Well then, forgive me for misreading. It's been a while since I checked the "has finally become profitable" article on whatever website it was.m19 said:Not exactly. At 6 million it is "exceeding profit expectations" and is (according to SE) on route to becoming the best sold entry in the franchise. And it became profitable somewhere towards the end of that year.Evonisia said:If Jim keeps making these predictions I'm pretty sure every big publisher is going to explode into burning money come year's end.
I find it weird that the only financial point on Rise of the Tomb Raider's exclusivity in this video came in the form of "the previous game sold more on the PS4". Tomb Raider 2013 took seven million sales to become profitable, the Xbox One doesn't even have seven million households with one inside yet. Then again, it's obviously a timed exclusive so oh well.
Well, you can run a PS4 through an Xbox One (or at least something similar to that) with reduced smoothness so it would be a good fit. And I say that as an Xbox One owner.Ten Foot Bunny said:It won't just be the publishers. If Jim is as spot-on as he was last week, then we can expect to see the following announcement from Microsoft within the hour:
"Playstation 4 will be exclusive to Xbox One this December"
Can you imagine?
Heh, that would still allow me to feel free to buy it. Everyone else, know yourselves out. Whether I buy it or not it cannot possibly be profitable off the Xbox One alone. Still I hate that one console (regardless of which one it is) is the guinea pig group for the game so the other consoles/PC get the GOTY edition later on.Ariseishirou said:Well that offers an idea as to how we the consumers could get them to cut this shit out. Timed exclusive? Everyone who has the other console(s) boycotts it. Force them to nut up and make an actual exclusive if they want to pull this shit. See how much they like it when the new Tomb Raider has less than a million sales because they chose to put it exclusively on a console where that was inevitable.Evonisia said:If Jim keeps making these predictions I'm pretty sure every big publisher is going to explode into burning money come year's end.

Anybody with me?
