You mean, good for the Xbox? And even then, I doubt people will buy a console just for one game, specially when its coming to the other platforms (or at least PC) after a while.
[quote]Spencer said that the console games business is “hits driven”, and estimated that only 30% of games released are successful.[/quote]
Yes, let's put a great selling multiplatform game on to one platform and that'll definitely make it part of the 30% that are successful.
[QUOTE]Certain people won't believe this: it doesn’t come from an evil space.[/QUOTE]
No it comes from a very real earthly evil, where people are more willing to take some cash now instead of waiting for more cash later IF the game sells.
Of course this cash injection will be good for Tomb Raider. It just won't mean shit if the series is forgotten by the rest of the market.
I feel like if this happened to the ps4 people wouldn't have as much of a reaction lol

Which Microsoft owns and has always owned since it's been on the Xbox.
It is beyond me how Phil thinks that this any kind of good PR. The lies about "being good friends" and other bullshit are simply embarrassingly ridiculous.

He is being positive and polite as a direct reaction to Sony doing nothing but talk shit.
[QUOTE=redBadger;45726647]I feel like if this happened to the ps4 people wouldn't have as much of a reaction lol[/QUOTE]From a business perspective, they would stand to make more money on PS4 if they were exclusive with Sony. I mean, isn't the PS4 outselling the XB1 by a wide margin?
Of course, they could also release it for XB1, PS4, and PC and make all of the monies. But apparently business isn't about making sense.
I thought it was just a timed exclusive?
[QUOTE=Robber;45727067]I thought it was just a timed exclusive?[/QUOTE]
yes but they still made a deal for exclusive for a timed period. but still a exclusive deal.
Well I think Spencer is a dumb fuck.
I could care less, tomb raider died with underworld.

*Could not.
Could care less means you do care about it.

Yeah, and he could care even less.
[QUOTE=Ragekipz;45727908]Yeah, and he could care even less.[/QUOTE]
Could not care less = you have zero care for it and the amount you don't care couldn't get any lower.
Could care less = you do care for it.
TR never seemed like that good of an IP to me, so I don't know what Phil is thinking.

Depends - the deal MS is offering them might be worth more than what they'd get either from on release multiplatform or on an exclusivity with sony.
Remember, MS was pushed into a corner, PS4 is selling more so MS is forced to offer better deals. They need to either pay significantly more, or give much higher bonuses (free marketing, maybe releasing an tomb raider themed console etc)
Why would it be good for Tom Raider? The Xbox has lost $400 Million dollars so far, while the Playstation is at least making profits already. Why would the Xbox be good for Tomb Raider over anything else? Is Microsoft promising to buy the first 3 million copies or what?
Good for Xbox, maybe.

Xbox would have had to pay a lot of money to Squenix to make it worth not having their next big game on all possible platforms.
[QUOTE]Big games are good for our industry, and if we can make games bigger, in the long run, that’s healthy.[/QUOTE]
Tomb Raider 2013 has sold over 6 million units and Square Enix described it as a failure at retail when in the first month it sold 3.4 million.
No Microsoft, games do not need to get bigger, they need to become smaller and more efficient.

Wasn't this statement debunked?
