I really doubt they did that. i belive They were scared of Uncharted and instead of delaying their game they got Microsoft into giving them a pointless (to Microsoft) exclusivity deal. They'll release at the same time as uncharted, go relatively unaffected by uncharted, pocket Microsoft's cash, and than release it later on the PS3/PS4/PC safe from uncharted. They know if they dont release on the PS4, they will be losing a sizable chunk of the market, they are not stupid espcially now that the PS4 is outselling the Xbox one 2:1. All past Tomb Raider sold more on the PS4 anyway even when the market share was even between them, but going toe to toe with Uncharted is something they felt they had to avoid at all cost. Both Uncharted 2 and 3 sold 7million+ copies a piece on one console by 2013. Tomb Raider clocked 6.5 million on PS3, PC, and Xbox one. This Crap with MS just helps them save face. |
I also belive that is why squareenix made the deal with MS. Ms pays for the game, does the marketing etc. To be realistic, ps4 owners would prefer u4 than tomb raider(both for the holiday season)
