So Phil Spencer lies but the EA guy is telling the truth..get out of here.

Spenny is obviously doing a good job as I see more and more hate from the Sony brigade.

Anyway this game ,wouldn't have been finished if it wasn't for Microsofts input, that's why it was a console exclusive .

Don't believe me? Go look it up.

Nobody was able to forecast Don Mattrick's meltdown.

Yeah, I have to admit, even as a 100% PlayStation supporter that I was a bit nervous coming into the 8th gen. Microsoft had gained a lot of momentum in the 7th gen, and seemed like they had all the cards. Then, XBO early media breifing about the next gen living room did not sit well with Xbox gamers (Which, honestly I thought was dumb, and applaud Microsoft and Sony's efforts at bringing all media on the TV to powerful gaming machines). Then everyone relised that XBO was quite a bit weaker than PS4, and things strated to slide even more. However, the nail in the coffin was, by far, Don Mattrick's infamous, "if you don't like our XBO policies, then we have a product on the market that is for you, and it is called X360." As they would say in God of War, By The Gods Don.

I think it was quite easy to see why companies would have been backing MS going into gen 8, but that 2 month span between E3 and Gamescom will haunt MS and the Xbox for years to come.

For people living in US or UK,it might have looked like Xbox would win even more markedshare this gen,but if you live in continental europe the picture is completely different. Continenal Europe was and will be PS territory for the forseeable future. When i read a few articles at the beginning of this gen,about EA and other companies belived Xbox would demolish PS this gen,i thought they were nuts thinking that.

Nah Matrix did bad job since he got hate from his own fanbase :P I can only speak for myself, but my I'm very happy of what Xbox has become since Phil took control and things seem to be going in the right direction. This hate is a bit ridiculous really, some people are reading way too much into everything he says. Most of this bashing is just based on their assumptions of how exclusive deals are made, what are microsofts actual plans, what Phil is really saying etc etc.

For the topic at hand, is this a proof that MS never moneyhatted anything? That EA chose Titanfall to be on Xbox one because of predicted marketshare? Yeah I bet that EA guy would say that MS paid alot $$$$ if that was the case...
