Will Rise of Tomb Raider sell more on PS4 than PC/X1 combined?

I'm having a blast with Rise of the Tomb Raider on PC. No doubt, it's absolutely stunning, especially on my nice 1440p monitor. But the truth is, it will most likely sell a lot more on PS4. PS4 supporters are rampant and games like this tend to sell better on console. I'm predicting at least 2-3 million copies on PS4. What do you think, SW? Will it sell best on PS4?

LoL no

No, late ports hardly perform well by comparison to the original launches. The HYPE and excitement isn't as potent due to word of mouth, critics, and a general feeling of the product being older compared to brand new exciting products on the market.

It's been like this for many, many years which is the gamble of a late port. That said, there are rare exceptions that can upset the rule, but generally speaking, no this late port won't fare better than other late ports.

And PC Gamers are not fan of day 1 purchases so growth in sales on the long run is to be expected.

No, you're drunk.

TC just can't contain his inner sony fanboyism

Naaaaah...

Sold like trash on the Xbox, now year later port spells doom on PS4.

It will probably sell better than the Xbone version which flopped really hard but I don't expect it to do better than the PC version considering it's a late port and late ports rarely do well. CD and SE screwed up big time. If they had released it on time on PS4 I'm sure sales of the PS4 version would have eclipsed the PC and Xbone version like every other major AAA multiplat.

Nope. One year is too long for most people to care.

Pretty much this late ports perform poorly

@StrongBlackVine: Which is sad considering how brilliant the game is... doesn't matter what platform you play on for goodness sake, just play it!

Nope. Especially not when PS4 will have the vastly superior Uncharted 4.

Game is pretty mediocre, it won't sell well anywhere.

Nope, the game will sell badly on all 3 systems

I wish it would sell better on Ps4, the game is amazing and needs to be played by as many people as possible. Chrystal Dynamics deserves the money for this one.

After the shitty deal they made they deserve it to bomb. They knew where the majority of their fans were and still took the money and ran.

I don't know about that, I played it on pc so I waited as well as others, all I know is its a brilliant game, the best in its genre and people should play it.

Crystal Dynamics crippled themselves with this move because they thought they's be going head to head with Uncharted 4 last holiday, but instead they released only on xbox one and 360 to no competition in that genre. They would have won big if they also released on PS4 the same time.

There's no way this game is going to do well on PS4 now. After a huge current gen game like UC4 hits PS4 mid year the demand and appeal of Rise of the Tomb Raider, a cross gen game in the same genre a year old, will be all but invisible to buyers this holiday.

I understand the move they originally made and it's reasonable, but since it didn't work out like they expected they instead have missed out on the huge sales they would have gotten from PS4 fans in a period where no other big action adventure games were available. After UC4, demand for ROTTR will be slim to none on PS4...still I expect it to do better than it did on xbox one, but that's not saying much.

So Uncharted 4 is not good enough for you when it's coming this April? Late ports always lost there hype and Rise of the Tomb Raider sold well on PC anyway.

Does it matter if it doesn't?

says the guy who gets mad as soonest someone criticizes the xbox one.

If it has any chances of achieving that it's only short term. Long term PC version will crush it in sales, just like it was with first rebooted Tomb Raider, where PC sku sold over 4 mln copies and is still doing pretty damn well.

A million copies isn't "selling well". Tomb Raider used to be a blockbuster franchise that sold millions of copies on the original Playstation alone.

Do you have a link regarding the 4 million? Also, do you have statistics for how well it sold on consoles? Back then 360 and PS3 were split in the market. Now the PS4 is just dominating.

Likely since Larry Croft's Adventure is gonna flippity, floppity pretty hard compared to Lara Croft's Adventure. Just sayin. :P

Unless you're Resident Evil 4 (PS2 version outsold the GameCube version).

Only if it's $15 or cheaper, otherwise no force on heaven or earth could it sway PS gamers from countless of other AAA titles at the time. Why would anyone bother with TR when you have UC4, Deus EX, Mass Effect 4, Horizon, FF XV, TLG, new GT and even the new COD to play with? People's hard earned money will be more well spent you can count on that.

nope and thats good. im glad this game bombed in sales. maybe next time crystal dynamics (or any other dev for that matter) will think twice when doing timed exclusives deals with a platform thats selling like shit and whom's fanbase doesnt even buy games on.

*points at sunset overdrive and tomb raider*

So anyone else think that RoTR will be the worst selling of the reboot Tomb Raider series in general?

I doubt it. It'll be an old game by then.

Whoa you really have bought into sony's bullshit

It didnt sell well on the X1. So I doubt it will sell well on the PS4

@CWEBB04z: it sold over a million on xbox I call that doing good

Actually no... I just don't like stupid, troll-baiting threads that unfairly bash any console, like those created by dimwits like you.

Okay it's not a bad question.

PS4 is the big selling console here and now. But it loses out on any console owners who have more than one console/PC who really wanted the game. I have PS4 and PC. I bought it on PC because why wait? Get the best version there and then. And that's the problem here.

I think it should sell pretty well and justify it's release. I hate the fact that it was "timed exclusive" (I have made my point about why that concept is bollocks and to no ones benefit here) but I do want the game to do well so they release more good games.

Hopefully, they will release it for cheaper than the competition in light of it's timing which should help. Either way, the more people that get to play this game the better for everyone. Console/timed exclusive my arse.

Doubt it. Late port and the PS4 is going to have a lot of great games this year it'll have to compete with...finally.

have to go with what everyone else is saying.

and to be honest, I'm not buying it either until it's $15

I think it will outsell the Xbone version. Doubt it outsells the Xbone and PC combined.

Naw, its a year later. I'm going to buy it though where I rented it on X1.

Doubt it, but I do hope it sells well on the platform.

Not if strongblackvine's ring sting is any indication lol

this comment pretty much proves what I just said

@thepclovingguy: Likewise.

No, for starters delayed ports already are at a disadvantage on account of being late.

Also, cows were pretty salty about Xbox One getting timed console exclusivity, they'll probably just ignore it out of spite.

I'm not buying it till I find it in some used bargain bin. They won't see a cent from me.

No. They made a terrible mistake. Could have if all three platforms would have released at the same time though.

This ^ ^ ^

Yup.. I feel the same way about Street Fighter V & Shenmue 3. How ironic.
