This is all speculations. We dont know what MS did with Sqaure. All we know is that Sqaure said MS is helping fund the development. No different to what Sony did with SFV. Reason why TR is probably coming out on all platforms is based off how much money they spent on it. Sony obviously spent more on SFV and we are talking about MS, there not picky on where there games go. Theres rumours claiming Rare's Replay might be coming to a Nintendo Platform.  

The more money spent on a game the more chance the game gains more quality. MS helped fund it which helps Square and Crystal produce RoTR. These inside deals Sony, MS and Nintendo make are complicated. They will never tell the world the truth behind it.

At the end of the day, both Sony and MS help fund the development of both games which leads to some exclusive rights except Sony keeps SFV and MS enjoyed a years exclusivness.

Why do i care? I dont, i game on PC, i get both anyway. My point is gamers are blinded by what they read and how it presents itself and not looking at the core of the subject. Sony might have said it in a nicer way then MS but its all the same thing. Just like Bayonetta 2 on WiiU.

Please add in digital, as the game didn't outsell the XB1 version in total.

MS is not picky about where their games go?  Why did they bother to purchase the Gears IP when Gears 4 could have gone multiplat?  Why are no MS games other than Minecraft (only because it was already released multiplat) on anything other than X1 or WINDOWS store)?  Hell look at FF14, the reason that game is not on X1 is because they would not allow a shared network for cross play with PSN.  And as for Rare Replay, until it happens that is nothing but PR BS to look good.  Any of their other IPs that went multiplat they never owned and therefore had notl control over to begin with (example Mass Effect).

Look we get it, you hate Sony.  Some of your arguments are simply laughable though.  Though I will agree with you on one thing.  Sony made sure SFV would not go to X1, MS did not do the same with RotTR beyond being a timed exclusive.

Is PC not a gaming platform any more? I could have sworn SFV was coming to PC on the same day it launched on PS4. I dunno, it seems like some people consider PC a gaming platform when it suits their argument and not a gaming platform when it doesn't suit their argument. And people claim PC is a MS platform when it suits and claim it's not a MS platform when it doesn't suit.

I wonder what you call it when a company puts money into a game and that game releases on a competitor's platform. 'Cause it certainly ain't moneyhatting.

No one is dodging questions, you seem, to avoid what Square said. MS helped fund the development of RoTR. Exclusive deals happen all the time and it all goes under how much they spend for it. Clearly MS spent less then Sony to make it a pure exclusive. Sony got in early and made sure SFV was never coming to other consoles while MS got in a little later and made it a 1 year deal. Sony just said it better on the internet and gamers think they did no wrong.

Both games were coming out regardless, there is no difference to what they have done. They both gave money to 3^rd party devs and both made exclusive deals.

Let’s look at it like this, 1 franchise with a history of being a big multiplat game, gets a permanent exclusive tag for one platform which is ok but the other game with a similar history gets a 1 year deal and its wrong?

The logic on these threads amaze me.

This happens plenty of times if it involves Xbox One, some choose to ignore you guys for obvious reasons, I'm not even surprise the OP omitted "digital" in the title of the thread.

It amazes me how ppl will always defend any deal sony does blindly and bash Microsoft for doing any deals . The logic is such bs

Made all the more depressing by the knowledge that Squenix will likely learn nothing from this venture.
