Tomb Raider doesn't seem to be doing well at all. Xbox One version not even in the top 50 one day after launch

The series lost huge hype when it went timed exclusive and ignored playstation for a year. They are beginning to see the fruits of their labour. 

It was just pure business and in the end it was a genius move by Microsoft. I don't know if it harmed the franchise, but I don't think it made it any favors either.

You can't help but feel sorry for Square Enix though. Darrell Gallagher from Crystal Dynamics made the deal with Microsoft, got fired by Square Enix, and then moved in at Microsoft as the studio head at "The Initiative". Talk about under-the-table agreement.  :/
