Wasn't that just the developer (Crystal Dynamics) saying they were happy with how the game turned out? And they pointed out that their job was just to make the game as good as possible, while sales is a question they'd have to ask MS and SE.

Ahh, thank you for the correction.

I believe you were refering to this article? http://www.vgchartz.com/article/262214/microsoft-and-square-enix-very-happy-with-rise-of-the-tomb-raider/
They said that SE and MS were happy with the game and the dev team, and then responds regarding the issue of the sales.

"I didn't mean to go off topic or patronize, but there was suggestion in the thread that the reported sales numbers reflect poorly on the dev team," he added. "Square/Microsoft are happy with Crystal and Eidos Montreal and the game itself. As to the topic of sales, I'm unqualified to discuss it so I won't have anything else to say on this thread. Much love TRF and happy holidays."

Oh my goodness.  You see no one every said that the game was bad or tried to pin the poor sales on CD.  However, that does not take away from the fact that the sale represent a collosal failure.
