A few things...

RotTR also launched on 360 and its a good port. It accounts for about 400K of physical sales.

Digital sales wasnt as relevant in 2013. In fact, TR2013 wasnt available digitally at launch on 360. So youre comparing physical only launch to physical/crossplat/digital launch.

Hence, its RotTR on 360, X1, plus digital numbers VS TR2013 on 360 and physical only at launch.

Circumstances are very different between the launches of both titles. We dont have all the numbers so this thread doesent show the whole picture.

Exactly.

I'm not taking anything away from ROTTR, just explaining why for example your statement that ROTTR is selling at the same pace as TR (X360) is misleading.

And one other thing: it is ROTTR on XONE VS TR2013 on X360, I'm not taking into account other version sales because that's not the point. Also your claims that digital is now significantly more popular than 2,5 years ago is questionable (Steam is now how old? 12 years? PSN almost 10 years and Xbox Live even more.) but a topic for a different discussion.

The point is: that we will see a sudden rise in favor of TR2013 because of the holiday season bumb while ROTTR won't because it used up that advantage already.

The whole reason I'm comparing those cumulative sales with these titles on these platforms is because if you only look at the numbers and what each title had sold at this time, it would seem that ROTTR on XONE would have identical sales all the time compared to TR2013. 

Anyways thanks for the inspiration for this topic.
