Square Enix reveals latest Lara Croft title, Hitman: Absolution, and Sleeping Dogs all underperformed.

As part of its latest financial earnings report today, Square Enix announced that three of its big-budget titles failed to reach their sales targets.

has sold 1.75 million units since its summer launch.

These figures do not account for digital sales.

Square Enix said despite a "high critical acclaim" for each title, sales still came up short. In particular, the publisher called its North American sales force "ineffective," noting that title sales in this region made up just a third of the number of units sold in Europe.

Another reason each game failed to meet sales expectations, Square Enix said, was due to price pressure being "strong." This forced the company to spend additional capital on channel costs like price protection.

Square Enix president Yoichi Wada announced his today amid an "extraordinary loss."

RipTen writers: "I enjoy events like PAX because I see all sorts of crazy things and that grants me the opportunity to ask off the wall questions. If you see a food court filled with a few hundred people and only four tables its perfectly fine to ask why not go with two tables? If you see a life size statue of Lara Croft outside the Square Enix booth for Tomb Raider its almost rude to not inquire how much? So, I did..."

Tomb Raider's been out for a while now, but the game remains the focus of some attention online, thanks in large part to an on-going scrap over just how successfully it emancipates Lara Croft after a decade of jeering objectification.
