I think it will depend on the console race. Titanfall 2 supposedly won't come until 2017. A lot can happen between now and then. If the Xbone is still a viable console for MS and they aren't gearing up for next gen or something, sure, it could happen. If we're looking at another 8 year generation and the two consoles are still battling it out, I think that actually makes it harder for MS to make it worth EA's while.

The sales of TF will mean a lot too. If it sells 10 million on Xbone, it would take a hefty check from MS. If it sells quite a bit less, maybe EA takes a pure profit check from MS and leaves the franchise Microsoft exclusive.

I disagree with the logic expressed by some in here that EA just wouldn't want to make it exclusive if it got real big. All that means is the money MS would need to pony up would be that much higher. Offer enough and EA will take the money.

Ever heard of Gears of War and EPIC?  Not saying it is going to happen because i see this all extremely doubtful since Zampala seemed to want it to go multiplat but it isnt the first time MSFT has bought a big franchise off.

My belief is it will be multiplat on TF2 simply because Respawn will want a say in it(Unlike EPIC, respawn already has a publisher), but it also isnt out of the question as nothing in this industry ever is.

Does Respawn have anything to say about this? Its their child...

That would depend on the respective installed base of each console when it's released, if the PS4 keep selling at this pace the potential sales on the MS platforms will be too low by themselves, that will not be worth the investment. 

I magine they negotiate these contracts by paying for the expected revenue loss incured by not releasing on the other platform, if there are 20+ million PS4s out there when it's time to release Titanfall 2 it will cost MS much more than it did early on after the release of the new systems (also, the devs did not know for sure which one would sell more when they negotiated... however, the bad blood for MS probably helped EA get more money out of MS).

im sorry but what? your logic is the one making no sense.

 TitanFall is new IP, MS probably payed so much to almost cover up development and is obviously marketing it a lot from its own pocket. that eliminates a huge risk for EA with titanfall. it also kind of creates a marketing buzz, since its "exclusive" (meaning not on PS) you got people hating on it, and fanboys praising it to death. you already got people calling it GOTG on here, and you already got people praising non stop too. either way, people who troll it are still talking about it, and no publicity is bad publicity. remember the huge BF3 vs CoD back in 2011? it was all staged, EA kept comparing the two even though they knew they would fall short, result? CoD breaks records, but hey, BF3 also breaks BF records. people kept comparing the two shitting on CoD, but it just resulted in it selling more. 

but now, if TF sells like hot cakes (assuming that means around the 10M mark). that means the franchise is a success. and what ever game they make next, there wont be a huge risk with it. if you havent remembered, EA also has been eying that number 1 publisher in the FPS market, they said so openly since 2011. if they want that, they need to release on PlayStation. releasing on PS would also mean more money unless microsoft shells out hunders of millions or even half a billion. and it would be a huge loss for microsoft, it just isnt worth it.y ou also have to consider that if microsoft can shell out all this money, why havent it done so for Battlefield, Call of duty, GTA and fifa? its just not worth it for the publisher, they would make much more money being multiplatform. from sales and DLC. 

also, another form of marketing would be when TF2 is announced on PS4, the internet would flip, resulting in more people talking about it. also, we have EA's own words of the rotation of its FPS games, it will be BF, battlefront, and TF. why on earth would they keep one game exclusive to xbox while the others arent? 

anyways, IF TF2 is exclusive, then xbox fans should go spit on microsofts face, because microsoft would have spent hunders of millions to keep a game away from PS that is coming to xbox either way, and could have spent those hunders of millions making new games instead. 

Epic isnt a publisher though. EA are, and one of the biggest too. 

I doubt EA will allow that. But, money can do things.

1- its not up to them

2- the money they would have to pay would be waaaay to much, and not worth it. why didnt MS money hat CoD or BattleField?

I think they will atleast try and get it

It all depends on what EA projects a PS4 version would earn. If they think it would move 3M copies on Playstation then that would be something like $75M going to EA.

That's a lot of money. Considered from an isolated perspective, that would certainly be a loss for Microsoft. However, what would Microsoft lose if they let it go multi-platform? It would cost the XO a significant degree of future market-share? If Titanfall doesn't sell super-great then EA would probably welcome the security of an exclusive deal. If it does sell super-great, it really pushes Microsoft into a corner.

Of course, we're probably not talking about straight-up cash changing hands. Microsoft would likely put a lot of the value into advertising consideration. That's important. On-screen advertising is something console manufacturers can use as leverage. A deal would likely contain a lot of provisions like that.

Another thing to note is that I think some companies regretted exclusivity deals last gen. I actually thought EA was one of them with Mass Effect, to be honest--though, now that I think about it, it did allow them to sell old games at $60 once again.
