| Faelco said: Are they THAT stupid ? Really ? They just killed the XOne release... Fallout and Halo this Holiday, and then TR cheaper and maybe better on PC early 2016. You don't have a PC or a One ? Take it on PS4 in a year with the cheaper definitive edition, and enjoy Uncharted while you're waiting. But who will buy the Xbox One version, and even more, who will buy the Xbox One for this game now ? You don't announce this months before the XOne release.... |
It's probably not going to make the kind of sales that would justify a year's worth of lost sales on the PS4 to Crystal Dynamics, but the game still would have been competing with Uncharted 4, which would be no comparison at all to the typical Playstation consumer.
I would be surprised if that wasn't a factor with the decision to make TR a one year XBO exclusive.
Plus, figure the exclusive deal was very likely made before it became apparent that the PS4 would become the platform of choice by a landslide.
Still, TR fills a different niche genre on the XBO, and the franchise has regained some clout with the successful reboot, so I don't think it's going to tank on the XBO. There will be XBO consumers who want to play it first on their console.
