What would you guess be for Tomb Raider in November NPD?
400k and 5th in the all formats list behind Blops, Star wars, Fallout and Halo would be my rough guess.


700k in november. 200k on  360 and 500k on x1.

700k on both is possoble but I don't think to that ratio.


Also 1.5m in the he US and 500k ww so 2million ltd and 400k ltd on 360. Now i know you think this prediction is to high but i think microsoft is going to give this the the ACU treatment and i think the game will have good legs.

You are way too optimistic.This game won't sell 500,000 total on Xbox and barely 1mil when it releases on the other platforms.The hype will be gone (not that it is high to begin with) and other games will continue to take all the attention.Forza is not selling that well,but you think a game that has sold less on Xbox in history will do great?lol

It's somewhat disheartening that 700K could be a "high" launch for a franchise like Tomb Raider, as if the world is pushing aside our old playthings.

SE made a mistake making it xbox only. And the release date. Also otmb raider will sell easily over 500k. Its actually doing good in the EU Amazon charts.

I'm not sure if they can give it the ACU treatment. It looks like they do not have the bundle rights to it in the US. My guess is that MS had a budget for the TR exclusivity, the bulk was taken up by the timed exclusivity. They then had to make a choice with the budget they had left to bundle it in the US or Europe and decided to push it Europe.

ACU is actually a popular game on Xbox and has a bigger fanbase compared to TR.The facts are not in favor of your opinion.

I agree, but it's still a sad sight.

How is it going to get the ACU treatment when the bundle is retailer exclusive? I don't see any indication that the RoTR bundle will become the base sku for Xb one for 6 or 7 months. I think there will be a lot of bundling of it, sure, but it will be ome among a number of bundles. MS certainly made a major head scrather of a decision to make the RoTR bunlde retailer exclusive. First they keep the game away from millions of gamers, then they tell people they can't by the bundle at just any retailer, you have to go to the retailer we choose for you. They've really made a hash of this exclusivity.

Didn't realise there was a ROTTR bundle in the US. The retailer would of paid for the exclusivity so what ever the retailer paid must of had more benefit than making the bundle availabe to every retailer.
