*The quality of the game will speak for itself*

100% agree with this statement. Let the haters hate, good games sell regardless what's on the market.

I'm sure Sunset Overdrive, Bayonetta 2 and every other Platinum game sold great . . .


Big differences. Sunset Overdrive is a new IP and Bayonetta 2 is on the wrong console. We are talking about one of the most recongised franchises in gamings history. Gamers know Tomb Raider and the last Tomb Raider was up there with the best Uncharted games of the generation. This sequal will speak for itself. If TR was a new IP competing agasint SW Battle Front, Fallout 4, Halo 5 etc then i will easily agree, however TR isnt a new IP, its been around longer then most of those games and why would FPS games even compare to a 3rd person action adventure title? Completely difference gaming audiences. Sci-fi and FPS fans will buy SW-BF, FO4 and Halo 5 while those who love Uncharted like gameplay will buy TR. Its almost like gamers think FM6 wont sell because Gears of War is releasing close to it.

Completely different audience.

There is a finite amount of money people will spend and the fact of the matter is that there is a greater chance that if someone can only get one game they'll pick Fallout 4 over Tomb Raider. I'm pretty sure Crystal Dynamics would have prefered if Fallout 4 wasn't releasing on the same day as them, but it isn't. So obviously they're going to say they're not scared. I still think the game is going to sell well, but it's sales are definitely going to get cannibalized by Fallout 4 and the massive games releasing around it.
