| Mr Puggsly said: I dont know why people are so worked up about this. The series isnt in danger. MS likely covered the risks financially of going exclusive. Why else would it go exclusive? Worst case scenario, this game will be on GwG and PS Plus about 2 years from now so milions of people play it and see this game is fucking great. |
Some people have a trouble seeing this...

Because they got paid based on a number of factors, and one thing they factored in were expected sales. (Plus some more to make it worthwhile.) These sales however are likely much lower than they imagined. And there's no guarantee that it's going to sell well on PS4 and PC 6-12 months later either. |
But you don't know expected sales and we certainly don't know the digital numbers. Digital wasn't really a factor on launch titles when this hit 360.
These sales probably are lower than expected but MS likely takes the hit on that. Hence, unless MS is willing to take the risk then it isn't worthwhile for Square Enix.
MS apparently paid Rockstar $50 million for timed exclusivity of GTAIV DLC but it had to be paid back I assume with sales of the DLC. We don't know what MS paid for Tomb Raider, but clearly MS takes risks on big name titles.
For the record, late PC and PS3 have been very successful. So Rise of the Tomb Raider will likely do fine on platforms later on as well.

Selling so low and fracturing the user base means that a future Tomb Raider 3 will sell even less and who is going to cover the expenses then? Long term is much better to have a healty franchise than having the expenses of one game payed by someone else, it should be pretty obvious. |
Before Tomb Raider 3 releases Square Enix will make sure millions of people have this via GwG, PS Plus, Steam deals, etc.
The series is in no danger and long as they keep making great games.

So that means that square shot themselves in the foot by making rotr one year exclusive on the bone
REQUIESCAT IN PACE
I Hate REMASTERS
I Hate PLAYSTATION PLUS
LOL at these comments. I'm not saying it did great but it did far from terrible considering games that where launched around the same time. You want to see terrible numbers for a sequel then look up the numbers for Wii Fit U.
Well I wasn't expecting such low numbers even with Fallout release 😩 Bad move by SE and MS but oh well, it's business and thing can go wrong.
Suck tho, I've been playing the game lately and it really is one of the best, if nit the best, adventure game I've played. Developers did fantastic work with it. I hope it'll have legs and do good sales on playstation.
| Versus_Evil said: Im more worried we've just seen the death of a franchise, next year it will launch against another plethora of big titles and honestly i dont blame PS4 owners who decide not to pick up a year old and probably full price port. I dont see the PS4/PC crowed making up the numbers to an acceptable level. /Slow clap, welldone MS. I just hope developers see this and think twice about selling out. |
That point when devs don't think twice and please the money Gods. They should try preponing the release on PS4.
CD should feel gutted. MS assumed it would be a system seller and it didn't even sell itself.
It's an utter failure. Hopefully PS4 and PC can save the day and the franchise can live on.
