I hope that Crystal Dynamics learns a lesson from this!

It took five platforms for the Tomb Raider Reboot to break even. It shouldve been obvious that making it exclusive to two platforms would hurt it let alone the fact that it launched so close to Fallout and the other major titles.

Nope, it became profitable before the remaster. Look it up.

Anyhow, its unlikely Tomb Raider will be a profitable endeavor for MS nor do I believe that was expected. But thats okay, its a great game. Maybe it will have decent legs.

It's not really a question if this game was ever going to be successful on Xbox. S/E needed the money, because apparently, MS offered a crap ton of it if S/E was willing to gamble away the IP. Figured the game's role on the platform would end up with it being a freebie.

All I can say is, if you think the game looks great, and you don't want an Xbox One, just be patient and support the game when it comes to other platforms, it may be the last we'll see of Lara for a while. There's really nothing else that can be said anymore.

I would say I hope your learn your lesson square but this is after they gave the 360 many exclusives in Japan. They'll never learn.

Microsoft probably paid enough to cover development so profit wise they will make plenty.

Tomb raider 2013 definitely made a profit especially when the remaster sold over a million on ps4 alone!

But the damage here is done long term.

We live in the real world. Square lives in the MS Purse suite.


Square lives off of anyones purse. I guess you forgot the part where Sony paid them for timed exclusivity to the Final Fantasy 7 reboot.

They were complaining about making their money back until they made the definitive versions, so technically it took five platforms.

There is no lesson to be learned for Square because this shouldn't be a surprise to them at all. We knew about this all along from the very beginning so how could Square not have known about this lol. They just wanted MS money that's all.

Sadly this was there own doing. This exclusivity for such a mainstream franchise was always going to hurt the franchise. Will hold back final judgement until hard numbers go in.

This could go for anyone who decides to strip one game from the mainstream, especially if they go just towards being PS4 only or timed.
