The PlayStation 3 version of Tomb Raider: Underworld has turned over a solid performance at retail, accounting for approximately 51 per cent of overall sales in the game’s first week.

The Xbox 360 version racked in 34 per cent of sales, with the DS, Wii and PC SKUs left to fight over the remaining scraps.

Underworld managed to stomp all over Anniversary’s first week performance sales, albeit only by 6,700 units.

    That's probably due to other quality games being released on the other platform and the PS3 having the least attractive line up this week.      i.e Left 4 Dead.

    This game has got the most mixed up reviews ive ever seen. Reviews and ratings from worst to best tells you that its really a game for fans for the series. Newcomers might not understand the purpose of the game as you have to explore and use your brain to advance or survive critical places.

    Personally (and long time Tomb Raider player) i love it. So detailed and beautiful, puzzles are cool (they not so hard), just feels like TR again. I rate it 8.5

    TR Underworld seems a good game but not great.

    Don't know why we have the much better Uncharted!! TR series hasn't been relevant since PS1.

    Tomb Raider is always relevant, simply because of what it did for the games industry. And without it, you probably wouldn't even have Uncharted!

     

    I have Underworld, and am thoroughly enjoying it. But having said that, Nathan Drake won't be handing Lara her crown back just yet.

    psn id: gingo... this is down to tomb raider always being an original playstation franchise which makes a difference, sure the popular GTA's were on ps2 but for a game to continue to do well o a playform it has to be on it from the beginning

    Good thing Eidos is releasing 360-exclusive DLC for this game, then...

    Wow. I wonder if Eidos will rethink their Xbox 360 exclusive-downloadable content? And @ 2: What on earth are you talking about?

    360 just got pwned.

    and @2 I agree with you, PSU forums are controlled by xbots, thats why I got banned :D  Yup, I'm proud of that.

    Also, the 360 version is gimped.  No dynamic lighting, or detailed shadows or environmental effects. 

     

    and left for dead is awful!  The AI is jsut dumb, you can stand right in front of a zombie for a good 5 seconds before it notices you.  I'm waiting for SFIITurbo HD for my 360 :P
