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.

Considering TR sales and that UC is regarded as better by PS fanbase why do you think a lot of people would decide to buy a X1 to play it there? And the fault was from MS bad messaging.
