Forums - Sales Discussion - Rise of Tomb Raider XBox1 = sales dud of the year?

Although VgChartz may not be accurate and doesn't include digital sales, Rise of Tomb Raider Xbox1 only sold 105k physical copies in the US whereas as Fallout PS4 sold 1.255 million physical copies (xbox1 1.1 million physical copies).  More than 90% less than Fallout 4 PS4.  It even sold less than Fallout 4 PC physical copies (who buys PC physical disc?).  

Rise of Tomb Raider may not get to 1 million global sales with holiday sales at the end of 2015.

It deserves to die. This business practice needs to be discouraged.

That doesnt mean it deserves to die. I got it on 360 and is a great game. Deserves better sales.



Eh, not hugely unexpected. Let's just give it a little bit of time over Christmas before writing it off as a disaster or whatever, that's only fair.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Well, I don't think anyone really expected much more. Square Enix most probably got the whole production financed by Microsoft, if not more, so they ought to be good. Just remember, Microsoft paid 50 million back in the days for timed exclusive GTA4 DLC, which covered pretty much the whole development costs. They have deep enough pockets. I can imagine Microsoft to expect more out of this, but that's just silly. Especially with how they handled PR.

In the UK yes so far

Lets wait for NPD before judging in the USA.

Im sure this will have a 90% digital ratio as well.

There is a massive difference between the GTAfranchise and TR franchise. Everyone knows GTA moves consoles and software, TR hasn't proven to do this for a long time. 

 

It would be good to know what money they have given SE for this. I still think they have a combination of:

 

1) marketing 

2) in house developers to help with development for X1 version 

3) tools from MS to help development 

4) some cash 



I just hope SE is not surprised by this.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Yep. And I bet it will sell better on PS4 despite releasing a year later.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

This will teach Phil to not be so nice about disclosing deals. Trying to be everyone's friend won't win the console wars, bitch. 😔
