Like Val said because it was on multiple platforms. That doesn't sound like it will sell great if limited to one platform no matter which one PS , PC or Xbox.

Pretty sure Square/Crystal and MS know the dynamics of sales and how the sales were spread in the past.
Especially if the one platform put up the worst sales is what I am saying.
Now UC4 will bring the sales.
Lol Come on it took multiple platforms to sell that many really isn't hard to believe being limited to one could hurt the sales. This isn't a anti MS thing just a guess based on the last games sales. You never know though all we can do is wait and see.
Don't you think if WE know this, THEY don't know this? LOL Pretty sure they would NOT do this if it was NOT beneficial or profitable for them in the long run. Even I wouldn't do something if it wouldn't benefit the company.Lol Come on it took multiple platforms to sell that many really isn't hard to believe being limited to one could hurt the sales.

I see no reason to run out and buy the X1 version especially going by how bad the previous version performed and knowing a improved version will be coming to my other formats.Lol Come on it took multiple platforms to sell that many really isn't hard to believe being limited to one could hurt the sales.

Yup, and they wouldn't gamble if they thought losing the gamble would be the outcome.....as far as the odds go.
Square Enix has "claimed" exclusive things before and has always favored/been in bed with Sony but yet still lied and cheated on them and took the goodies elsewhere.
Anyone who thinks Tomb Raider won't propel the Xbox brand to new levels has another thing coming.
I agree and it will offer XBO a good challenger to UC4.Before the "you hate MS ,XB1" fans jump me it was a smart business move I have never thought otherwise.
That's more than the last Mortal Kombat, Watch Dogs, the last Resident Evil, and almost as much as Assassin's Creed IV. No offense, but those were pretty good sales for Tomb Raider. Expecting sales equivalent to some of the multiplatform powerhouses is unreasonable.
Square Enix thinks otherwise and I agree.
It won't be more then Watch Dogs after its available a bit longer,RE was horrible and fighters don't sell well.
Thats what Im excited about. Both games are going to be absolutely brilliant because of the competition. MS are smart to bring on a title like T.R. because Naughty is an awesome developer, and Uncharted is going to be incredible. Ms is going to need something to water down that "WOW!" factor, because there will be plenty of those when Uncharted releases.

1. 1080/30 is not "bad". The game looked and performed quite well.
2.just because the exclusivity has a "duration", it does not guarantee any other versions of this game. I suppose you could play the waiting game, but you could be waiting far past relevancy
It wasn't 1080p at all times and 30 fps is bad.
They might change the title and add more content but its coming to other formats within 6 months.
This is Square/Enix.
-Tomb Raider 2013 was at MS' E3 presentation. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that wasn't the first time MS has gone out of their way to specifically feature the series on stage at e3.
-Crystal Dynamics have developed exclusive content for previous Tomb Raider games with MS.
-360 was their goto platform last gen, while they delegated the PS3 ports to another developer.
-MS even featured one of the a Tomb Raider release as one of the XBLA Games of the Summer, where it was released ahead of the other versions on 360.
-MS have done co-marketing with them in the past few TR games.
Anything you remember about them and Sony was back in the PS2 days. Them glory days, before 360 was released, lol.
Hopefully the definitive edition coming later will be targeting 60 fps just like the 2013 version. Pretty sure the X1 will be 1080/30 unless someone has said otherwise.
And there's a wee example of your stealth trolling that you reckon you don't do.
