Boycott Rise of the Tomb Raider PS4. Also, my feeling is that PS4 version won't be optimized for the PS4, and Square Enix probably will not be allowed to release a PS4 version that runs superior to the timed exclusive Xbox1 version.
The Tomb Raider 2013 version didn't do as well on either xbox360 (1.86 million) or xbox1 (0.35 million) compared to either PS3 (2.42 million) or PS4 (0.93 million). Square Enix is turning their back against the PS fan base, and this will probably not work out well for them. I don't understand how Square Enix think they can grow the Tomb Raider franchise by going timed exclusive with the console that don't have much history with the Tomb Raider franchise.
The Xbox1 Rise of the Tomb Raider may bomb this holiday. The Xbox1 version is already going against stiff competition. It's set to release Nov 10 against Fallout 4, andnd it's sandwiched between likely monster sellers Black Ops 3 and Star Wars Battlefront. And not to mention the Xbox1 exclusive Halo 5 that is released 2 weeks prior. Even if it wasn't a timed exclusive and also was coming out for PS4, I probably still wouldn't get this game. Too many other games. Once I start Fallout 4, that goes couple of months for me.
Oct 27: Halo 5 Guardians
Nov 6: Black Ops 3
Nov 10: Fallout 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider
Nov 17: Star Wars Battlefront
I'm defintely not getting the PS4 version. If it goes on sale on steam (Tomb Raider 2013 regularly goes on sale less than $5), then I may get it on PC.
