Didn't this break like a month ago?
Not that bad and it falls in line with other deals Microsoft made regarding third party exclusives in the past 
.
-Lunches on console first
-Gets a PC release 2-4 months after console launch
But this time, throw in a PS4 port a year after launch (which isn't that bad honestly; was expecting it to launch early 2017 on PS4 or something.....).
Good deal honestly and I hope everyone is happy that they know for sure they will be playing Rise of the Tomb Raider for the console they own.

People said this about Bloodborne too, but somehow I found a way to play multiple games in Spring.

Was there really any doubts that it was timed exclusive?
I'm more surprised at how early they announced the eventual port, I mean they didn't even bother putting it out yet.

The ridiculous language and mental gymnastics they were using to hide these versions wasn't doing anything. Despite some people insisting on it, the cat has been out of the bag since a couple of days after the game was shown as exclusive.
Might as well reveal it now.
Well, they tried to obfuscate it in many ways by claiming it was like a Dead RIsing 3/Ryse situation, but most people who were paying attention didn't buy it.

It was rumored.
Same. I think it's going to get destroyed by holiday 2016 games and zero fucks will be given.

Surprised they're not going for summer, next Winter could be packed.
It's probably a dx 12 game. And the OS will be 8 months old by the time the game is out. But yeah, fuck MS.

Square Enix just shot themselves in the foot.
I don’t know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I’m an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It’s not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the Japanese public, after hearing about this timed exclusivity, is not going to want to purchase these Tomb Raider games for either system, nor will they purchase any of Square Enix’s other games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square Enix has alienated an entire market with this move.
Square Enix, publicly apologize and release PS4 version alongside PC or you can kiss your business goodbye.
I seen it.

At least they finally said something. Hoped it would be sooner, I have an X1 but I'll wait to play the PS4 version.
Why should they? They said "Holiday 2015 only for Xbox" since the announcement of the game.

Coming out the same year as UC4? Hmm hopefully the date spread would make sure people are not too fatigue with the genre.

I think he wanted to talk about Uncharted vs TR (same genre), not time to play game in Spring. Bloodborne didn't have any competition
Yeah, right. I just don't feel like supporting companies in selling out their loyal fanbases. If you want to do that, you're free to buy as many new copies of ROTTR as you like.
Tomb Raider is at ~3.25 million copies on Steam currently, so they presumably didn't want to hold that up too long.
yep

Steam is mentioned right in the quote in the op.
Can't see this game being a console seller so to speak, and it's going up against Fallout 4. Personally I would call it waste of money, but I'm not running Xbox.

lol, the game might release the same month like ffxv, horizon and mass effect.

Thought the wait would be a year on PC aswell, if its released before DS3 ill pick this up now.
What surprises me more is the Windows 10 only information.
MS (and SE) are really banking on the OS adoption to target only the newest release.
Maybe the game is using some dx12 features....but we won't know until at least the X1 launch.

That's one way to avoid Uncharted 4.
I have an XB1 (and PS4), but I'll probably end up getting it for PC - or maybe I'll even wait the year and get a GOTY edition. I'm committed to not buying any new games till I beat the dozens of unopened/unplayed ones I've amassed this generation -_-
Also - I understand the benefit to the platform receiving the timed exclusivity, but it makes little to no sense for the publisher/developer. Especially for a game like Tomb Raider, which was a hit across all platforms it released on.
