No mention of this figure for Shadow of the Tomb Raider in the actual earnings report.
I wonder if the author is confusing this with the number of all Tomb Raider titles sold during the period. From a January 22, 2019 press release: "TOMB RAIDER, which has sold over 67 million units worldwide... " From a March 5, 2019 press release: "TOMB RAIDER, which has sold over 74 million units worldwide... " Which is indeed a rise of 7 million, for all franchise titles. |

Hard to believe tbh. But then again not really with the amount of times it went on sale

From what I understood there was an increase of 7 million copies sold within the whole series, not just the Shadow title. Probably a lot of people were buying older games as well.
I'm sorry but I find it really hard to believe that Shadow sold 7 million copies alone. TR is a slow burner but even TR2013 struggled to get there and that game was pretty much universally praised (albeit controversial for the fanbase). I love the game but I find it hard to believe it sold so much in less than a year all things considered. And we all saw how many times it was on discount so I'm worried about the actual profit the game brought in, not just sales numbers. |

There are many Tomb Raider games out there and people buying them up could have increased that number to 7 million. If it's not in the actual earnings report then this Artical is wrong. Can't really assume that, especially since it's possible people were buying all sorts of Tomb Raider games. There have been multiple sales for the franchise as a whole and people could have been buying anything during that period. Last edited by charmedangelin; 13-05-19 at 18:30. |
