Well, I think MS wanted a game that would be highly desired to help pick things up for their system, and considering the raging butthurt from cows I'd say that they snagged themselves a worthy exclusive.
Personally I liked the latest Tomb Raider game more than I did any of the Uncharted games. But I find it weird that so many people could be upset by this news as the last few Tomb Raider games weren't even big sellers, and the reboot did okay commercially but not that much better.
I think Square Enix went with the deal because there's no guarantee the a new Tomb Raider, even as a multiplatform game, could sell a good deal on the current gen systems with their low install base, so MS coming in with heaps of money is a good way to cover needed revenues with this chapter in the Tomb Raider series until there's a bigger install base on next gen consoles can support it.
