We were a little confused when Ubisoft screamed "SALES UP 32% IN WEEK 1" in relation to Assassin's Creed II. We figured that sales would be up by ∞% in week 1, coming as they did from a base of 0 sales in Week 0.This is what the cheeky French company meant though,
Assassin's Creed II "had 1.6 million units sold through worldwide according to internal estimates. This represents 32% growth over the first week sales of
Assassin’s Creed."
Apparently, however,
AssCreed I "remains the fastest selling new video game intellectual property ever in the US".
Good old 'internal estimates', eh readers.
