Ubisoft: Assassin's Creed IV Sales Won't Beat Assassin's Creed III
End of a console generation bites.
Ubisoft has said that it is not expecting Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag to match sales of last year's Assassin's Creed III.
The publisher revealed in its financial call to investors that Assassin's Creed III had managed to ship 12.5 million units. But, while the company hopes to exceed that with the upcoming sequel, on paper it is officially reigning in its sales projections.
"To come back to Assassin's Creed 4, in our numbers we have... we expect less than last year," CEO Yves Guillemot said. "We are actually pushing to achieve more than last year because we think the pirate segment is a great segment that can generate a lot more on a worldwide basis than what was achieved last year.
"But we wanted to be prudent on our expectations so that it can probably be a bonus if it comes." No reason was given for the modest forecast.
