Rise of the Tomb Raider PS4 sales are off to a rough start.

He just gave you the data on the multiplatform game, which was the last, selling almost double on PS platforms than on the XB counterparts (more than double on 8th gen devices).
Tomb Rider XBOX exclusivity was pointless from the get go, not on the same level but it's like if a Metal Gear Solid or Final Fantasy mainline game goes exclusive for XBOX, that doesn't make any sense.

Because it could be built up. What was the first thing that happened when Rise was announced as exclusive? People demanded it be on Sony then said they wouldn't buy it anyway because its a betrayal against Sony fans who bought on ps1 20 years ago. But lets say that the next 2 TR games were MS exclusive too. Eventually it would have been seen as a MS franchise. Kinda like how Sony fans see FF as a Sony franchise even though there are a half dozen games on Nintendo systems. We might get to see this happen now because of the poor sales on PS4. Kinda like how Titanfall 2 ended up on PS4 and it suffered bad sales. I wouldn't be surprised if it goes back to MS exclusivity, assuming it survives.

It may affect the franchise in a level that we won't see any new game in a while, they will put it in the Freezer again.

 

The style of the Final Fantasy games with the Playstation and Nintendo's consoles are very different. The 2  eras are very good. But you would expect that the franchise is linked with Playstation since there wasn't a single release for Nintendo in the last 20 years and the game sells almost more on Japan alone(PS) than on the Xbox(worldwide).

The last Final Fantasy, if I remember well, sold more on the PS3 in the USA despite the 20 millions of lead that the Xbox 360 had over the ps3.
