I'm so annoyed that the latest Tomb Raider is only on Xbox for the foreseeable future. I thought I would have for PS4 in time for xmas so I could take some time to play it. But no, only Xbox and by the time it's one PS4 I'll have no time for it. Bastards!

If it makes you feel better FantasticMR the latest Tomb Raider game has sold poorly, due to the timed exclusivity and delayed PS4 release it's blown up in their face a bit.
The weirdest thing is the developers seem surprised, because who'd have thought that making Tomb Raider (a game always more popular on playstation) into a timed exclusive for the Xbox (which has sold quite a bit less than the PS4). Who could have seen that coming eh.

Yeah, a friend was saying last night that the difference in console sales this year was PS4 at 24+ million and Xbox at 14+ million. Why you'd sign exclusivity on that I have no idea.
Serves them right taking one of the very few games I would play away!

The only Tomb Raider game i've ever played is Tomb Raider 2 on PS1, that was one of the best games of the generation i'd say, call me sad but I found the best part of the game was freeroaming Lara's mansion & locking the butler in the freezer :D
I got my sister a newer Tomb Raider Game for the 360 a year or 2 ago, never played it myself, but did watch her play it, graphically it looked awesome

The last one was so good Outlaw. As they mention in the Honest Trailer, they very much tried to bring it's gameplay style in line with the Uncharted series, I was hooked.

Been thinking of trying a Tomb Raider game again, not used my 360 for months, need to find a game to get my teeth into
May invest in an Xbox One next year, to see what like the newer games are, & for the GTA V content

@FantasticMR It amazes me that no one at Square Enix thought that just maybe the short term pay off they received for a timed exclusive would outweigh the loss of money from the PS4 gamers (who make up a much bigger part of the market). Even worse for them I think Uncharted 4 will be out by the time the latest Tomb Raider finally comes out, so that will eat into the PS4 sales dramatically. Not to mention many might just wait till it goes cheap (if they are feeling vindictive after the year delay).
They even released the game in the first place against Fallout 4, the highly anticipated multi platform release.
It's like they really just didn't want to make money from that game.
