I think 175k on XB1, 25k on 360 (approx).

I wouldn't doubt this. Wasn't it already known the game would be Xbone exclusive for the HOLIDAYS?
The PC release has been said to be early 2016/ q1 I believe. So it could Coke out whenever.

29th January is a bit early so I don't believe it, will be Feb or March I'd say.
PS4 is November 2016, PC Q1 2016.

Not putting much stock in it, but they're likely close just by default given it's supposed to be out early 2016.
Probably want it out of the way of March at least since Square's Hitman releases then, not to mention Uncharted and The Division, and the latter half of February is kind of packed too. I can see April, but if they want to get it out sooner rather than later, I could see late Jan or early Feb.

Wonder how much it's sold in a month worldwide. We know US 200k, UK was 44k first week, then read after a few weeks was said to be 70-80k. I'd expect around 500-600k worldwide.

They said "early 2016" AFAIK.
Edit:
What's exactly wrong and bad with these numbers? These look good to me, idk.
There is no way that the rest of the world nearly doubled sales.
That is a very big drop.
300K probably.
Ah, Amazon France, the website that brought us listings for Killzone Shadowfall PC, Sunset Overdrive PC, Forza Horizon 2 PC, Bloodbourne PC and the entire Xbox One console as PC software.
Not that ROTR PC isn't gonna happen but yeah Amazon France is anything but a reliable source.

What do you mean by this? There is less action than the first game? that is disappointing if true. I was interested in it but if they took out action for other stuff I'm probably out.
Those are incredibly low sales for an heavily marketed AAA release.
200.000 in a whole month ? Woah.

Truth to be told, these pages are usually barebone with no informations. This one seems to feature a lot more informations.
The huge drop in both US and UK from Tomb Raider (2013) to Rise of the Tomb Raider look good to you?

"Heavily marketed" ?? lol
Comparing multi-platform reboot release with Xbox exclusive. (Both PS3 and 360 were huge when reboot was released, and Xbox One is not)
But nice try.
Sure -- "e.g." does mean "for example", after all.
What I'm saying is that while Amazon FR employees seem almost incapable of tagging a product correctly, I'm not aware of similar shenanigans with release dates (placeholders aside).chromatic9

UK must be on close to 100k after 4 weeks. We know US is 200k so I don't think another 100k for the rest of Europe is stretch even if the XB1 is not selling to well. Perhaps 50 k for rest of world, so that's 450k, I said 500k as a generous estimate. Around 400k is not crazy talk, please.

I just hope they don't rush it and churn out a shitty port. Tomb 1 was awesome in that regard.
You didn't say that, you said you would "expect" 500-600k.
Yes, that is crazy talk.
Heavily marketed?
That would require MS to know the game actually existed in the first place
There's around 2 weeks of December to add onto those US numbers too. I don't think ~400k is completely out of the picture but it's gonna depend a lot on how well it's done in December which we don't have the numbers for yet.

But they bundled it. And put it in their E3 video. And. And. And.
The deal must have gone sour somewhere along the way. It's the only thing that makes sense unless you want to think Microsoft was super incompetent.

I imagine piss poor sales get them out of their timed exclusivity contract. only way January makes sense.

The way things are going for ROTTR, it'll be $5 by the summer sale.
It was, unless you are simply trying to damage control those pathetic numbers. Multiple trailers, ads everywhere and the game was not going into market as unknown IP. I mean surely you were expecting much higher numbers than this, it was supposed to be a big title for Microsoft and thus far I would not label it as a box office hit.
Yeah, you know what they say about broken clocks.

Ah, good times.
Less than 20k is the number I saw thrown around

Not exactly sure of that. I think I read somewhere that it was targeting a March release.

It was marketed but far from heavily and you know that! Just look at the other AAA games and all the promo they got, ROTTR got like 30-40% of that. Far from heavily.

It's the PC release so not really. When the launch windows for the non-Xbox versions was confirmed it should have been evident that it was the PS4 version that MS most wanted out of the picture.
Edit: Essentially what I'm saying is that this is inline with what was previously announced so I don't think it's indicative of a clause that would allow an earlier release for the PS4 as well.

If it's sat at 450k after 4 solid weeks, that is not crazy talk if I said I expect 500k.

wait seriously?
It had a live competition http://www.polygon.com/2015/11/12/9724432/rise-of-the-tomb-raider-survival-billboard-xbox
More than Until Dawn that's for sure.
No, they wanted the pc version out the way as well, otherwise it would already be out.
