I think the buyout was simply to keep this off of PS4 while Halo 5 released. The "Greatest lineup in Xbox history" is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard. It killed the sales of many games (Halo 5, Fallout 4, ROTR). Why release so many AAA titles in suck rapid succession? It did absolutely NOTHING for Xbox One.

You clearly have no clue! Don't let Sony amazing success cloud your view on what the competition has been able to achieve. While the Xbox One hasn't reach the same success has Sony's PS4... they have still manage to deliver on the company fastest selling, most profitable console in Xbox history and you can't denied how great their game lineup has been.

Seem like every one on this thread forgot about Uncharted 4 and Sony failure to deliver on their promise. The reason Rise of Tomb Raider is time exclusive to Xbox one was because Uncharted 4 supposed release in Holiday 2015.

So you're telling me a great game like ROTR having paltry sales has nothing to do with it being released the same time as Fallout 4? Just answer that simple question. And where in my OP did I even mention Sony? You quickly bounced to MS defense mode as if I bashed the decision by praising Sony.

If Sony were to ever release Ratchet & Clank, Uncharted, and ROTR at the same time they'd all hurt each other's sales. Thus this would be a bad decision all the way around. Don't get so angry and defensive over things you have no control over. Sheesh!

Finally, don't act as if ROTR were selling gangbusters Xbox fans wouldn't be in threads talking about how amazing the game is and how Sony fans have to wait another year to play it. They were all doing that prior to its release. Fanboyism works both ways. Sometimes you're the victor... Sometimes you're the victim. Feel free to categorize yourself in this one.
