New Tomb Raider Sales Lead on PlayStation 3

SL1M DADDY - 388 days 7 hours ago

Cutting game content to use in later DLC is pathetic and since great developers like Naughty Dog didn't do this with Uncharted, Eidos will not be getting my money despite the fact that I own both systems and could buy it on the 360. Low balling like they do to the gaming community by backing MS's cheap shots at DLC exclusivity makes me an unhappy camper and I just cannot support it when there are other greater games on the market. I will just play through Uncharted again if I want my cave scampering fix met.

Regardless of what the 360 fans have to say about this, the people paying the bills at MS can't be happy to hear this. Just keep throwing the cash away MS.

The problem with the TR DLC is the same that GTA4's DLC faces: it's not free. The fact that you picked the 360 version over the PS3 doesn't automatically guarantee you the DLC. You already shelved out 60$ for the game and you still have to pay an extra 10$ for the DLC. Most people aren't willing to do so.

Anyway, I just can't wait for the comparison videos stating how superior the 360 version is (/sarcasm).

I thought the Ps3 fanboys were saying they didn't care about Tomb Raider anymore because Uncharted was better? Yet they come back with negative comments... pretty strange indeed! Could they secretly be saying they really did care?

Why would anyone buy those games if they have a different preference?

I'm still not fond of Tomb Raider but seeing 360 fans get on as if the DLC made a HUGE difference with the game and seeing Microsoft bragging about it truly cracks me up.

even though i think Uncharted trounces Tomb Raider, i'm no PS3 fanboy. still, i do think it's rather funny how Microsoft basically paid Eidos to slap PS3 owners in the face, and now it's all come back to bite the both of them in the butt. i simply am not a fan of either of the big three throwing around cash to beat the competition, at least not the way Microsoft has done it. the money they paid for this and the GTA IV dlc could've easily went into funding one of their in-house studios. i'm sure Eidos and Rockstar would've made their dlc multiplatform, until Microsoft offered cash to make it exclusive.

that for the most part consumers don't read reviews and don't have knowledge of extras on any one console. Tomb Raider started on the Playstation and I am sure most of the series fans are still with the Playstation... I am sure it's a decent game and I am also sure most fans of the series probably will be happy.

The buzz is that these titles will "never be released for the PC". I don't buy that even a little bit. Give it 6-8 months. Gears and Fable will go multiplatform.

First just embodied the definition of hypocrisy. He's never pointed the finger at a PS3 fanboy for saying, "Well, it's because we got _____." Now, when it's flipped, the 360 lost in sales because of Gears 2 and Fable 2 were more important. Hmm, I guess it does go both way, eh? Every fanboy does it.

PirateThom - 388 days 6 hours ago

Here's the thing, even if this game is crappy, one of the biggest flamebait points Microsoft execs have over Sony is software sales. It was only recently, for the first time, a PS3 version of a multiplatform game outsold the 360 version in the UK (PES2009 - and that was with a Microsoft backed advertising campaign for the game), now, only a month or so later, another multiplatform game (with 360 advertising) is selling better on PS3 in 360's last European "stronghold", where the 360 still has a 1 million lead.

Sorry F1rstKnight, but today is a bad day for you. You should just stop posting before you embarass yourself even more.

Saying the PS3 has 'no games' has been a falacy since early 2007. You really have to come up with something new...there isn't much though, so you're literally grasping at straws.

Its that you actually keep on trying though, lol.

Gears 2, L4D and Fable 2 you say?

Resistance 2, MotorStorm: PR, LittleBigPlanet, Valkyria Chronicles.

There, I listed one more game then you, I win.

If I do recall Bad Company sold three times as much on the 360 than the PS3. As do most of all FPS, and shooters in general.

Just so happens Tomb Raider is the closet thing PS3 users are getting closer to a Uncharted sequal.

I however just don't find intrest in this game period.

not really. It's quite accurate.

360 owners are playing Gears of War 2, Fable 2, superior versions of all the recent multiplats (Fallout 3 is a good example), enjoying all the goodies from the NXE all the while Sony owners (sux that I am one) are renting games like LBP and R2, sitting there waiting for Home and circle jerkin it to Lara Croft and the thought/hope that Sony might actually care for them, tell the truth and not be out for their money like the oh-so evil MS.
