As far as I know platforms were NEVER announced. The game was likely a MS exclusive for a while now.

The reports MS was going 3rd party purchase crazy in late 2012 - 2013 is real, and Scalebound and Tomb Raider are the 1st 2 examples with more to come.


wouldnt they add a clause depending on market share and or sales ? i would just to cover my ass.

I don't get the MS hate. They paid some money and got an exclusive. Cool for them.

Now, Square Enix on te other hand, wtf bro? I'm playing through TR on my PS4 right now and I'm enjoying it. I guess this is my last go with Lara.

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.


Well, that is your opinion and it could be right or wrong for either side.

If MS payed to much and the game does not deliver in quality and sales, than, it was bad for them.

If Square asked for to little and the potencial sales in the PS4 are much higher, it was bad for them.

We can only guess.

Well, this franchise just officially gone down the drain. Uncharted will rip it a new one.

Bad move imo.
Sales are going to suffer significantly


MS is going to have to supplment the other half the sales Sony would've covered with their fanbase. That is a lot of money. They must've REALLY needed to prove a point.

Now that point of view I can 100% understand.

You can't fault MS for this. They are simply doing anything they can to help expand their brand / userbase. Now Square Enix on the other hand they are the ones who have the control of the IP and it was THEIR CHOICE to make it exlusive. Obviously given the chance MS was all over it.

Let's all take a deep breath and wait for 10am PDT. Then we will see how this is REALLY going to play out. (10am is the start of Sony's presentation)

Fairly well known gaf insider stating that his ms source says it's a timed exclusive.
