the lack of any buzz around tomb raider cant be good for xb1 can it...
It got good scores. Not much can be done sitting in the shadow of Fallout 4.

Well if you are comparing it like that then yes xbox one is doing amazing lol
The "lack" of buzz doesn't exist. The majority of the fanbase has to wait to play it. X1 users are likely playing other games. It got stellar reviews, and everyone who does play it says its an improvement in all areas. It'll be fine, although I think PS4 version should have been 6 months right along with PC, that may end up hurting it. Hopefully its another 60fps definitive version at least.the lack of any buzz around tomb raider cant be good for xb1 can it...
Battlefront on the horizon gents. Fuck my life.
yup retail is gonna be crazy. Ur our best buy guy right? Should I wait to get an Ipad Air 2 they are on sale now at best buy.com but I wanna get it as low as possible of course.Fuck man. Midnight release, and then early mornings... Fallout doing very very well. Tomb raider doing... Okay, I guess, if I want to be nice. Seriously, what were they thinking...
Ugh though. So tired. And now our black Friday ads are posted. Maybe that will take some edge off.

Hang in there, Abdiel.Battlefront on the horizon gents. Fuck my life.
Thanks again Abdiel for the insight
"Tomb Raider and Fallout 4 don't share the same audience, so it'll do well" yeah..
I don't think Fallout 4 is the reason why Tomb Raider will not sell so well.
It's extremely rare for games to debut at 2+ million on NPD, Destiny had a massive marketing campaign and it barely did that.
[3DS] 100K
[PS4] 430K
[WIU] 72K
[XB1] 390K
I'm Crazy, I know! I just think the past 2 months of preorders on the Bundled Consoles, PLUS the $299 price this Black Friday, will be enough for a 40,000 Console Win for the month.
I wonder if FO4 will launch to bigger numbers then CoD....
Hey, donny, do we have an aggregate for the predictions yet? I'm interested to see if the PS4 or XB1 is ahead.

Because most of the audience for TR is on the PS4 lol.Thanks again Abdiel for the insight
"Tomb Raider and Fallout 4 don't share the same audience, so it'll do well" yeah..
That's definitely what it's looking like. MS completely priced their Tomb Raider and Fallout 4 bundles out of contention. Both bundles for $350 for a few days versus the Battlefront bundle, also priced at $350, but for the entire month.For what I'm seeing, all Xbox One bundle are receiving $50 price cut for Black Friday, but in PS4 case Uncharted bundle is the only with $50 off.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a very clear stipulation in their contract about when the game was to be launched. Especially since MS would have wanted something in Holiday 2015 and SE would not have any desire to launch Rise of the Tomb Raider on the PS4 in 2017.MS should have just pushed the game to January and marketed the hell out of it then. 3 months later QB is coming and a nicer flow to the bigger games. They didn't need to release the game now when they have Halo freaking 5 and Forza 6 releasing, as well as F4 bundles.

Should be launched with Uncharted 4, all the press cover surrounding this duel would put Tomb Raider in a bigger spotlight.

That's possible but March is a also a pretty damn massive month. Dark Souls, Hitman & Deus Ex all come out in March, doubtful that SE wants to release 3 AAA titles in the same month to compete vs one another. Probably the biggest month after November next year. I just think January can allow Tomb Raider no competition with heavy marketing to sell tons of games and some consoles. Again this is MS putting their stock in non-preseason time. -_-Should be launched with Uncharted 4, all the press cover surrounding this duel would put Tomb Raider in a bigger spotlight.
It really does feel like both MS and SE sent Tomb Raider out to die. Launching against FO4 was madness

Poster above me makes a good point about timeline stipulation. That's why I think MS should have brought SE to their offices and figured a better solution though, a way for both to flex the contract so both companies can benefit.
I thought it was March, my bad.Hitman is "Early Access" on March. There'll be no retail release until it's content complete sometime later.
Deus Ex is February.
It was really just meant to combat Uncharted 4.

Not for SE its not. Its to continue growing a rebooted franchise.
Something this game will struggle to do. It very well may never match its predecessor LT
You are crazy. Black Friday won't affect October's NPD results. Neither will the Black ops or battlefront pre orders.

I call bullshit on that notion, if SE were serious about that it'd be anything But an Xbox exclusive.
