You fail to see the bigger picture.. Halo, Tomb Raider, etc.. the more iconic franchise now on XBOX ONE will only drive interest toward her.

Anger...? I can afford to buy an Xbone if I wanted one but I don't support anti-consumer companies. I'll illegally download it when it's eventually on PC and enjoy the superior graphics compared to the 900p/30 that the Xbone can crank out.
Between the three
PS3 exclusive games, Uncharted has sold more than 17 million copies (average of 5.7 million per game, and that figure is from two years ago, only six months after Uncharted 3 was released). In comparison, Tomb Raider, released on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbone, and PC, has only sold 6.5 million copies. To suggest that even half of the people who bought that game will buy it for Xbone is ridiculous since the majority of its sales came from Sony consoles.
Some current Xbone owners will buy the game but that's about it. It's not a console seller. Maybe if Microsoft does yet another fire sale where they offer a $300 bundle that'll help but that's just pitiful. For Crystal Dynamics to do an exclusivity deal with the console that the original game is the least popular on is just nonsense.
Scalp a biT
I loved the first Tomb Raider but it's simply not a console seller. No one will buy an Xbone just for Tomb Raider, and those that do will buy a used one that won't even count towards Microsoft's sales. Tomb Raider isn't Uncharted... it's just not a big enough deal.
