Damn I missed this thread. I know GAF is against summary posts now, but could anyone PM me a summary of the information leaked? I see NPD George got some information out, but anything else?

yup. barely moved the needle on console sales and no one was playing it anymore by the time destiny launched. 6 month shelf life for a game that was hyped like crazy as the next big thing. really depends on your definition of success though. i think some people think of it in terms of sales and others mindshare.

Those other people also have warped expectations, too.
Titanfall was a success. It was big.
These type of posts are so strange to read. Sarcasm, right?

No it's bigger than that. MS just hasn't done a good job selling their brand to most overseas markets.
Sony with the Playstation brand has been almost perfect at that.

But yet a FF exclusive could actually create a more sales on one rather than two effect somehow... baffles me why they don't try it.
Hey Kagari, do you have any idea what SE expectations/sales goal for RotTR are?
I don't always come into the NPD threads, but when I do, I do it hoping for posts like this one.
My God, this is just too much.
There's more to this world that just UK(S).
Not specifically. I know part of the deal with MS was for them to buy so many copies for bundles - which we've seen. The other part I know is the marketing relationship soured a bit after the reveal debacle and is the main reason SE announced the release of the PC/PS4 versions so early.
I know that you're probably joking but I don't know why any PS fan would want this. Ever since they've started winning, Sony has been getting very lazy, imo.

Purty good but you should save that one when the sale figures are dropped.Nah, this looks better...

So basically it got RE4ed, but that game turned out to be quite successfull saleswise. So not all is lost, I guess.
That must be a low amount considering that the Tomb Raider bundle is limited to Best Buy and Ab said they got the short end with the bundle.
I had a feeling that was that was why SE revealed the other skus early (dat or low pre-orders)
It should do well on PC but on PS4 I doubt it considering what could be out at the time.

You guys should be asking NPD_George what's NPD's plan for tracking digital sales (if any) instead of trying to figure out who he is.

You mean these legs? https://twitter.com/VinceZampella/status/650096789979205632
Of course, that doesn't mean 10 million sales, nor does it mean 10 million on XB1.
But that's really great for a new IP on a new system (yes, I know it came out on 360 and PC).
People here have a weird perception on how games do, and it'd be really hard to argue that Titanfall was not a success.

Skipped leg day
My fear would be that SE abandon the TR franchise, in the past they set unreal expectations for their titles. Just hope that MS money eased the pain somewhat. If its not forgotten, could sell well once it hits PC/PS4 (and at different times to boot).
The ironic part is sounded like neither SE or MS wanted to release up against UC4, which subsequently got bumped until next year. If they had moved the release out of the shadow of Fallout 4 and Battlefront and released on all platforms this year they would have a few months grace period before the inevitable TR vs UC4 debate. Now releasing on the PS4 post UC4, (and assuming UC4 delivers) TR could be left out in the cold.
Post of the page! Well done...

The damage to the ip is already done and that's the problem in my opinion. Microsoft didn't pay enough to cover all the shitstorm.
Wow, I completely forgot about this game.
It's Tomb Raider. There will be more games.
I can only imagine that Crystal Dynamics/Microsoft underestimated the popularity of Fallout 4. That initial shipment is close to Call of Duty level.

The future where they actually make some money when it comes to PS4 and PC, and never sign a deal with MS again.

PS fans probably just want Sony to stay in the business.
Pressure from MS keeps them on their toes, which is good for consumers, but the last thing any gamer should want is Sony exiting the business.
slavesnyder

Well, not for both sides I can imagine.
Of course. I don't think Sony exiting the business is even a concern. I prefer having them at #2 though. PS+ last gen and free online was nuts. PSN worked better too.

It had nowhere else to go. If it went earlier it would compete against Halo. Later it would go against CoD and Star Wars. Going much earlier might not have been possible from a development standpoint. Going after Christmas means XB1 loses some of its 'exclusives for the holidays' marketing push and would start competing with Uncharted 4.
