Wow, this thread about nothing but speculation is longer than the TR OT. Well I'm loving the game, the two black sheep of the year AssCreed Syndicate and RotTR are neck and neck for my goty.
-sigh-, I dunno, man. That's only if that percentage owns xbones in the first place though.I'm sorry for making this joke, Artisan
But what does that add up to when you include the 1% of China?

when did you get your name
Bundles.
With the last few games getting marketing push with Xbox and this being released first on Xbox I feel Tomb Raider is more synonymous with the Xbox brand than PS, and I grew up with the PS1. MS best bet is to keep at it and next time support TR ground up on the XB1. I feel cross gen is to blame for initial lacking sales.
Bundles.
Yeah. UK not even getting the bundle is insane. That's prime Tomb Raider territory.A bundle that is limited to one major retailer and not available in all markets?

I'm assuming you'll actually play it first though?I haven't played ROTR, but this year hasn't especially impressed me, so I'll probably give it my GOTY #1 ranking. It deserves the vote.

When we get to the point someone mentions "family sharing" the thread has jumped the shark.

of course. I was just going along with it.C'mon, I know better and I know that by now you have long known better. It was just the thing to perpetuate the zany numbers joke. The first reply to that post was gold, just as I expected it to.

You said that with a straight face.. those 2 games over Bloodborne, Witcher 3, Metal Gear Solid 5, or Fallout 4? I know it's opinion but neither of those games are on the level..

The idea of a third party exclusive was much different then than it is now, the market has changed dramatically. There's a reason why they rarely exist anymore. Seriously when was the last time a big publisher made a single console-exclusive game that wasn't moneyhatted? I can only think of PC stuff like Anno or The Sims 4.

And this is why you shouldn't try to alienate the market.
MS did the same thing with jrpgs last generation, and it ended up in disaster, it took the genre a lot of time to recover from that, and some devs never did

Think I've heard it all
Japanese developers put titles on a console that did not have the audience for those titles. Many of these titles were released due to money hats. It severely damaged the jrpg market last gen. It is recovering this generation. It is what it is.

I guess when you've got 5 times more page views than sales you drain the old sales talk well dry.Suddenly a sales thread becomes a Goty thread...?
Sony also priced themselves out of creating a userbase for the genre when those titles were released.

It's about the whole holiday line up. Not a weekend sprint. But a q4 marathon. We will know if it worked in a month or two.

Alternatively, I'd argue it should be about the year-long marathon, not the Q4 sprint.

I thought this game came out like a year ago. Heard nothing about it recently.

I dunno, maybe? Depends on Boxing Day sales.
This year has been kind of a disappointment on every front.
Except Until Dawn.
Never mind, Until Dawn is my GOTY.

Another one of Greenberg's pearl of wisdoms - which was actually a two-parter from a previous quote wherein he said more consoles are sold November&December than the rest of the year combined.Good point hawk. Microsoft's focus on this specific two or three month window and their mockery of 'pre-season' is really dumb IMO and I find it a little distasteful.
You know who said:The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One sold cumulative more than 4.63 million consoles to end users between January 2014 to October 2014. For the holiday season (November and December) the PS4 and Xbox One sold cumulative more than 4.43 million units.

Game fell off Twitch and have not heard anybody even talk about a Tomb Raider since it launched, next NPD should be the most interesting one to end the year

So, a game has to be on twitch to be successful now? lol. holy fuck. But funny thing is i've been on twitch a lot these last two weeks and it's been on there. And i just checked, it's on there right next to MGS at 5:58 in the morning eastern time.
This thread is fucking terrible.
