MS is the publisher of the game. what is so hard to understand. I enjoy how everyone needs to throw there 2 cents into a clear cut comment, and spin it. Do I think MS will show up as the publisher on the Sony versions? No I dont, just like we all know MS owns Minecraft, but Sony is listed as the publisher for those versions. 

Im not commenting anymore on this, it has become redundant.

The same thing happened with Forza 6. It was around #45 when it launched and it was never higher.

It's been known for a while that MS are publishers. But it's silly to presume that this game needed MS's money and "help" with development. The game is coming off the back of the hugely successfull 2013 reboot which by now has sold almost 9M. The deal is in place because SE saw a chance to maximise profit.

It's funny because some people were convinced it wasn't coming to PS4 because they held to much weight to what Greenberg said. Again probably said to mislead because people caught on to Spensers carefully places words of "Exclusive this holiday" at Gamescon '14. Also MS probably didn't have any direct involvement in development because I couldn't see it coming to PS4 if they did and at the minimum the PS4 version wouldn't of been announced until after launch of the Xbox One version.

I'm not misunderstanding anything, I'm agreeing with you while correcting/extending the definition of YOUR slight misunderstanding. Spencer himself said MS is the publisher of the Xbox One/360 versions, he says that in part of the interview that you posted. Just because I offer a more in-depth explanation (a correct one btw) doesn't mean you have to be offended.

In all fairness, you're earlier post made it sound like MS weren't publishing the game at all. It's just a misunderstanding.

And Forza 6 didn't sell well, it's obvious that Tomb Raider is going to be overlooked, sucks about the release date. I wonder if it was SE decision or Microsofts.

Ok so for the exclusiveness we already know.

We can't be sure of how much MS paid, that is undisclosed, but why would you think MS have paid for most of the development to have 1 year exclusiviness? Square have several FF and KH exclusive to PS4. So Capcom isn't the only one.

PS4 - 5 bundles, 4 in the top 100 (Plus Standalone)
XB1 - 15 bundles, 6 in the top 100

I could have sworn the Star Wars bundle was out of stock but I think I've confused the release date with a restock date LOL.

Now let's see the plummet after the Gears promotion ends.
