Default [update] Tomb Raider ships 3.4m! Fails to meet expectation.

This is excluding digital sales!



Thoughts??

How much was their expectation? Thats stretching it. And its not even out for a month.


Quote:
Square Enix wished they had shipped:

Tomb Raider: 5 to 6 million

Hitman: Absolution: 4.5 to 5 million

Sleeping Dogs: 2 to 2.5 million

What was the expectation ?
3.4m is fine.
I don't really care for sales to be honest.
I only want the game to be something to enjoy/worth playing.

What does SE expect from a title released 3 weeks ago? Did they expect CoD numbers? TR did incredibly well.

Its expected shipments, might not be final shipments! This game should reach 7m at the end, like after the end of FY 14.

So has it beaten Re6's first month sales? If it has I've won a £20 bet. LOL

I guess they were expecting way too much then. The sales seem great to me, especially as Downloaded Units didn't count...

If the game doesn't seem to get the expected sales or bring some profit to SE, we might not be seeing a sequel.

The point of this thread is not the sales but this statement from SE:
