Maybe, just maybe... They should have been a little bit more worried about Fallout 4. :P

Well it's pretty much more indication that the Tomb Raider timed exclusivity deal was one of the worst ideas ever. It didn't help Microsoft, it didn't help Square... It pissed allot of their fanbase off which coincidentally many if not the most are on a different system so they didn't even release it to where most their fans were. This may effect the budget of the next game and significantly alter the franchises future, but hey... They said they were not worried!

The perfect storm of stupid is complete.

 

Pretty much hit the nail on the head.  A Tomb Raider game not coming to Playstation is laughable!  (I mean it is, but you know what I mean).

Don't worry, it will launch 1 year from now on PS4 with DLC on disc and sell 3x more on Playstation - and SE will never be this dumb again.

 

I basically agree with this. It would be almost as bad as making a Metal Gear game timed-exclusive to Xbox(or Nintendo console). The main audience for those games are on Playstation. MGSV sold something like 8 times as much on PS4 as compared to X1(according to VGC I know, but still sold several times more on Sony) because that title was made popular on Sony platforms. This is also the reason why Black Ops 3 has sold really well on Xbox 1 even with the PS4 having twice the user base AND marketing exclusivity, as COD was heavily tied into Xbox last gen.

This is not true. In US both XB1 and PS4 close to each other in LTD which is why XB1 getting more sales from BO3 as they had marketing for first year and have friends in XB1, but in worldwide BO3 sold more than XB1 almost 2:1
