According to a chart detailing the break down in sales for the Tomb Raider franchise, the first game is still the most successful, with sales of over seven million units. Of the more recent entries in the series, TR: Legend has sold somewhere in the region of 2.5-2.6 million units, while TR: Underworld sales stand at 2.4-2.5 million units.
Of its other franchises, Hitman has proved the most successful, with lifetime sales of over eight million units. Kane & Lynch has shifted just shy of two million units, the two Deus Ex titles combine to reach sales of over two million, while Just Cause has accumulated over one million unit sales.
