Games sell 40-50% of their volume in the first week. Theres exceptions to that, but those are typically smaller games that become sleeper hits and games as a service.
I don't think it makes sense to do that when you offer the game on subscription service.

Ubisoft is too big of a hole to be propped up by one hit.
Where did you get that budget? Let's start there.
Industry estimates, benchmarks against projects of similar scope.

I mean, to be fair when more affordable and innovative indie titles drop they tend to do pretty damn well. Especially if they catch the whole social media/twitch wave. I don't think many AAA titles can compete with that.
See you in November.I am pumped to see the 4 million thread.
Let's not get ahead of our selves. That is the "over 10 million played" milestone.
I don't remember GTA5 selling 100 million in a week
If those are your expectations you'll be extremely disappointed.
aka "the only good one"
>>games as a service
Nah the Ezio games are very good. My point though was that the series has changed so much since Black Flag that they're not even comparible at this stage.
It's just a very solid game. I'm having a great time with it regardless of some of its flaws.I mean....starting to sound like trolls talking about this game non-stop online backfired, they might have marketed this game for free for Ubisoft thinking they'd stop people from buying it or something.
I remember reading some comment where someone made a video about the "outrage" and someone was like "OH shit a new AC is coming out WITH SAMURAI" lol
So...maybe all publicity is good publicity. Let me remind folks, the fake outrage of Far Cry 5, the petitions, the wild amount of videos....resulted in that game becoming the best selling Far Cry in history.
So shit, maybe we need more threads of AC Shadows, more tweets and more videos, doesn't seem to be hurting Ubisoft at the moment as that algorithm is keeping the gaming community in the loop about this game lol .
woke Ubi shills are shilling hard for this game
why still no 3 million players update it's been over a week
They can lie all they want, until they can't lie anymore, ER is coming next month.

Gta5 is rare exception, it kept on selling humongous numbers(tens of milions) years after its launch, every year.
Horizon Hero Dawn (a new IP) sold over 20M copies...the game didn't sell 10M in a week.
Eh, I wouldn't consider that desperation. If your job is social media it's an easy beat to make, it's why plenty of other games have done it in the past. Regardless of how you try to cut it, it's a milestone for them so it's worth bringing attention to it on social media accounts. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if they feel the need to do it even more so because of all the "negative attention" the game has received.
I didn't actually finish Black Flag. The last one I completed was AC3 and its my favorite game in the series.
If they don't announce anything, "wow, it bombed"
Much much cheaper streamer bait of the month games sell more than 70€ AAAA game? I'm shocked!!
