This man speaks wisdom.shrekfan246 said:You know what game won't make me buy an Xbox One?
Tomb Raider.
You know what game I would play on PC, because I enjoyed its previous entry well enough?
Tomb Raider.
And the sales numbers don't lie, either, Tomb Raider 2013 sold far better on Playstation than it did on Xbox, so GG Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics. Thanks for proving to me once again that you don't want my money, it certainly helps me out.
This is the games industry, and square-enix in particular it wouldn't surprise me. Their are some supremely stupid people in the industryAdam Jensen said:Everybody knows that it won't stay exclusive for long. Only a profoundly stupid person would think otherwise.
Because it is. It's obviously a timed exclusive. Which means they get the money from Microsoft, they get money from sales, and then when they announce it for PS4 and PC they'll get that money too. Because gamers, as history has shown, are weak willed creatures. Give them a few extra trinkets to play with and they'll forget all about your evil past.Zhukov said:Seriously though, I can't imagine what led them to think that this is a good business move.

People usually mean they get an exclusive by way of a first party studio, or at the least a third party game which will remain exclusive no doubt. Not an "exclusive" that is redoubtably timed.kaioshade said:People said Microsoft needed to secure some exclusives to help the Xbox One. Microsoft secures an exclusive title, people lose their shit.
It is baffling.
A lot of people are saying timed exclusivity only because of Ryse and Dead Rising 3. There is no absolute certainty that Tomb Raider will be timed, it may never leave the Xbox One. I could also be dead wrong, no one knows. As risky as the move may be, i think it was an interesting one. I will buy it when it is available. I am fortunate enough to have both consoles.Rozalia1 said:People usually mean they get an exclusive by way of a first party studio, or at the least a third party game which will remain exclusive no doubt.
