Disappointed the AC sales are so high tbh. Unity doesn't deserve it.
Congratulations on buying crap, everyone.
(Except for Far Cry 4. You're cool, Far Cry 4.)
Am I wrong in thinking that Watch_Dog numbers are weak.. didn't it launch close to 8 million so it only sold about 2 million for the reminding 6 months of the year?
Excited to see where they take Watch Dogs. It had problems but it has a lot of potential.
-Assassin’s Creed Unity won the prize for best “Character Animation in a Video
Game” at the Annie Awards.
I remember a couple months ago someone was saying that the AC series was dead because Unity and Rogue "sold so poorly." That vocal minority. If anything this should give the team at Quebec motivation for their fall release.It is kinda funny how we sit on here all day complaining about shit games like Destiny, Watch Dogs, Unity, etc., while the rest of the gaming world devours them and the devs that make them roll around in obscene amounts of money, hookers, and blow.
I'm disappointed at how well broken games continue to sell. I guess it's not a big deal to the mainstream buyers.
Good start for FC4. I hope it has legs and matches/exceeds FC3.

PS4\XB1 install base estimated at 28M at the end of 2014. Ubisoft expects the userbase to double by the end of 2015.
People outcried after Rayman went multiplat, saying how terrible Ubi was.
People outcried after Watch Dogs, saying Ubi were all liars.
People outcried over Unity, saying Ubi didn't know how to make a game.
People outcried over massive DLC transfer issues with Rocksmith, saying Ubi didn't know what they were doing.
People outcried over The Crew, saying it was too microtransactiony.
Yet all these games have sold moderately to very well. I don't think people are going to stop buying in.
We will see this exact same thing with [at least] The Division. And I'd say there's a shot we see some backlash aimed at Rainbow Six as well.
So they expect 2014 numbers, plus add in the ~6M start both consoles had in 2013. Buckle in, that will be a wild holiday quarter.
It went down by 1 million units in a transitioning year with split skus and poor quality.So Assassin's Creed is still on the down and out.
It is sad. Mostly because last year Ubisoft made everything on their power to be the worst videogame publisher in the world. And still they made tons of money by releasing broken games.
The worse is that now even more publishers are releasing broken games, first EA, now Ubisoft, MS, Sony, 2K, etc etc, the only exception seems to be Nintendo but I don't even play most of their games now.

They managed to ship 2mil worth of The Crew? WTF

That's got to make it one of the most resilient franchises in gaming.

I really hope that they don't take this as a license to put out more broken games and to have even more shitty dlc.... they probably will though.
Their next AC game is set in Victorian London, Sony is releasing not one but two different games set in that setting, the obvious thing to do would be to partner with Sony, (like they usually do, no idea why they went with MS this year), and market the game with Bloodborne and Order 1886 special outfits for the main character.PS4 %= 34%
XB1 =23% (and it was heavily bundled with 2 Ubisoft games)
That's really impressive for PS4. I don't know what's best for Ubisoft for their next AC. Partnership with PS or XB1?
What do you think, Gaf?

Nice that current gen is already over 50% of UBI's sales. Wonder what the tipping point is to drop last gen.
"To date, The Crew has recorded the best sales for the racing games released in
late 2014."
I love that part because it doesn't mean anything. Late 2014 could just mean December.
Yves Guillemot, Chief Executive Officer, said "In 2014, Ubisoft offered gamers the most diversified line-up in the industry, with titles such as Assassins Creed Unity, Child of Light, Far Cry 4, Just Dance 2015, The Crew, Trials Fusion and Frontier, Valiant Hearts and Watch Dogs
