PS4 now anyways. Thats why it hasnt bothered anyone. 

And most of these so called Sony deals are decisions by the publishers to avoid the Xbox Ones devolopement cost for a port, why should Square Enix for example port over Star Ocean 5 or Nier Automata when FF0 and Tombraider sales are poor as it is now. Even MGS5 sold 5 times less on X1 over the PS4 and thats why you wont see Kojimas next game for XOne.
