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".

Gossip These are bad games anyways


Have you played any of them?
They are all good. Sleeping Dogs was the worst of the three, but I still play it at least once a week

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.

Poi_Jr Tomb Raider and Hitman Absolution were terrible. They should of ended the series a while ago.

Sleeping Dogs should of been a hit. I love that game.


Wow, have you never played Tomb Raider?
Are you sexist?
You must be. Tomb Raider was the first video game model that females looked up to.

Heck, I even look up to her
Best game ever made in the 2010+ decade so far


I think that he is high. Tomb raider is Effin boss.


More boss than me, and that says something. I want to meet the voice actor, as she did a fantastic job with the dialogue of this game. I am very relieved that the decided to rid of the older voice actor from "Tomb Raider: Underworld"


Yes finaly someone that agrees with me! You both are getting repped.
