They wanted it out so people have time to prepare for the upcoming tournaments.
Sony doesn't own the IP and have no control over it. They partially funded the game, that's it, it doesn't mean they can tell Cap come what to do or when to release the game.
It is also an incredibly fun game so I am happy and thankful they partially funded it.
Apparently it's a good game now because it is "free" but before no one cared/ Same thing happened with Thief, all of a sudden it was an awesome game and a great offering even though it was in fact crap.

I said develop and publish but again these are all large investments that cost resources and money. Tearwax Unfolded is more than a remaster and has 50% more contenot among the other changes.
Their first party studios also co-develope these games. Sony Santa Monica for The Order and Sony Japan for Bloodborne.
Also don't ignore the fact that their first party studios released way more over the last 5 years and most are coming out this...
@Tob
Sony had MLB 16, Tearaway Unfolded, Bloodborne, The Order 1886, Until Dawn, DriveClub Bikes and technically paid for the development of PlanetSide 2. As for remasters they had Uncharted Collection and GOW 3 Remastered. For smaller titles they published Helldivers and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture.
As for Xbox One it has: Forza 6, Halo 5 and Tomb Raider which they partially funded. As for remasters or ports they has.GOW UE and Rare Replay. Smaller g...
Really the best combo. You are only missing out on 4 games in this case and half are Forza games. That is if you don't count remasters.
I am comparing Sony to the richest video game developer which happens to be Microsoft who make less games than Sony. If Sony was "broke" they wouldn't be making more games than Microsoft...
They invest in franchises people will buy. They are a business and like you said have zero control of what is in the game on release with the exception of The Order 1886.
I always shake my head when people say Sony is broke. They have billions upon billions of dollars, over 140,000 employees, $135 billion in assets and are worth $34 billion. They also develop and publish more games than Microsoft... They aren't broke, you are.
@u4one
You seem like you are disagreeing with me and then agree with me in your last paragraph... The reason they give for it being on Xbox One is because they are a small team.
@kiwi
It was free with PS+ like many other games. Doesn't mean Sony had an exclusive agreement...
Except there was no deal with Sony. People just assume that because it was console exclusive. There are plenty of console exclusives on PS4 that Sony was never involved in.
The people in here claiming Forza looks better than DriveClub really need to get their eyes checked. I'm not even joking you need to go see an optometrist. That or remove your fanboy goggles.
Not only does DriveClub have much better graphics but the weather effects are far superior as well.
What are these PS3 games you claim have better visuals? I'm thinking you are losing your vision as you age and may need glasses.
Hololens doesn't have much to do with Xbox and you don't need separate hardware to use it and it has its own processor.
@Frinker
One bad guy shouldn't ruin long years of success and it was a launch title of all things that was likely rushed.
@Frinker
Go check the long list of games that Mark Cerny has been involved with over the years. Some of the best games/franchises ever made are on that list.
You should really get Dark Cloud 2. Amazing game.
If you own the games why wouldn't you own the platform the games are playable on? Pretty pointless to keep games and not the console. You also bought those games knowing they weren't going to be playable on future platforms and it was never promised either.
