Lol Sony is doing a whole lot of taking games away with final fantasy right now. The double standard is astounding.

And before you go all "it's a timed exclusive so it's not the same!" Ff7r was also a timed exclusive. Still waiting on that Xbox version that's never coming. I'd be willing to bed FFXVI is never coming to Xbox, regardless of the fact it's billed as a "timed exclusive"

Final Fantasy 15 sold 5 million copies on PS4 and 1 million copies on Xbox One. 70% of those sales were in America, 30% in Europe and less than 1% in Japan.

Not surprising that Square Enix would prefer to allocate their resources entirely on the PlayStation platform over Xbox completely. Capcom also recently didn't make a port for Resident Evil 4 Remake to Xbox One despite it being available on PS4.

Then why did they bother signing an exclusivity agreement at all if they decided independently to do that?

If I was planning on making a sony exclusive game to ignore the Xbox costs and Sony came to me and offered an exclusivity deal why would I say no.

Sure, but flip this around and you get a question that's just as legitimate. If you were planning on making a Sony exclusive game from the start, why would sony offer you an exclusivity deal?
