Our friends at Microsoft have always seen huge potential in Tomb Raider and have believed in our vision since our first unveil with them on their stage at E3 2011. We know they will get behind this game more than any support we have had from them in the past - we believe this will be a step to really forging the Tomb Raider brand as one of the biggest in gaming, with the help, belief and backing of a major partner like Microsoft.
That bit right there pretty much says that M$ threw a lot of money there way to make it xbone exclusive. Like I'd probably buy an xbone anyway, but I still think its a massive screw you to everyone.
But I would still say it will be an 8 to 12 month timed exclusive anyway.

Well, how else would third-party exclusives exist? It's always a trade-off where the platform owner pays the publisher. And it's always a bad thing. Exclusives should die, and one day consoles too (cue John Lennon's Imagine).

Yeah. Totally exclusive. Like Dead Rising 3, you know.

MS would have to have offered an assload of money to make up for the sales loss Square-Enix takes putting it out for the system with a significantly smaller install base. Either that, or SE and Crystal Dynamics are desperate and need immediate funds.

Bad move, even with a timed exclusive IMO it does hurt a game a little once it releases on other platforms because a lot of people stopped caring about it or glimpsed it at a friend and don't need it anymore. I'm disappointed and I can't believe whatever amount of money they got for this is worth it. I never once wanted to buy a game or a console just because it's on that specific console, but it certainly does get me annoyed at everyone involved.

Well, whenever it comes out for the other formats, just don't buy it (or any other square enix stuff) until it gets dumped in bundles etc. Vote with your wallet, that's the only thing these so-called managers understand.

I'm specifically talking about this game, not games generally. Btw, what are you doing on sg then? Buy games, don't win them! *jk ;)

Meh, the newest reboot was good but not enough to pay top dollar for it. I dont mind waiting until its evenutal PC release, and then waiting even longer until its inevitable massive discount.

Yes, time to get my wallet ready... when it hits the PC.

Well Prob get the Remastered Edition later just like everyone is doing now.
I think its a good thing for Xbox Owners but its a real fuck you to loyal PC and PS users as the series started on PC/PS/Sega Saturn at that time all the way (of course Sega makes nothing now).

I was shocked when I heard this, and I actually OWN an Xbox One! I've been a long time fan of the series, but I think it's pretty disrespectful to pull a move like this. There has never been an Tomb Raider game NOT on the Playstation system until now.
Going online to their facebook page, it's on fire with thousands of people raging hard over it, and I don't blame them one bit. I know if I only had a gaming PC or a PS4 and heard this news, I would be up in arms over this call. The thing that I don't get, the Tomb Raider reboot sold so much better on Sony's console and the PC over the Xbox consoles, then they pull this. After Crystal/SquareEnix complained they didn't make enough money off the Tomb Raider reboot, they turn around and announce the sequel will be exclusively on the Xbox One, just don't get it.
My only thoughts, Microsoft tossed a buttload of cash their way and is calling it, "Exclusive" but it'll turn out just to be a timed exclusive.
