I don't think it's an exclusivity issue, as majority of sales were on Ps4. If the exclusivity had pissed off Ps4 owners, then wouldn"t a higher proportion of the sales come from Xbox? And why wouldn't they have boycotted Rise instead? Are Ps4 owners that petty over a deal from 3 years ago?

Personally, I'm just tired of the Tomb Raider franchise at this point. Narratively, I was pretty underwhelmed by the second game, which felt pretty much like a repeat of the first 2013 game. Reviews of the finale seem to indicate the story isn't the main seller, and that Lara is pretty unlikeable and crazy in the third one too, and I just can't invest myself in a single-player story when the main character is unlikeable.

The thing is and this has to be true. If even just for one time, Sony or Microsoft or even Nintendo had and opportunity to make one Tomb Raider Exclusive, I think it would have a focused platform userbase attention and for bragging rights alone would muster in more sales. Timed exlusives seem like a waste of time and effort. Microsoft had that deal last time with Rise of the Tomb Raider. Then the PS4 version came out a year later and outsold it already. Just think if Naughty Dog were given a shot to really do Tomb Raider some justice it would then stand out. Instead of blend/bland in like a typical multiplat.
