In the end The Order 1886 (PS4) outsells Tomb raider (XB1) during the holidays and with a 20% less install base. Guess exclusives during the holidays matters more right?

Don't tell me... I was among those who slapped themselves after seeing MS releasing RotTR on the same day as Fallout 4. I remember we cancelled a bet the moment they announced the date...

 

Question is. What is the best release date for a game like that? February, September? Clearly all guns during the holidays isn't always the best choice.

Indeed. The next big release should happen on a drought. It happened with Splatoon and they won big time...

You guys should know that tomb raider underworld is really overtacked for Xbox 360. Game actually only did slightly better than Rise of The Tomb Raider did on 360/one combined. (US)

I hadn't heard much of Underworld, must've been rather low profile...
