It is very clear Square Enix did this because of Naughty Dog. They didn't want to release TR the same time as Uncharted 4. Seems like they were scared shitless at the idea of battling with Naughty Dog. They probably thought uncharted will take off some sales off Tomb Raider since they are quite similar. Especially after the rave reception of Uncharted 4's trailer at E3.

Wouldnt it be funny is Uncharted had to be delayed until Feb 2016... and so it ends up that TR has it's own space and is not in competition with Uncharted and they would lose massive sales because it's not on PS4... and then they would be screwed if the timing is only 3-6 months cause then it would still be in direct competition... funny that would be :)

lol as funny as that would be....I feel that Microsoft must have paid a hefty fee for that exclusivity for the Xbox one. SE may not lose money but they will definitely be losing fans.
