I feel like becoming so old when reading articles with information that is not totally correct and should be known by veterans..

Anyway:

In September 1997, Sony Computer Entertainment America signed a deal with Eidos to make console releases for the Tomb Raider franchise exclusive to the PlayStation, preventing the Sega Saturn or the Nintendo 64 from having any Tomb Raider game released for it until 2000, a deal that would prove very beneficial to Sony both in terms of revenue dollars and also in further cementing the PlayStation's growing reputation as the go-to system for must-have exclusive titles.

Do you know that all console makers start with these timed exclusives thingy and later grows / buys their own first party studios. After two / three geenration all console manufacturers have their formidable first party line up. But this is quite opposite in the case of microsoft.

first part true second part I disagree,  all three are struggeling with their first party...We feel that studios have been closed and a PS launch with no wipeout is still  awkward for me;....
