I guess he means sales wise. To put things in perspective, the first game sold 8.5 million across five platforms....(including the remaster on PS4/XB1)How is tomb raider irrelevant? Maybe we can argue that it won't push as many units as Microsoft would have hoped for, but calling the game irrelevant is
The last of Us which came out a few months later, sold over 7 million. It's over 8 million if you count the PS4 remaster. That's only two platforms.
TR being a XB1 release for now and sandwiched between all those BIG titles makes it "irrelevant". The quality of the game is another topic.
