If we can be rejoiced at such a success for this game which will have had many obscacles on its way, it remains a great stranger: the number of real sales. Why Ubisoft communicates on the number of players instead of usual sales? For some, it is a strategy for drowning fish and not showing that the game does not perform enough. If we believe some resellers who spoke on Twitter, it would have passed between 100,000 and 120,000 copies of the game in France, only in physical version, and in a single week, which is a huge success. By way of comparison, it is the triple of Avatar Frontiers of Pandora and Star Wars Outlaws, but it is also the number of sales of Astro Bot in France since its release last September.
According to our information, on Steam, it sold around 507,000 copies of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, when you know that the consoles / PC ratio is 73% vs 27%. We also note that it is in China that sales were the most important with 26.4% market share, followed by the United States with 20.4%, then drops to 6.4% with Russia. Japan on the other hand is a country that shunned Ubisoft’s game with only 17,700 copies sold in a week. It is indeed a flop, but the controversies did not reach anything good in the land of the sun-Levant.
