The deal Sony made 1997 with CD to lock Tomb Raider out of other consoles.

 

"In September 1997, Sony Computer Entertainment America signed a deal with Eidos to make console releases for the Tomb Raider franchise exclusive to the PlayStation, preventing the Sega Saturn or the Nintendo 64 from having any Tomb Raider game released for it until 2000"

Oh wow, thanks.  I didn't know they'd made an actual deal like that!
