I can easily see 10-15 mil of copies in a few weeks, if they also have a switch2 version ready, you can probably add another 10-15 mil copies.
Probably the best selling game of 2025 by a long shot if you don't consider gta6.
I don't think shadows or sushima 2 are gonna have the same numbers.

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
I pity the poor bastards that shelled out £70+ in advance a couple of months ago even more now.
People still won't stop pre-buying shite that's nowhere near finished.

This is disappointing. I'm all for them taking the time they need, but realistically what are they thinking they can achieve in, what? 3 months I think? Which includes the Christmas break?

My apologies for the delay
They have either lied by omission or as I've said straight up lied about the situation in Japan, from the so called Japanese expert who it turns out came from Sweet baby Inc to the lying to shareholders about the positive reception of the game, to the fact that they fell back on the "well it's a fictional game guys" when the release trailer stated otherwise regarding Yuskue and whether or not he was a samurai or even black lol
This gentleman doesn't seem to have a political bias and is just a bi-lingual Japanese gamer, he covers it fairly well
Here's the thing, I don't really care how this game turns out, I find the AC line to have become mindlessly dull (like most of Ubi's work sadly) but show some professionalism, admit you fucked up apologize A REAL FUCKING APOLOGY none of this backwards but guys its fiction shit and move the hell on!

Guaranteed next time they show off the game they’ll show more of the Japanese female co-lead, and also try to promote some Japanese history and art or whatever to try to make the game more culturally accurate.
Just watch.

Game is probably a buggy mess.
So with all the shit they got about the treatment of Japanese history they probably don't wanna combine that with absurb bug-fest videos on the game saturating YouTube on launch week.

LOL diversity my ass.I'm sure the incredible development team is going to use these 3 months to their fullest and completely improve every fuck-up they did in the past 7 years of development on the game

Game is made at UBI office in Quebec City. Demographic check says the city is 90% white, 4% black and 6% other background.
The Quebec City metro area is about 800,000 people and the number of Japanese people is estimated at 500.

Can you pull up the source for this? I'm pretty sure I saw at least 3 or 4 male heads of development in the last dev diary or making of BTS.

Delaying it to a little over a week before Monster Hunter Wilds releases ensures Monster Hunter will kill it. Dead on arrival.

LMAO now all Sony has to do if they want to do an assassination of their own is announce Ghost of Yotei is also releasing in February
They won't, it's probably planned for late 2025

This exactly. Would you dare speak out against a black protagonist during Black History month? This delay is strategic.

I saw this pic yesterday when I googled ubi Quebec employee photos. That pic isn’t an ass creed shadows pic. That was one of those corporate women in power kind of photos. There’s also other ones I posted yesterday but you can find them in google unless ubi deleted them the past 24 hours.

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
There are cherry-picked photos of Ubisoft Montreal when they gather all their female employees together for a Women's Day celebration or promote women in tech.
Here are a bunch of them on Google Images.

Many “Whelps”! Handle It!
Yea it seems like some kind of cherry-picked photo from some event when a company is celebrating their women employees. For example, Ubisoft as a whole, according to their website, is only 25% women. And of course a game this size, even done by one studio (Quebec), would have way, way more people working on it.
Just outrage bait.

Ubisoft's Board is Launching an Investigation Into The Company Struggles
It has been announced that Ubisoft's Executive Committee and Board of Directors will launch an investigation and review of the company.

I wonder what it could be that’s causing these failures? It couldn’t be the Dev team, they were obviously hired based on talent and skill, because why wouldn’t you hire based on those merits. It couldn’t be the inclusion of social issues, because everybody loves being reminded of that at the end of the day when they want to relax and escape reality for a while. Probably nothing to do with ignoring fans or gaslighting an entire culture. What the fuck could it be? I don’t think they’ll find anything.

News - Ubisoft is quitting Tokyo Game Show 2024
. All I know is they have sales constantly which makes all of their games very cheap very fast. Yes, because the games are thrash…

Can't wait for ghost of yotei to come out and fuck this games world up. The only thing ubisoft understands is money; i know that sounds trite but besides embracer they seem like they have no depth to their greed.
Man I hope ghost comes out in March. I bet ubisoft is begging ps not to release it early in the year. Fuck em.

Imagine GOT2 comes out the same time lol.
Holy shit what is going on in the gaming industry?
Bunch of remakes , remasters and stupid game delays left and right. From GTA6 to this to switch 2 delay....
The industry got destroyed by thes woke lunatics just like they destroyed movies and shows. Bullshit hires based on skin color, which is nothing more than reversed racism, and woke bullet points to cater to current politics.
My dad owned several video stores, i watched everything i could, but i turned away from movies and shows and only entertain myself with games. But even here the agenda continues and now i start to give up on them too.
So i am very glad the industry is falling apart much quicker than i thought.

Writes a lot, says very little
lol I like how both Kingdom Come: Deliverance II and this where suppose to release in Fall and ended up with a February 2025 release date instead lol
2025 with AC Shadows, Ghost of Yotei, Death Stranding 2, KCD2, GTAVI....that is going to be a legendary fucking year
I never played their stuff on PC, but surprised they even still used any of that DRM stuff
A delay is welcome as this fall is fucking packed and if they want more time, that is the best option to correct any technical issues.
Free Expansion is always nice lol
