Has Tomb Raider been wasted?

This is what I have been saying in the ROTR review thread,but some people did not understand this basic fact.Neither company will benefit from this deal and the deal is bad.

From my experience, just one game does not sell a console.  Tomb Raider by itself was never going to sell X1 consoles.  What will sell X1 consoles is a lot of top quality AAA well reviewed and wanted games.  So if the X1 has enough of those games that hit the right spot for a consumer including price, then those factors will move more X1 especially during the holidays.

From what I have noticed is that gamers only look at the now.  Does it sell x amount of copies in a week or so forth.  Companies like MS, Sony and Nintendo also look at the bigger picture.  Does having this game in our profolio at this time during the holiday improve our overall perception amount consumers.

It has not improved the X1's perception.It has actually been the opposite.A timed exclusive adds no value to any console if it is not as big as COD or GTA.
