Well, in some way you are right but Tomb Raider was not really "tied" to PS. Yes, PS systems all got the main games but they were also always on PC and other platforms, too. IIRC it was never exclusive to PS. But yes, it is more tied to PS than Xbox. This might change now, perhaps ;)


They Ported the 2013 tomb raider to the PS4 and Xbox One where the PS4 trounced the Xbox One version.

Square Enix took money to not put the game on the PS4. Even if they are a business they are also screwing over the majority of their loyal fans.

Fuck square enix

Sure it sold more on PS4, PS4 gamers had no games so they buy every game they can get! No really, you are right with that. But really, who are the loyal fans? How many do you think played every TR on PS? I guess not even 10% played the first TR.

Now you're just grasping at straws.

It´s not like Microsoft put a gun in Square/CD president´s head to close the deal.

It was a bussiness decision. Money was exchanged and contracts were assingned.

So? It was a stupid business decision then.

How do you know? You know how much money microsoft gave SE? But what do I know? I guess a bunch of people on online gaming forums MUST know better then a multi-billion dollar corporation!

It's sad, but with many decisions Microsoft has made near the end of 360 gen and especially with the XB1, I'd have to say that the average forum opinion is FAR better than what crack they're smoking at Xbox HQ.

It's even tangible and provable. If the X1 baseline doesn't get bumped in a noticeable way when this TR releases, then Microsoft wasted their money. X1 owners get nothing for this, they were already getting the game. And TR = system seller? Don't make me laugh. This isn't 1996.

If the bet isnt happening, drop it please. No more.


As I said, it won't happen.

It would be cynical if Sony would release Uncharted 4 within days of the TR release on Xbox One. It would get crushed like 10:1

And then half a year later it gets released on PS4 and sells even less than on One



Game of the year 2017 so far:

5. Resident Evil VII
4. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
3. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
2. Horizon Zero Dawn
1. Super Mario Odyssey

Trust me, Microsoft has more money than Sony and they will purchase every exclusive for the XBox one as they can get, and they will not spend alot of money just for a timed exclusivity, not for a title like this!!! Everything or nothing ;)

In that case they would've bought CoD and Destiny by now. Probably FIFA and AC too. Not a small timer like TR
