Could be worse, you could be talking a franchise where the vast majority of the fanbase exists on Playstation, and then becomes an Xbox exclusive.  In that vein, Tomb Raider says hello.

I'd already said this before to someone who had mentioned TR, going by the list on the wiki page, TR the franchise has been on:

Dreamcast, Game Boy Advance, iOS, Macintosh, Mac OS X, MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows, Mobile phone, N-Gage 2.0, GameCube, Nintendo DS, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Network, PlayStation Portable, Sega Saturn, Wii, Windows Mobile, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One

It's been on multiple platforms for years, you might say "yeah well I see more Sony in there than MS", but you see there's far more other platforms out there than all of SOny's within that list which is that of 6 vs 17, the franchise wasn't completely always Sony only, nor did they own them, sure some of the fanbase has been on some Sony systems but it;s also been over those other 17 non Sony systems, I;m pretty sure they matter as well as Sony.

Now I look at the MG franchise in general and it;s now become more widespread and more multiplat, first two games weren't even on a Sony system, the new few were and then handhelds/mobile happened and eventually other platforms and PC, the MG franchise has moved away from Sony and become more open.

The following of MG games in general I;d say outweighs that or TR's fanbase, especially since we had square posting numbers of dissatisfaction of TR not selling what they originally wanted from us compared to Konami who didn't bitch and complain about sales, they even had platinum stretch out for the first time to PC which proved a great success and further entrenched MG into the PC space with GZ and eventually PP, to have MGR 2 be soley exclusive to the PS4 would be a proper kick in the teeth more than TR would, the newly tapped PC market doesn't take that kind of crap as well as console folk would, the goodwill and money spent from that side can just as easily close up and be spent elsewhere and that would be Sony/Konami's fault.

That and being the better man seems to have died for certain if this is how we're to go about it, Sony getting MGR 2 and MS TR, buying back and forth to split up and anger the fan bases while each side is no better than the other, square/ms is no better but Sony/konami won't be either if they pull the same stunt.
