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".

PlatedMeat WTF?
Tomb Raider is good game
I've played the old ones like 200 times
Never played Hitman or Sleeping Dogs

I think that people don't play games like these because there is CoD


Bigger games to be played so most of the population will be playing the bigger games

Hoyt It's a shame, These games are some of the best we've had in a while.

If their was no CoD their would be better sales.
