Preys-World - Eidos Releases Lara Sales Figures

Over at Kotaku Eidos has released the sales figures for the Tomb Raider games from 1996's original to last year's Underworld. To find out that the games are still clearing a million is, in the current climate, good news for the Square Enix imprint.

Much like the shift from analogue to digital television, the record of 8million copies for the original game will be extremely difficult to recreate in modern times. Digital downloading is currently, for the PC market anyway, replacing the boxed retail budget edition of a game, so that will distort the figures. Only Guild Wars at 6million and Call of Duty and World of Warcraft have recently come anywhere near, or surpassed, 8million original copies sold in recent times, and there is still piracy to contend with.

Nevertheless, it's nice to see that the series has established its own line like a franchise of successful films.
