The Release Date was decided by Capcom and not by Sony, the Reason they released so soon was for the Pro Players to play Capcom's Pro Coup.

I never said Sony decided it. What I said was Capcom had plans for SFV and Sony's checks put those plans into higher priority. That turned out to not be such a good thing for the game and the franchise. I am aware of why they released when they did. And that was a terrible idea.

It is Funny when you guys compare how much money Tomb Raider will do on PS4, and make it seems that the Xbox One's Street Fighter Version would give the same money to Capcom as the Tomb Raider's PS4 Version will give to Square Enix, Anything Street Fighter sell on PS4 the Xbox One's Version would sell 1/3 or even less than that. Not even last generation Xbox 360 outsold PS3's numbers for fighting games and not even on USA(where it had 20+ Millions of Lead).

Except no one here has said SFV on Xbone would sell what the newest TR would sell. Or, at least I know I didn't say it, or imply it. So don't quote me with that stuff, please. That said, had Capcom taken their time and released a good Street Fighter, who knows what sales would have been. It's easy to point to a SF that had a lackluster reception and say sales would not have been any good. My point is without the exclusive deal, they could have released a superior game.

The Money Capcom lost with Xbox One is comparable with the Money Square Enix will lost because of a late port.

Nah, I disagree. You're underestimating how much revenue they'd lose from the Xbox crowd, and vastly overestimating how many PS4 owners won't buy Rise of the Tomb Raider because it's a "late port".
Again, this is assuming that instead of taking Sony's money and rushing out a meh SFV, they took their time with it and had a proper release. The ill effect of the SFV deal is not just the lost revenue, but the damage done to the brand. Especially in a time when fucking Mortal Kombat is seen as not just a good game but a value packed title.
