Pretty impressive it sold better in Europe. Not terrible numbers, but I am getting the impression Assassins Creed may finally be on the backslide. Hell, the Uncharted Collection sold nearly as much and it's a resmaster on a single console.
my personally opinion: i hate this game. story is boring, characters zZz. "unity" has more details than syndicate. for me, that sucks. the end of "AC syndicate" is a joke. its no real assassins creed. R.I.P.
A flop... at least for AC.
How about they call the next one Assassin's Creed: Diminishing Returns.
Maybe we will finally stop having yearly releases of AC and we can have better thought out titles in the series. Also, maybe Ubi can start something different now.
not bad for a "dying franchise".
I'd like to know how many of the remaining 150k copies were sold in Italy since AC is a pretty popular series over here. Still it's a shame that it managet to sell this well despite the problems it caused, don't get me wrong, the game is WAY BETTER than Unity, but it still isn't a polished game
I see this game in many game stores pre used for 30-40 euro already, the sales won't be good now, many people bought bundles and sold the game and so on, AC is on a big dicline as is ubi soft as a studio.
VGC should call it "first 2 days of sales", not "first week" I think !
Think it will have legs due to better word of mouth. Many were waiting (I did)
Is that a lot? Didn't that Starcraft expansion clear a million in a day?
Seems like this is respectable but not as high as might be expected from the franchise.
I'm no expert but to me it looks like Sony's partnership with Ubi on AC series has been well worth it with this title
May have more to do with the installed base.
