So I was just watching Microsoft's press conference at GamesCom. And what did just happen. Well Rise of the Tomb Raider is a Xbox exlcusive game.... Wait what? So you're saying that the game that sold more on Playstation is now a Xbox exclusive game? Weird right? Now let me quote Silellak from Arstechinca.com. [quote]I can understand why some people feel betrayed, as I think there’s a difference between securing a brand-new IP like Sunset Overdrive, and making the sequel of a successful multi-platform game (a game which, apparently, sold better on the PlayStation) available exclusively on the Xbox. At the end of that day, though, that’s business, and Crystal Dynamics must have been written a pretty huge check to both make the game exclusive and potentially alienate any number of fans. It’s a gamble and it’ll be interesting to see if it pays off in the long run. For some reason, this quote from their tumblr post just makes things worse: [quote] This doesn’t mean that we’re walking away from our fans who only play on PlayStation or on PC. Those are great systems, with great partners, and amazing communities. We have Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris coming to those platforms this December, and Tomb Raider: The Definitive Edition is available on PS4.[/quote] Pretty sure that’s exactly what it means, but hey, business is business. Hope that’s a pretty big check. It seems like an especially weird business decision, though, given that the last Tomb Raider game sold better on PlayStation systems, but I guess Microsoft can write some pretty huge checks. Either way, I guess Winter 2015 is going to boil down to Uncharted vs. Tomb Raider, and I know who gets my money in that equation[/quote] Your thoughts?
