Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Rise of the Tomb Raider Timed Exclusive for Xbox

"Honestly..." I'm more shocked it's not on PC.

See the 'Honestly' thing is a quote from MS current advert campaign. I'm clever me.



Hmm, pie.

There's just too much stuff going on around with this story; I'm gonna sit it out until all of the true details come to the surface



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Interesting.

Folks, this is bound to be timed exclusive unless M$ paid a pretty nickel for it. It's expensive since you are axing the near guarantee of the bigger pie slice of sales.

Timed exclusivity will still hurt total sales as history has shown with late ports, namely Bioshock and Mass Effect. Crystal Dynamics may have shot itself in the foot with this one.

Have you been taking good preorders for PS versions?

What will happen to them? Just refunds?

I do find the money hatting comments funny though

How do you think Sony got Bloodborne? I assure you there was money / marketing deals in place to make it an exclusive. MS simply did the same here.

Is it annoying? Yes I would have rather bought it on PS4 / PC so they could push the graphics farther, but I'm fine buying it on Xbox One as well.

Using resources to secure a 3rd party exclusive is nothing new. If you haven't learned by now its worth owning all the major consoles each generation let me assure you it is.
