Rise of the Tomb Raider Exclusive to Xbox One

Announced at Gamescom 2014, during the Microsoft conference, Rise of the Tomb Raider was announced to be exclusive to Xbox One.

What?

I mean why? It’s a franchise steeped in Sony history. I guess it works as Microsoft’s counter to Uncharted but other than fat stacks of cash, I can’t see what Square Enix are getting out of this.

Unexpected money hat is unexpected, and I really hate throwing that term around. Dead Rising 3 was not a money hat, nor was Titanfall. But Rise of the Tomb Raider is a bloody money fedora.
