I'd rather CD do what they do with a publisher than a console company, especially since TR is a multiplat franchise.

It's not selling as a MPlatform should be anyway. Pretty sure ND's prestige could carry or restore Tomb Raider IP since Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics damage their brand.

That doesn't matter, there is no valid reason why a game like TR should be bought up by Sony and sold only on Sony platforms, there are other "prestige" studios out there that could do a good job, ND is not the end all to be all of story telling or action adventure games.

If you think a franchise not selling tens of millions is extremely bad and it needs to be made exclusive then you've got overblown expectations and projections.

Ehh what devs are there that could actually restore Tomb Raider to its classic reputation other than Naughty Dog? I mean tell me?At this point, Tomb Raider will be a frozen IP because the damage has been done thanks to the holiday exclusivity they did last year.

It's not about exclusivity, though.It's just fixing brand perception. If Square sells Tomb Raider or Crystal to Sony since they get to do with games up their alleys.

Ehh why? Uncharted didn't need to sell 10M to become successful too. If SE sells Tomb Raider to Sony then it's their right to keep things exclusive. It's only logical.

Plus a smaller release means lower budget And ND is a master at tight budget management without quality sacrifice.

And Sony could fix the continuity issues with Uncharted because ND's 1st team or whatever team will probably be focusing on TLoU.

Plus it's cool if Lara and Nate crossover too. It's a win-win imo.
