The worse Tomb Raider does, the more expensive it's going to be to get any exclusives in the future.

They can't let it flop. Tomb Raider's sales will be the benchmarks developers use in the future to negotiate such deals.

It might explain why they ended the CoD deal. They went for Tomb Raider instead, a much more 'exclusive' deal and more worth money wise, in terms of CoD they have advertising deal plus DLC not an entire game.

Tomb Raider (2013) and its DE sold a whopping 2.2 million (lifetime) on the XB1 and 360 combined. CoD sell 25 million + on all systems each year. I would argue that Marketing with timed exclusive content is more valueable on a massive franchise like CoD than TR.

Even with MS pushing the hell out of TR I cant see it selling more than 3.5 million on the Xbox family. Oh course it might be bundled to all hell so we may never know what it actually sold.
