Glad PS4 sold more this November. Let's see how wide the gap can get by next year.

E3? Gears 4 was announced on the biggest stage Microsoft has and was met with a collective shrug.
Crazy month, I guess it's time to add the Holiday season to the pre-season calendar. Only Halo launch months count.
Amazing tag, Chobel. Pity we don't have a timeline of your bets.
Well deserved. Captain Toad is awesome

Captain Toad is a great game, actually!!! One of the best on Wii U. Deserved even more.
It really is, and also $40.
Still.
Still.
I loved Captain Toad! But it is Nintendo's "hey, let's make this smaller game and put it out there!" thing, and it didn't have a single TV commercial AFAIK.

I don't know why people think Tomb Raider would have been some runaway success if it were on PS4. The game still probably wouldn't have charted or just barely. No one was dying for a Tomb Raider, especially one releasing smack dab in the midst of Fallout 4, Battlefront, and Black Ops 3. Release window killed it more than exclusivity.
Any evidence?
The last bit of data we have is 2:1 sales on the Definitive Edition.

I don't give a shit if it's your favorite game of all time, honestly, because my comment wasn't even about quality.
It's an abhorrent TOMB RAIDER game that destroyed a true original for checklist game design nonsense that I could play in thirty five other games every year.
They could have called it RETURN OF THE LADY WARRIOR and gave it no relation to Tomb Raider and no one would have gave a shit. They made their bed, now as an OG TR fan I have a right to dance in the fuckin' rain over seeing it crash and burn. As it is my only shot at ever seeing a return to the glory days of what the franchise was always about. This shouldn't bother you one bit.

At the very minimum, doubling it's sales and doing much better in the EU would have been a much better result then whatever it's doing right now.

Wanna bet you won't get it back?
Yep the demo at E3 wasn't particularly impressive but it was probably rushed for the show and the game wasn't ready to be showcased.
I wouldn't make any judgement until next E3.
I thought that the Uncharted 4 demo at PSX 2014 was pretty disappointing as well, and yet ND was able to floor everyone with their set piece demo last E3.
I don't think the design had much to do with it though, at least in comparison to the deal / release date.
I think you should make a bet and if you win you get it back.
Yeah I mean that's a pretty big deal.
Why this is always downplayed I have no idea.
Nevermind.
Probably because many couldn't see what was going on (haha).
But no, the game has hype. It was one of the most popular series introduced last gen. How the game will do in comparison to previous Gears games is a different story though. I would expect it to do better than Judgment at least.

The first-party grow % is funny too because well Halo 5...
Honestly, I have no words and I'm not even going to dignify your posts with a continued discussion.

Well yeah, but it still would have been a sales disappointment. Tech Times says it sold 330K opening week, but I don't know where they got their numbers from. Chartz (I know) said a little over 500k for the month. If all this is close to right and the Definitive Edition metric holds (which I don't believe it would have) you're looking at 1.5m for the month. Bottom of the list at best, no?

And for some reason it's august-november. I thought pre-season didn't count?

100% understand and agree with you. TR 1-4 on PS1 are best TR games for me. I hated later iterations on PS2/360/PS4, there are nothing like OG TR games.

It's your right to not like it, but to say you're happy it bombed is pretty harsh. I personally loved ROTR and like the direction the series is going.
To wish a game bombs seems a bit childish and selfish.
But what happens if he loses again?
It will be interesting to see how it tallies up.
Say it does 250K more on PC (where's the marketing at?), and 250k on PS4 next Fall (@ $40). Plus 150k additionally for Xbox One.
Lets say it also does 200k more worldwide. We're looking at 1m-1.5m, 2m on the generous side.
Ouch.
I hope this turns into another amirox infamous quote.

Well, people seem genuinely happy Tomb Raider bombed, and things didn't work out well for people who spent years of their lives working on a fantastic game. Nice thread.

They are using incorrect numbers. And opening at 1.5 million would put it #4 on the list. That's way too high of a number for the series.
I really like the game, but maybe you guys should let him have his opinion on the Tomb Raider series, no?
Like it or not, CD DOES cater to checklist-gaming, and that's abundantly clear by some of the additions they made to RotTR like a pointless shop and quests that are exactly like Challenges, but instead called "quests".
The game was lovely, and I wish it had sold more and disagree with him. But I'll defend his right to disagree, because it absolutely DOES feature some of those things that he apparently does not like at all. The criticism is not unfounded, we just disagree with it.
Oh, please.

Just the general idea that a great game bombed, for whatever reason, and people being HAPPY about it, is just sad.
It's the darkness in an otherwise great light of news (both consoles did amazing).
