Yes, and? Do you even understand what I'm talking about? 

 

So, Black Ops 3 and Battlefront were discounted, so the TR discounts didn't affect the game's "amazing" sales and profitability?

 

Wut? 

 

You seem to misunderstood, but I will let you figure it out.

I think his logic is that since Black Ops 3 and Battlefront were also on sale during Black Friday, and elsewhere during the holiday season, that this somehow means that TR sales aren't actually so bad, or that the sale prices are as much of a non-factor in TR's sales as they on on BLOPS3 or SWBF.

However, this completely ignores the fact that of course Black Ops 3 sold over 4.5 million copies on X1 and Star Wars: Battlefront sold over 2 million copies on X1, and neither of those are a) exclusives, or b) better experiences on X1 than they are on PS4 or PC. So personally, I don't really see how this is in any way makes Tomb Raider's sales look better. If anything, they make it look worse.
