Uncharted would have been mid-October, so it would have been fine. But Q1 next year is much better. It gets to shine all by itself.

No,no and no.Please checkyour facts.Square nor CD ever said that MS is funding the game or publishing it.Amazon has Square listed as the publisher and so does every other site.Stop giving MS credit for something that they did not do and admit that they just money hatted the game because of their lack of exclusive franchise ownership.

If MS funded the game in the way it sounds then it wouldnt be coming out on PS4 at all.

What it could mean is that SE was over budget and did a deal for timed exclusivity and then that helped pay for continued development... different angle to come from. :D

Definitely sounds like what happened, especially considering it took the next gen versions for the original to become profitable.  They probably shopped around timed exclusivity to Sony and MS.  Sony would have passed on it since the PS3+PS4 outsold the 360+XBO versions by so much it would have been wasted money.  MS needed more exclusives to pad out their line up this year, so jumped at the chance.  Of course, bad buzz and poor pre-order numbers led them to announce the PS4 version a year before it even launches.  Before the XBO version even launched.

Looks like PlayStation is still beating Xbox even with the deals and bundles. It's a bit tighter, but still looks like they have a decent lead. Will be interesting to see how desperate MS will get. Be even more interesting to see if it does them any good. There IS a point at which deals stop having the big effects they do early on.

Then I'll modify my statement. Microsoft is opposed to cross platform unless it's a 1st party game. We see 3rd party games like Final Fantasy XIV, Street Fighter V, and Rocket League not being on the XBO even though they are not PS4 exclusive.

If halo sales fell it might be selling like 50k in the US at retail each day.

You should also include steam hardware liek the steam link and other hardware that runs steam os. It would be interesting to see how it does compared to consoles.

Maybe the Street fighter angle was wrong, as Capcom is the only high profile company that will keep a game exclusive to consoles, but still release them  on PC. i.e Street fighter V for Sony, and dead Rising 3 for MS.

The point is, MS put more than marketing dollars behind it's exclusivity with Square Enix, This game could have been in the same boat as Shenmue 3 is, it needed more funding to be better than what they had. Square Enix has been spreading itself thin lately announcing alot of games/remakes this gen.  

As much as this game is synonomous with the Sony brand, Sony was not going to help fund a direct competitor to one of it's 1st party franchises. Sony has been using most of it's money to lock up exclusivity with the FPS group of games. Where they have been inconsistent at best in making an 1st party exclusive FPS. Look at their advertising, Destiny, Star Wars Battlefront, and COD BLOPS3 have seen more air time, then Until Dawn, Blood Borne, and the Order.
