Isn't this standard for Tomb Raider? I sincerely doubt that this game would have had massive sales even if it was PS4 exclusive. People like to act like the first one had blockbuster sales and in a sense it did. But the vast majority of those sales were at basement prices. I would not be shocked in the least if CD and SE were planning on this and took the MS money to make sure that it didn't need nearly as many basement sales to break even.

Seriously?

yup. These giant sales numbers you're talking about also went on systems that were around for many years and were pushing 150 million units. Not only that, the first month sales numbers while good, are still only a portion of the total sales in the end.

There is just no way that Rise Tomb Raider ends up selling units like the first one. There simply isn't enough units out there and it took years of basement sales before it got to profitability.
