Yep, combined. The reboot sold like 8 million and growing. |
I guess it depends on how you look at it.
I think TR2013 will vastly outsell RoTTR after the same timeframe, due to the terrible handling of RoTTR (release date, marketing, backlash, no PS3 version (hello Europe). But let's say it does sell 8M. UC4 will probably end up somewhere around 9-10M, and most of those will be full MSRP or close to it. TR2013 hit the high sales by being bargain-binned REALLY fast after release on PC first, and console soon after. SteamSpy had listings of 3.5M+ TR2013 owners on PC, and on Steam it was less than half price within months, and then $20, $10, and now $5. Additionally, the game came free with AMD GPUs for a period of time, and those deals in the industry are heavily discounted. It's impossible to know the details, but AMD probably paid less than $15 for the keys, and probably far less in reality. Subtract the 3.5M PC sales and you're looking at~4.5M on consoles (PS3/360/X1/PS4 combined). The falloff should be somewhere near 50% from TR2013 to RoTTR.
Add all of that up, and beyond simple unit count, which should favor UC4, in revenue there should be a gargantuan gap.
