If it wasn't a system seller before, a good deal of franchise fans will buy an Xbox for it. It won't be a Halo-style seller, but it makes a point for Microsoft - to have a game, exclusive to their machine, from a genre dominated by PlayStation.

I get both sides of this.

I suspect this is a $100 Million+ deal.  Roughly speaking, I think they must sell 1 Million + consoles to break even on such a deal.

There's no way 1 Million people will buy XB1 for TR.

I can see 1 million folks buying it. If nothing more, that at least.

Over 1 Million XB1 owners will buy would buy TR, but I don't think 1 Million folks will now buy an XB1 to play TR.

E.g. Titanfall a more high profile console seller, only boosted sales by ~150k in March (combined with a price drop) and XB1 sales baseline dropped after that.  TR will boost less than that.
