You do realize that Sony did the same thing with Street Fighter V, but not timed, right? *sigh*

Not at all, if it was thé same, it would be obviously timed, SF V is " exclusive " ( on PC , no lie about that ) for 2 reason : Microsoft didnt accept cross play with PC + Capcom needed a real co partnership , someone to fund the game like they said

1. PC-XB1 crossplay is now a thing with Windows 10.

2. MS didn't just buy Rise of the Tomb Raider timed exclusivity, they've helped with it's development, much like Sony is helping with Street Fighter V's development.


But it wasnt a thing before, so too late

 

Square Enix didnt need Microsoft to fund it, but they were happy that they did, thats why its timed exclusive

While Capcom needed Sony( or Microsoft if they had cross play when asked ) to fund it , thats why it wont be on One 

 

Simple, it has been said, and it is logical, when thé money is optionnal, thé deal is timed 



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

i'm glad i was wrong!

Told you LOL. I can understand your concern though.

SE are complete idiots. They'll lose sales this Christmas because of bigger titles launching alongside TR and lose sales next Christmas because not many people will be interested. Absolute insanity. The only chance of getting decent sales on the PS4 version is to throw in any DLC, enhance the graphics and sell it for half the price.



 

The PS5 Exists.

the only surprise here is that they made this announcement before the game launches on xbox. this really kills most of the benefits xbox would be buying with their timed-exclusivity as they really were purposefully putting out vague statements so that many would believe this was "xbox exclusive".

anyways, a year is longer than i wanted to wait but an xbox is too expensive and redundant to even entertain the thought of getting one for tomb raider when i already have a ps4.

Could potentially bomb on PS4 with that kind of wait


If its a good game it will do well on PS4. People buy remasters of significantly older games.

 

Anyhow, this delay for PS4 is longer than I anticipated. Perhaps they will release a Ultimate Edition for all platforms next holiday.

It could bomb in comparison to what SE expect for it on PS4. Their expectations for the last Tomb Raider game were way off.

Don't the timing of this news will have much impact on potential hardware sales due to this game's timed exclusivity. The difference it will make isn't too big regardless.

Well at least know it's known.
