In yet another horrible business decision, Square enix has decided to make Rise of the tomb Raider an xbox one exclusive.
So let's look at this decision. The first game sold 6.5 million across 5 platforms. This was not the number that they wanted for the reboot of the franchise. So now, to remedy this, they're releasing it on one console? And at that the console with the fewest number of units sold. This decision literally only benefits Microsoft (which I think it was a good choice by Mircrosoft).
So how is this so horrible for them? This game probably would have seen a lot of success on 3 consoles. But now Square has decided to be bought out, for likely less than they'd make for releasing on all consoles, to be one console and alienate over half of their fan base? This in no way benefits them except in the short term. Now this game won't live up to sales expectations again, and over half the fans of the series will feel like they've been kicked in the balls. This further proves that Square isn't capable of making good business decision.
Sorry if a similar thread has already been made. I didn't see one, and I feel like this needed to be said.
