How so? The game had actually marketing, it was very much spoken about in the "media", it had many, many people who said that the game is still amazing or good and it had close to no competition when it came out. Also, it had the smell of a PS exclusive where people automatically think it's good.

But yeah, the sad part is that a bad game sells more than a good game.

you sound bitter

and do you have proof that Sony bought the rights to have it released exclusively on PS1? kinda sounds like crap considering the series was never exclusive the original released on Saturn and the rest released on PC, hell even GB color had a TR game.

 

When a bad game sells more than a good game, shouldn't every gamer sound bitter?

And of course I have proof: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomb_Raider_II

"In September 1997, Sony Computer Entertainment signed a deal with Eidos to make console releases for the Tomb Raider franchise exclusive to the PlayStation, preventing the Sega Saturn or the Nintendo 64 from having any Tomb Raider game released for it until 2000, a deal that would prove very beneficial to Sony both in terms of revenue and also in further cementing the PlayStation's growing reputation as the go-to system for must-have exclusive titles."

Read again what I wrote and you will realize that I said other consoles, PC is not a console.

 

Fair enough, IMHO that was a waste of money as TR wouldve done better on PS anyway. (like every other multiplat game at that time).  Even multiplat it still sells better on PS.

and no im not bitter because i didnt but either game. Would you have cared as much if the Order was an Xbox game and sold better than TR if the situation was reversed? 

Maybe in the future these companies could stop making silly decisions with good games. Dont matter how good a game is if you limit who can play especially to a platform that doesnt have the biggest fans for said game anyway...well look what happens
