Bad buzz now we know the truth( even if we knew it inside, the fud it created consused people, especially casuals), causing a lot of people to wait , for those who wanted more a PS4 but were fan of Tomb Raider ( i dont think a lot of people would buy a $400 console only for 1-2 games they want if they want more an other console, especially if they like adventure games)

I'd defer to BMaker's post.

Microsoft helping to fund this game (in the same vein that Sony often does) has bought them a full year's exclusivity over their rival console. Now we could have a big debate about the merits of these sorts of deals, but MS and Sony would be equally guilty.

Certainly a full year is a lot more than many of the sorts of people you refer too were expecting - including yourself I believe!

Well we were expecting 6 months ( like the most solid source was telling) but Uncharted 4 delay changed everything for Square Enix, so they surely changed their planning to avoid it.

And i dont really see what it has do with my post , but i dont think we would end the debate by saying they are equally guilty, at least not on this generation, if we had one.  Timed exclusive DLC( most people really dont care, including me) is really not the same thing than a real timed exclusive on a full game only because you paid for it while the game could have been made  on both consoles without your funding like Rayman Legends ( at the beginning) and Tomb Raider. ( otherwise it wouldnt be timed) You cant compare a Bayonetta 2/SFV situation to a Rayman Legends/Tomb Raider 2 situation, they are totally different, the simple fact one is timed and the other not should be enough to understand.  When the funding and partnership is not necessary to make the deal, the deal is always timed
