Re: Yes, Lara Croft Will Likely Still Climb onto PS4 in Rise of the Tomb Raider

Not sure what Microsoft is smoking that makes them think that ROTTR being exclusive to X-Bone is going to make people rush right out and drop $400.00 dollars on a console just to play ONE GAME but it must be some good stuff!

Look the fact is this will end up being the biggest business fail in history! WHY? Because you can't tell the vast majority of your market (18.5 million) to take a flying leap and think your still going to be successful with the game. Microsoft has made promises to Square Enix that they can't keep. They (MS) is banking on tomb raider fans flocking to the store to buy themselves an X-Bone One just to play this game and its just not going to happen. Tomb Raider while a good game just doesn't have the stand-alone power to make people buy a new game system to play. I mean it’s not like its Halo or COD or Uncharted or The Last OF Us.

To begin with the PlayStation Nation is PI$$ED and not willing to buy this game even if it did come out for PS4. To them this betray amounts to a declaration of war and have turned their focus to hoping and asking for Naughty Dog to make Uncharted 4 the best game since TLOU and want UC4 to destroy Tomb Raider. Lets just look at the facts Microsoft has barely shipped 10 million consoles noticed I said "Shipped " not sold and there in lies the problem. Microsoft can't even get people to buy their console when they drop the price to $349.00 and include free games so if they can't get people to buy their product then they're going to have a very difficult time reaching the sells number SE and MS are looking for. Sony has Sold $18.5 million consoles and those people WON'T be playing ROTTR and that will be the undoing of this game and most likely of this franchise. Since we all known SE was highly upset at the amount and speed at which the last TR game sold they are going to really be let down when this games sells figures don't come anywhere close to the reboot which after the re-mastered copies release ended up selling 6 million copies.
The vast majority of PlayStation players aren't expecting to ever be able to play this version of TR, To assume that "Timed Exclusive " Means that there will be a PS4 version is foolish no one has EVER said there will be a PS version of this game so to assume so is very risky. NO! I instead think that the comments made by Phil Spencer concerning the game being a " Timed Exclusive " refer to a PC version being available later and NOT a PS version. I fully expect this game to be LOCKED UP for a period no shorter then FIVE YEARS since Microsoft is publishing and marketing this game just as they did Mass Effect. If that’s the case and we don't see a PS4 version until 2021 then well by then NO PS player will care or will they rush right out to buy it. It will be a game PS player’s pick up out of the bargain bin.
OMG Your a special kind of Stupid Aren't You? Lets say I'm right and Microsoft locks this game up for five yrs do you really think that ANY PS4 player is going to have ANY interest in playing this game in FIVE YEARS? NO! They won't which will mean what? It means a lost of sales to 18.5 MILLION PS4 owners and that lost of sales translates into the failure of this game and the end of the franchise. Why you ask we'll I'll tell you for the simple reason that Microsoft doesn't have enough players to sell 7 million copies of this game which is the number of games sold that it takes for a game to be a success. Why do you think they are making a 360 version as well dumb ass it's so they can try and make up for the millions in lost copies they won't from the Sony community.

I believe this game is LOCKED and will be an X-Bone game in what I believe is it final Hoo Ra. For I for see Square Enix calling this venture a fail after it doesn't reach the sells that Microsoft has promised them and they won't make another one as they will deem it not profitable which is all they really care about anyway.

Besides the PS Nation is anger and feels betrayed so WE wouldn't buy the damn game even if it did come out for PS4, we're not going to reward the bastards for betraying us that just be stupid. We would rather use our power as a gaming community to say WE don't like this exclusive B/S and we're NOT going to put up with it. Yes there will be a few PS players who buy this game but believe me we'll make damn sure to buy it USED so the money doesn't go to SE or CD.

You seem to assume that just because you read it is a " Timed Exclusive " that it would naturally come out on PS4, which really isn't the case genius! You ever given the thought that Phil Spenser comment of it being a timed exclusive could mean that it will come out for PC and NOT for PS4? Well, you should because that’s what I believe is going to happen since all games start as PC language they could have the PC version just setting on shelf right now. Now come to grips with that Bone Head!
