Square Enix reveals expected shipments for Tomb Raider, Hitman. 2/3 sales in Europe
They expected Hitman to do as well as Tomb Raider?

Oh man @ Metascore.
the game was 4-5 years in development, announced in Dec 2010! large marketing, it's clear that it had massive budget, it's underperformed in relation to expectations, typically 4-5m seems to be a 'popular' expected target by big publishers.

Did they ship 3.4 million units of Tomb Raider or was that just their target that they failed to meet?
Everyone needs to buy Sleeping Dogs!Sleeping Dogs deserves much, much better sales than the other two.

It's amazing that so many game reviewers hold such importance, especially when considering the fact that the vast majority of these reviewers are incompetent at properly analyzing and critically reflecting on the games they are supposed to assess.
