I haven't been following this.
So are people apparently gleeful that TR tanked because they don't like the new TR? Or is it the XB1 timed exclusivity? Both?
For what it's worth, I think the game tanked mostly because of the other games coming out. Even if it had been released on both platforms, I think putting it out amongst Fallout, COD, Star Wars, and Halo was suicide.

To be fair to Microsoft, we haven't even seen how Uncharted will sell on the PS4. We can assume it will kill but that doesn't mean it will. If anything, Microsoft may need a The Last of Us killer. A sequel to that game is going to do monster numbers.
Well, Battlefield 3 did get to 17 million LTD so it's certainly not a bad start.
That said I think their more reserved 13 million prediction is more realistic.

PS4 sales are strong. Huge month.
More than 200k
Let me double check.

In the US? Well damn it did better than I remember.
You're forgetting Europe plus bundles plus digital sales.
0% chance of happening before the end of the year. It would have to sell at Wii levels to get there.

So I'm still baffled at how Just Dance 2016 managed to chart, with the Wii coming out on top? Like WTF is up with that; how are games on that system still selling?

What? uncharted 4 isn't even out yet to compare sales.

Copied someone else's pancake recipe
That's not terrible and that's new copies at US retail only. Remember that the game got PS4 and Xbox One ports as well the following year as well a Mac OS X port and visibility on Steam. It climbed up to 8.5 million units, a franchise peak.
It didn't do that well in the US if Zhuge is telling the truth.

There are 9 tombs in the game, so 1 million divided by 9 would be 111k, but it's over that, so expect a bit higher. MS would have to pay a lot to compensate for all the lost sales. The handling of this game will be remembered for years.
<200k for Tomb Raider...
I wonder if there's an escape clause, like Square Enix paying a small penalty to break the contract.
Afterall at this point Microsoft has more to gain by keeping a good relationship with the publisher for the future than it has by keeping this game exclusive.

It is a bomba on Xbox. It won't even hit a million in the first month. Lower profile games like Bloodborne and inFAMOUS SS did that in two weeks or less.
I don't know how much people are gleeful about it rather than everyone is just making fun of Microsoft and Square Enix for an obviously horrible business deal.

Not in the fall.
Nobody is gleeful. If anything we're pissed because it could mean the end of a very promising franchise.
Down, of course.
For Tomb Raider, the game quality is good, but the release strategy was incredibly stupid.
It launched on the second place platform in a month where game #3 sold 2 million copies, despite being in a genre which isn't exactly at the top of the charts this generation (or even getting made that much anymore).
Their best bet is to try selling the game at bargain bin prices to get it to as many people as possible so they're still positive about the next game due to the quality bar, though they might also have to adjust the game to match today's (and presumably tomorrow's even more intense) open world madness.
This is quite an unfortunate follow-up to a game that shipped 8.5 million units and already executed the bomba pricing strategy to build the audience for this one.

He mentioned a similar statement before E3.
Never forget.
Some people embrace being wrong about everything. He probably still think he's better than you.
Ditto.
Never forget.
This guy is always wrong and that article I'm sorry to say this but it's moronical.
