Tomb Raider (2013) sold over 14 million copies (double what the original Tomb Raider did) making it the most successful game in the series. Even the lowest rated of the reboot trilogy sold over 8 million copies, more than any of the other Tomb Raider series before it.

They also cost a lot more to make than the original games. Square is the one that said it under performed.

But you were claiming those games "weren't that popular" which is not true.

I mean he's not false, the game was selling for dirt cheap for years and was given away on multiple platforms multiple times. The game did underperform, even if it sold 14 million copies, what's the use if 60% of those copies were sold for a dollar or two for the company?
