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.

Again, you're neglecting digital sales are more relevant now on consoles then just a few years ago. As I stated before, TR2013 didn't launch digitally on the 360. It came months later. $60 games are now big numbers digitally and all are launching on day one. It possible RotTR sold a couple hundred thousand units digitally when you consider more popular games like Halo 5 and Uncharted 4 may have sold over a million digitally.

Simply for comparision sake you should have noted crossplat sales of RotTR are way above TR2013 on 360 alone. Worth noting given both of those versions launched the same day.

But how much more relevant are they? It's pure speculation and it's not like TR 2013 didn't sell anything digitally after it became available digitally, and it also has been available digitally for almost two years longer, also I am NOT comparing ROTTR all platform sales VS TR2013 X360, it is not the point of this topic.

I am discussing how TR2013 on Xbox 360 is not selling at the same pace as ROTTR on Xbox One in the long run and how deceiving it can be if you don't take the first holiday sales into consideration.

Please don't use digital sales as a shield when those numbers are just pure speculation, who knows how much TR2013 has sold in digital...
