Has Tomb Raider been wasted?

Well, initial sales reports from other forums seem to indicate a sales catastrophe in the making. Fallout selling like hotcakes, TR settling for crumbs.
I am truly sad, one if my favorite franchises selling so undeservedly poorly. Hopefully they will get more sales in a couple of months at a reduced price.

But I do worry about the future of the franchise: Was a one time moneyhat worth sabotaging its success, especially when it turned out to be a very good game? Will that moneyhat be enough not just to replace lost PS4 revenue, but also to replace all the revenue lost by poor release scheduling?

It just seems that the initial announcement of "XBox exclusive, holiday 2015" with the subsequent uproar and Spencer's amateurish attempts to hide the real truth tied their hands as to the release date. They just couldn't swallow their pride and move its release once both Uncharted moved and Fallout muscled in on Nov.10.

I hope that Spencer's pride didn't kill TR's future.

Fallout 3 was more popular than the last Tomb Raider. Also, Tomb Raider may not appeal to the same lost souls you generally see on forums. Look at Assassins Creed or CoD. Very popular IPs hated on most forums. Much like the last Tomb Raider, this will probably sell a couple million on Xbox platforms.

Look, we get it. Youre jelly you arent playing the new Tomb Raider. You'll get your chance in time. Blame Sony for not moneyhatting every game I guess.
