Judging by that sales chart, it's really disheartening to see that classic Tomb Raider could have continued and sold just as well, if not better. :/

I love CD and will be the first to preorder all their IPs with great excitement, but Tomb Raider just hasn't felt like Tomb Raider since Core was fired.

Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness PS2 - 1.25

Tomb Raider (2013)
PS3 - 1.16
XBox - 0.99
PC - 0.16
Total = 2.31

No, AOD didn't outsell TR :)

It outsold all of them individually on a single platform.

Any classic TR would outsell a Crystal Dynamic TR on a single platform. This is no news Melonie, Tomb Raider as a videogame franchise survives now because it sells to inumerous platforms, it can't compete with for example Uncharted in the Play Station platform (which is very ironic isn't it?).

These are the numbers for each main Tomb Raider title:

Tomb Raider: featuring Lara Croft - 1996 - 5.66 (PS, PC)
Tomb Raider II: starring Lara Croft - 1997 - 7.53 (PS, PC)
Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft - 1998 - 4.02 (PS, PC)
Tomb Raider: the Last Revelation - 1999 - 3.54 (PS, PC)
Tomb Raider: Chronicles - 2000 - 0.61 (PS)
Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness - 2003 - 1.25 (PS2)
Tomb Raider: Legend - 2006 - 1.52 (PS2, PSP, Xbox, XB, GC, DS, PC)
Tomb Raider: Anniversary - 2007 - 2.22 (Wii, PSP, PS2, Xbox, PC)
Tomb Raider: Underworld - 2008 - 3.24 (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PS2, DS, PC)
Tomb Raider - 2013 - 2.33 (PS3, XBox 360, PC)

And there are other additional titles such as Tomb Raider Trilogy and Tomb Raider the Prophecy.

I for one do not trust this list one bit :p

With the growth of the gaming community, I personally don't see why Tomb Raider shouldn't be outselling it's predecessors on individual platforms. More platforms means more development costs. Not that I'm saying Tomb Raider shouldn't be multi-plat, but comparing its sales on a variety of platforms to AOD on just one is unfair.

Financially speaking, AOD's ROI was much higher. There is something to be said about that.

Isnt vgchartz considered unreliable?... can we really trust those numbers?... and isnt vgchartz usually a few weeks behind as well?

Im looking at the console chart at the front page, and it says the 360 has sold more than the ps3... I read articles about the ps3 passing the 360 months ago...

No.

Bioshock Infinite has sold more than 3.7 million copies according to Take-Two.

Vgchartz has it at 2.13 on all platforms. Vgchartz is only reliable for old games that have been out for a long time.
