Out of interest, what are you referring to here?

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"

Well that seems like a pointless deal to make in retrospective...

Doesn't make the deal any better because it was made in 1997. But yes, this wasn't really money well spent.
