Tomb Raider, Hitman Absolution and Sleeping Dogs miss sales targets

4.7
Square Enix said today that major console release during its current financial year failed to live up to internal sales targets.

European and US Tomb Raider, Hitman Absolution and Sleeping Dogs sales were described as "weak", particularly in North America.
By the end of the publisher's financial year on March 31, 2013, the games are expected to have moved 3.4 million, 3.6 million and 1.75 million units respectively outside of Japan and excluding digital sales.

Square Enix didn't reveal its internal sales targets for the console game trio, each of which was generally well received by critics.

Earlier today the company announced the upcoming resignation of president Yoichi Wada as it downwardly revised its profit outlook for the current financial year and revealed plans to "implement major reforms and restructuring in its development policy, organizational structure, some business models, and others".

UMP I gotta say they ranked this in the correct order, Tomb Raider being #1 of course.


Oh hell yeah. Tomb Raider was easily the best out of all of them.

Odd, i heard that these games sold a very large amount, i guess they didn't sell so hot.

tomb raider and hitman you can kinda see why cuz the fan base is lacking in recent times from what it used to be but sleeping dogs. with so much talk about it and every one buying it cuz gta5 was taking so long, i would have thought the sales were differnt

Yin If Sleeping Dogs had some crime you could take care of after the game was over (like True Crime: Streets of LA had) it would have been amazing in my book. The game was just too short and didn't have those infinite, random events after the game was over. I can't say anything bout Hitman. It's not my type of game. Tomb Raider looks sweet though. I still need to play it. I wasn't a big Tomb Raider fan until I saw this one. I love the realism they put into it and the character.


I agree with you about the sleeping dogs thing

-Refocus I loved Hitman, and really want to try Tomb Raider but Sleeping Dogs I really haven't heard anything about.


Sleeping dogs is pretty much the fighter version of GTA4
