Really not understanding the Op point. So are we to believe that Ready at Dawn, Capcom and From Software all third party developers is an admission from Sony that they cannot compete with MS first party studios. You received the same games from Sony pretty much every console cycle just like MS and Nintendo.
In the last 3 years, Sony has dropped 5 1st party studios. Running 1st party studios is not the be all or end all for any of these console makers and it can definitely be a money pit if those studios are not producing hits. At this point in time, MS actually have more 1st party studios then Sony.
So it seems MS Studios is publishing this Tomb Raiders game. Seems like MS is funding development for this game and who is to say it was not pitched to them by CD to both MS and Sony and MS came through just like they did with Titanfall.
Its really funny that gamers continue to wake up and find out that the video game business is a business. A lot of studios get tired of being in the red, wondering if they will have funding to complete a project or even start one up.
