I did. All subquent sequels would sell better once it was understood that it wasn't going to end up on other consoles. Its already become apparent that the ones who claim they would wait for a PS4 version are not buying it now.

All subsequent sequels don't have anything to do with Rise of the Tomb Raider.

People are not arguing whether it was right to make Tomb Raider II exclusive to the PS1. They are arguing against your belief that Rise of the Tomb Raider would've sold better had it not been released on PS4.

Everything indicates that the majority of the fanbase is on PlayStation.

I do. What was the first thing fans did when they heard about Rise being MS exclusive? They demanded a PS4 version. If memory serves there were even death threats involved. And when they relented and admit that down the road a PS4 version is happening, they didn't go out and buy a Xbox version. By admitting that there would be a PS4 version at some point they pretty much killed the exclusivity deal and handicapped Xbox One version sales.
