Assassin’s Creed 2 certain now that Assassin’s Creed sold over 1 million
French games publisher Ubisoft tells in their fiscal 2007-2008 first half financial report about the latest earnings. Assassin’s Creed on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 has sales that have already topped the record level of 1 million units!
Talking about the success of Assassin’s Creed, the company said this is “a positive sign that the brand will be successful and that Ubisoft has created another long-term franchise.” Good news for the fans waiting to see how the story will unfold further in Assassin’s Creed 2.
Ubisoft as a whole has been doing great, with total sales climbing 51.80% (to €261 million / $387 million) over last year’s sales. Their net income rose 11.7% to €30.6 million / $45 million. These sales were driven by Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, Naruto: Rise of a Ninja, Beowulf and a number of casual games such as titles from the Imagine, Petz and MyCoach brands.
By the way, if you have the choice between the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Assassin’s Creed. Go for the Xbox 360 version, which fans say is more stable, since the PS3 version has had lots more complaints about it freezing up on players mid-game or during loading screens. Let’s hope those memory issues get sorted in the sequel (or they release a patch for this game to fix it).

As you can see it’s not for the faint of heart.
