As you know, Eidos is disapointed by TRU poor sales. They expected something like 2M sales, the game sales are at 1,5M right now. So they tried to figured out what happened. The game sold pretty well in europe, but in the US, sales are quite low. According to Eidos, it appears that american women didn't like this tomb raider, and believe it or not, girls usually like TR games. So, Eidos said that the next TR will be more "girl-friendly" and that crystal dynamics will only be working on the TR franchise in the future. http://www.jeuxvideo.com/news/2009/00031184-les-femmes-n-auraient-pas-aime-tomb-raider-underworld.htm

So they didnt like it because good ol lara is hotter then them or what? how silly...

I don't know if the problem is about lara herself or about the game itself. I think it's the game itself cause the actual lara is much more "human" than the older one.

^- Lol!! they must all be uncharted bias. :P

What kind of "American women" are we talking about?

Are we talking about women that don't play video games or ones that have played the games and just don't enjoy them?

Tomb Raider will now wear a big fluffy sweater confirmed

and suit pants

Eidos its time to turn Lara Croft into a guy and wearing those same skimpy clothes and watch those sales soar!!!! >_o

1) that would piss off ALOT of dude fans and long-time lara fans, lol.

2) We already have an uncharted 2 coming out this year. :D

Pff, how many women play videogames anyway? Specially Tomb Raider games? Not enough to make a difference, that's for sure.

Well it appears that a lot of women like TR games (you know girl powa ...). Maybe the game's too dark for em?
