I dont know what country you are in, but Tomb Raider got barely any media coverage, it was overshadowed by Fallout 4, Star Wars and evnen BLOPS3 to a lesser extent. Which was his point. 

Another question, you said that Zelda was covered by social media, thats not really true. Facebook doesnt mean much because if you already follow Ninty stuff and have friends that do, of course you are going to see it. Twitter is a better indicator. FF7 reveal and it was the number 7 trending topic, Fallout 4 was even higher a couple of weeks ago. Same on instagram. Now thats media coverage. Never saw Zelda up there not once.

Tomb Raider got the type of coverage he's asking for, it was shown with gameplay every now and then and had hyped up by MS, it's funny you want to ignore the biggest social media platform in FB and when something trends on FB it's not when your friends post it on feeds it shows up on the feed on the side, Splatoon also achieved the same so if you didn't see it that's not my problem, Fallout 4 even proves my point in that it's not the amount of media coverage that matters it's the type of startegy employed.

How long did Zelda U get announced? last year? Fallout 4 didnt get an official annoucement until e3 THIS year. and from then it was non stop information with a full trailer until the release and even after. Now how you can compare that to Zelda U's 13 seconds after a year and a half is beyond me. but OK. 

As for Facebook no, it didnt pop up on my feed or anyone else's feed UNLESS they were already interested in the game to begin with, but you ignore Twitter which is a much better indicator cause they have the trending topics right there for you to see, guess which game never popped up? And Spatoon got WAY mroe coverage than Zelda are you kidding? thats one of the games that Ninty actually seemed to give a damn about.

Tomb Raider stopped getting hyped when they realized Fallout 4 was comign the same day and lets be real TR didnt get that much to begin with.
