People complain about ROTR not selling well but a important fact is this.

Sold 2.45m on the PS3 with a install base over 80m+
Sold 1.88m on the 360 with a install base over 80m+

ROTR sold 670k+ on the XB1 with a user base of over 18m+

Attach rate is higher on the XB1 then the last gens reboots.

The difference, those titles didn't launch during the holiday time and Tomb Raider was having to re-establish itself as a franchise at that point. Fast forward to Fall 2015 and the reboot had done its job and its sequel would have done much better as a full blown multiplat. 

Besides, attach rates don't really change the grand scheme of things. The PS3 saw plenty of games with better attach rates last gen. I don't know if ROTTR "flopped" or not, but that's not the best example to use.

We wont know for sure but judging from MS and SE, there happy with the sales, its also a game with legs, i can see it selling all thoughout this year. Could possibly sit on 2m soon.

The way the numbers are looking, if the XB1 had a user base of 80m, TR would probably be sitting on 5m+ going from attach rate of last gens reboots.

The game is not a flop, gamers need to remember that its alot harder selling a game to a smaller user base then it is on a larger user base. In this case, the XB1 has a higher attach rate then the 2013 reboot which means that the game is doing pretty well for a console with not even a 1/4 of the user base as last gen consoles.
