Maybe, but that would also say to the PS4 users "Hey, do you remember when we screwed you last year?". 

 

I think it's over for them. Next Holiday season, the basic PS4 SKU will surely be the Uncharted 4 Bundle (maybe even with the UC Collection in it?), with huge third party games like Final Fantasy, Mass Effect, maybe even Persona 5 and something like Destiny 2 (and the usual Assassin's Creed, CoD, Fifa...). And other first party games like Horizon and maybe The Last Guardian. The new PS4 users will get Uncharted in their bundle, the old PS4 users will have plenty of new and hyped games to buy, nobody will care about Tomb Raider, even with a Definitive Edition. Could be one of the first PS Plus AAA games, or like this year a huge discount after the initial fail in sales. 

I get you, but then I don't think Square/Crystal will do anything special to entice PS4 owners.

What I do expect though, is that, if there is a sequel to ROTTR, Square will focus on PS4 and PS4 owners and will do a lot of ass-kissing for the PS4 version. But I think the ROTTR situation is pretty much done by now on the eyes of Square and they will release the game on the other platforms and be done with it.

Yeah, seems like ROTTR can't catch a break from difficult release dates. I recall reading a rumor though, that said "exclusivity" of ROTTR was extended, which I don't believe, but then wouldn't surprise me if Square tries to push the PS4 release after the Holidays.

 

I agree. There could be a problem for the next game though... 

 

I saw on GAF that Crystal Dynamics were the ones asking for the MS deal to SE originally, and that they usually develop games only on Xbox and give the Playstation port to other studios afterwards. If it's true and the studio is "Pro-Xbox" and doesn't have a lot of PS experience, then it could be harder to focus on PS4 for TR3 (new studio needed?).
