Co-sign the bolded. I'm starting to believe any developers worth a shyt will create more or less equal ports. MS needs true exclusives (NOT on PC:upsetfavre:), and more new IPs. And if they really wanted to go hard, buy Capcom. 5-10 A to AAA exclusive franchises, including the whole fighting game community by the shirt hairs.
They BEEN doing this. Killer Instinct, now Tomb Raider. Crackdown, Sunset overdrive, Halo, Forza & Forza Horizon, Even Kinect Sports is fun. Phantom Dust, Gears, Project Spark just off the top of my head
We know of all this only 9months into the system's life. There will be a ton more. Dinner is served on 9/30/14

"XBOX EXCLUSIVITY HAS A DURATION"

Tomb Raider 2 will not drop on PS4. The President of Sony was asked about Tomb Raider (a game that's already started development) and he was completely clueless. He alluded that he didn't know if it were ever going to be on PS4, which confirms in all likelihood Tomb Raider will only drop on Xbox One console, and then on PC down the road (which is also majority Microsoft). PC does not take away from exclusivity, especially when Microsoft dominates that market anyway.

I feel what you're saying, and I should have said "Not on PC or 360". They give people too many excuses to not buy an XBO, and negate the bad PR. And I still say buy Capcom. Street Fighter 5 exclusive - system seller. New Mega Man games exclusive - minor system seller. Monster Hunter exclusive - minor system seller. Non-ass Resident Evil exclusive - minor system seller. If you're gonna moneyhat, do it right.

No offense but, Monster Hunter a minor system seller? That IP alone can keep Capcom afloat. That's one of the biggest and best franchises in video games period right now, especially in Japan.

In the console space. I they were bought by MS, do you think they would still be allowed to make Nintendo portable games? If so, free money, and I agree.

You really think Square is stupid to turn down potential sales after the duration is up when ps4 is 10 million units compared to the paltry's xbox one's 3 milly????

C'mon it's business!!!

You're right, it is business. Whatever money Square was hoping to get without taking a deal was already coughed up by Microsoft. Sales is not really a concern, Square already made their money, which is why they allowed Microsoft to have input every step of the way on this Tomb Raider project.

It's also a great move because it allows the franchise to stand on it's own two as a direct competitor to Uncharted 4. That alone is worth more than whatever additional sales they would get. Besides, let's be honest about it; the casual gamer was not going to buy both Uncharted and Tomb Raider, so it's a safe bet to assume TR2 was going to sell more on Xbox One anyway.

Halo, Gears, Crackdown, Killer Instinct, what is wrong?

And if they wanna do it RIGHT, they need to listen to me. Let me drop this jewel on you.

Zack & Wiki is from Capcom, that needs to hit XB1 pronto.
The controls that worked with the wii-mote could easily be duplicated with Kinect :manny:

Sales is not really a concern?!????? And if sales fail to meet expectations???????

I would buy tomb raider and uncharted 4 (but im not a casual gamer) ..... why not have both.... the xbox made the deal to undercut the ps4 and yes have something to have competition, but you need to understand if those sales dont reach expectations square will release it on ps4... they didnt buy the tomb raider IP, they brought a time frame... The same way the first game came out for the old systems, the remastered edition will release for the ps4 down the line once that time duration expires i give it a year. just wait. we will see... The ps3 version of tomb raider sold alot!

What is wrong is that the amount of Xbox games that go on PC are potential lost console sales, and I'm sure it would benefit them more in the long run, since people couldn't just "wait until it's on PC". Even if it doesn't, a lot of people thought/think it, that's bad.

I don't concern myself with Wii games, so I'll take your word for it. The IPs I mentioned are the well known ones that would sell systems. SF and RE(a good one) alone would be huge.

What expectations? Square got paid up front.

Exactly.

but you need to understand if those sales dont reach expectations square will release it on ps4...

No, they won't.

they didnt buy the tomb raider IP, they brought a time frame...

They bought exclusive rights to "Rise of The Tomb Raider". It will not drop on PS4. It's as simple as that.
