Towards the end. Someone sent me a Youtube video set for the time he said it. It was a British guy who said it. I didn't want to listen to any more of it just in case they said something about the game. edit: it was an American guy. Go to 1:08:30 and listen: |
I listened a bit beyond that, they are all excited about how Tomb Raider is going to sell huge numbers and be a bigger seller on Xb one than Uncharted 4 on PS4.
I don't know that you could call that coupe of sentences an orchestrated campaign to spoil RoTR for PS4 and PC gamers, but it was a dumb, petty jab. I guess they think RoTR will be a huge success on Xb one, so by suggesting people spoil the game for PS4 and PC gamers they aren't really wishing the game to end up doing badly. But I think they are definitely over-estimating how well it will do on the Xbox platforms.
They talk a little bit about how late ports always sell badly, and one guy points to Mass Effect 2 and says it did terribly on PS3. Who knows how close VGC got to the right sales for ME2 on PS3, but I would say 1.44 million is pretty good. And judging by that RoTR should do significantly better since there is a TR fanbase on PS, whereas there was no established fanbase for ME on PS3.
