The 2013 reboot of Tomb Raider by Square Enix was met with significant success, selling 3.4 million copies in its first month. Yet, Square Enix deemed this a disappointment, raising concerns about the unrealistic sales expectations within the gaming industry. Fast forward to 2024, EA's Dragon Age: The Veilguard, despite being critically acclaimed and engaging 1.5 million players, may face similar criticisms amidst escalating costs and competition, illustrating a trend of unattainable targets in game sales evaluations.
"Square Enix called Tomb Raider's 3.4m first-month sales a disappointment, raising questions about unrealistic industry expectations for game sales."
"EA's Dragon Age: The Veilguard reached 1.5m players post-launch, a figure likely seen as a disaster amid rising development costs compared to past titles."
