How much did TR2013 sold at launch?
edit: Fallout 4 audience shouldn't overlap too much with TR but with less AAA releases than usual I guess people buy whatever the next big thing is.
This is what I fear. Hopefully not.
This first "week" is only 2 days though, right? (Stores being closed on sundays)
Did we expect this to sell better than the first one? The first one being multiplatform on a VASTLY larger install base and not going against Fallout 4?
I don't really think they expected to sell 150k units in the first 2 days in the UK, if so they got the wrong people doing their predictions...
Well considering sony themselves were saying that A lot of sony PS4 owners were 360 owners that never got chance to play Unncharted, and expected uncharted trilogy to do well. I would say that either uncharted is either a flop or Tomb raider did ok for launching the same week as Fallout, on a friday, compared to fallouts tuesday release.
Each to their own tho, I respect everyones opinion and it seems that a lot of poeple think it is a complete and utter failure for ROTR.
Lets see how it goes for the Xmas period I say
As a PS4-only player, I would have happily bought Tomb Raider while I waited for the Fallout bugs to be fixed. Instead, I just bought into the hype and got FO4. Just my two cents which may or may apply to others in the UK.
It's UK only tho, could be doing better in other regions?
Don't forget "all my friends bought digital"...
I wouldn't be surprised to see this game getting bargain-binned in the coming weeks.

Has an exclusive deal like this (locking a 3rd party franchise) ever worked actually?
There's variation in the specifics on the nature of the exclusivity, but I'd say GTA3/VC/SA, Splinter Cell, and to a lesser degree Titanfall were probably successful for all the involved parties.
Sounds pretty good numbers to me. aren't those 2 of sony's biggest franchises. like the Biggest franchises now?

From PAL thread
Looks like the exclusive deal was a dud?
Lock if old.
What a stupid comment. The game is well made, it selling poorly as a console exclusive on the weaker selling console against a multiplatform juggernaut means what, that it isn't a good game? What about when the PC release sells a lot and later the PS4? Will it be a good game then? FFS... Xbox One exclusives will sell less than third parties this Era. It's just a fact of the industry and the dwindling install base compared to last gen.
Not in PAL. the UK is the country where the Xbox is most popular in that region.
TR is not going to sell a whole bunch in EU until the game is out on PS4/PC
Single platform (looks like noone bothered about the 360 one) and two years in the generation opposed to 8 years in, with a much smaller installed base. I'm sure they were expecting this kind of numbers.
Releasing the same day as Fallout was a real terrible idea.
Is 183k on xb360 alone or combined with ps3 and pc?
That's a shame. Hopefully it sold much better in the US.
Did MS actually promote the game?.
I know launching on the same day as Fallout was a bit of a stupid idea
Are these sales numbers worldwide or just UK? Can't tell if OP meant the news source was in the UK or if it was sales in the UK.
Which makes you wonder what was MS' strategy here?
To get a well-reviewed exclusive in time for Christmas shopping season?
100k combined. XB1 sold 39% of it, hence the 39k.
XBox isn't most popular here. It's just doing well here compared to most places and PS4 is still beating it.
Bomb Raider
To get a well-reviewed exclusive in time for Christmas shopping season?
Not even slightly surprised. And I believe that the PS4 and PC versions will flop as well. It's a year old game when it comes out and people only remember "it didin't sell well on Xbone". DOA. I hope it's not RIP Lara.
