Tomb Raider: Underworld generated approximately 1.5 million sales at the end of last year, but that was not enough for Eidos. As a result, the company lowers its expectations for the next financial year and blame the unexpected "low" sellings to North American economy.

"In a difficult North American economy we have seen retailers restricting inventory levels and triple-A products being price discounted above our expectation." 

"We have passed our peak net debt position and we retain sufficient headroom within our committed banking facility but given revised profit expectations we may need to enter into discussions with our lending bank regarding our June 2009 covenants." 

Following the financial report, rumors circulate that Eidos has fired 30 employees from the developer Crystal Dynamics.
