snowkatt: squeenix expected cod level of sales
they over estimated the popularity and marquee value of tomb raide which dropped hard since the late 90's
only a few titles can match cod in sales and tomb raider is not among them
( mostly mario titles gta and possibly halo forza and gran turismo )
I haven't played it but from the videos I have seen I think what hurt sales is they tried to make it too deep, a bit like the second TR and Charlie's Angel movies. I'm not saying those were very deep movies but they were less free fun than the first ones. they over estimated the popularity and marquee value of tomb raide which dropped hard since the late 90's

Tomb Raider games should feel like mindless action movies, not psychological dramas.
