Didn't Tomb Raider sell pretty well, Lara Croft was the female protagonist so isn't this already proven.

Not according to SE

Square Enix should have spent less on development for this game if 3.4 million sales  plus however amount of digital sales in a month isnt enough to make a profit. 3.4 million in a month is great especially for a reboot.

they never said it never made a profit, they said it failed to reach sales target. basically they, for some od reason, expected it to sell even more than it already did. they apperantly wanted more than 3.4M in the first month. the devs were very happy with the sales, square wanted more
