I had a debate with a user, can't remember who, who predicted that Rise of the Tomb Raider will sell around 200k for the month. I was convinced it wouldn't flop that hard. Guess I was wrong and to who I had the debate with you were right.
How did it flop this bad, the signs were there but MS had the power to make this sell. It had the exclusive gloss, it was coming off the back of a succeessful reboot, it had its own bundle, it was releaseing in a peak part of the year and somehow it this happened. That article about MS and SE being happy with sales is a load of bullshit.
