I didn't even own a PS1, but when I think of that era - I always see Tomb Raider as synonomous with Playstation (And I know many others do too).

Yes, because Sony bought the franchise in the 90s so it wasn't allowed to come out on other consoles.

Maybe it just had the loyal fanbase fanbase to sell millions instead of 200k?

Maybe the Playstation was the preferable platform to develop on instead of the cartridge constrained N64 and the difficult to work with and poorly performing Sega Saturn?

Maybe they would have expanded from the Playstation if they were presented with more promising platforms to develop on?

 

Oh.

OT: It got the sales it deserved.

 

So many maybes, yet they still bought it.
