Has Tomb Raider been wasted?

I actually think SE is losing on this deal. I don't know how much they were paid by MS so I guess that's the main thing I would have to consider. Either way though I think they're hurting the overall franchise by doing this. They may have come out ahead with this game because of MS's money but what did they lose by doing this? MS wont be there for TR3 at least I wouldn't rely on them being there. So now by the time the game comes out will anyone still care? Sure I will but I'll be waiting until it drop to sub $20 on steam. Mainly because the first one started off great but got really boring towards the middle and I had to force my way through the rest of the game. I could be wrong I just don't really see how SE is winning here this game is getting less hype then it did when the first one came out.

I feel the opposite tbh, the sales SE was going to make on Xbox was the sales they are going to make now even if they released all at the same time. MS just happened to throw exra money towards SE and during the first half of 2016 they will release towards the PC market and make their money from that sector and of course near the end half of that year they will then sell to PS4 which will also make them their money. Really they are just going from one system at a time to collect what they can, Rockstar did this with PC for enarly 2 years and they made plenty of money even without being paid to hold it off. The same happens when Sony does the same tbh.

Well tbh NMS has been hyped and held off two other systems for nearly 3 years now (yes 3 if you count the conceptual stages before PS4 was even remotely announced) and has been pushed back till next summer which I;m sure will have killed most of the hype but again time will tell what happens to that game.
