People really aren't happy about Rise of the Tomb Raider's Xbox exclusivity and justifiably so. As unfortunate as that may be, lets not throw the whole concept of exclusives under the bus. After all, exclusives have produced some of the best games ever made. As MWEB GameZone writes: "Exclusivity? Exclusivity is great."
Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game takes full advantage of the movie it is based on to present a fun multiplayer experience.
Games Asylum: "Super Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog weren’t the only platforming heroes receiving system-selling sequels in 1992. Over in Japan, the PC Engine’s Kaizō Chōjin Shubibinman (Shockman) series gained its third entry. US gamers had only just received the second game, and while there was hope of the CD-based Kaizō Chōjin Shubibinman 3 making it to the US, it was never to be. After playing through this newly translated re-release, it’s easy to see the potential it may have had – it’s comparable visually to Mega Drive/Genesis games released the same year and would have likely been positively received in the likes of EGM and GamePro."
The best shooter campaign since Half-Life 2 still hasn't been topped eight years later.
It's isn't really better for gaming but better for One owners. They should get a better preforming game out of it. This is still not necessarily good for gamers or gaming in general (since it is an old franchise going, timed, exclusive to a less popular console)
How idiotic. How is making a beloved franchise available only on one system great for gaming?
Especially since there are more people who could enjoy this game on Ps4 and Pc because of the larger fan base.
What an idiotic article. How is the Tomb Raider deal good for gaming? It's definitely bad for SquareEnix, Crystal Dynamics and the fans of Tomb Raider, because the fanbase is being split, but how is this good for gaming? Is it good for gaming, if Tomb Raider's sequel fails and we have to wait another 10 years for a possible reboot? Seriously mweb?

I never said the Tomb Raider thing was helpful. Just that exclusivity shouldn't be shouted down, because in this instance it was badly used.
Exclusives can be, and have been, great for gaming.
