Tomb Raider is coming off a game that sold 8 million. its sales are greatly disappointing to say the least.

8 million in what time frame and on how many consoles, banana? Also, how many copies do you think they would've sold if not exclusive? Definitely not 8 million.

I see the comparison you want to make but seriously, the comparison is off. We know that it would've sold more on PS4 and it would've sold more if not exclusive but we don't have to stretch comparisons to make it look even worse.

the comparison isnt off because its a sequal to the game that sold 8 million. in fact my comparison is the most valid one, since i am directly comparing it to its predecessor.

the 2013 game was a reboot for the franchise, its purpose was to build a new foundation and build a new fanbase, some of them being from the old TR fanbase and some new to the series. it was a slow burner relatively. but it managed to amount to a fanbase of 8 million. the sequals launch sales should be considerably higher than the reboot, and when all is said and done its sales should be higher as well. a sequal to a game that sold 8 million, should be able to reach 10 or 11 million. thats a reasonable growth. but here we are, with some celebrating a measily 1 million sold during in the first two months, those two months being the holiday mind you. 

The new 200 million+ fans?

When will people understand that it is very unfair to compare current and last gen sales when we are one third into the race?

You can call bomba when there are at least 100 million current gen consoles on the market...
