I have read 5 different articles today that stated almost the same thing but not a single one of those articles show sales number. they all refer to some "industry insider" or "data from XXXX" Show me the numbers!!!!

It this some form of "gotchya" moment? Even if the game "did" sell 3million copies.

Thats atrociously low for an AC in 2025 and woefully low for Ubisoft in general.

Its also only March, not many AAA releases yet. Come back to me in Sept/Oct and then we will see it on the charts for 2025

Exactly....
First line in the article....
"According to the 2025 video game retail sales data and Circana industry analyst Mat Piscatella"

That's a really strong start. Some users speculated that most players are on Ubisoft+ with the subscription service, but these numbers put thins narrative into doubt. This is talking about sales in comparison to other games. Only time will tell if it continues to be succesful, but week one is really promising.

Lol, game literally makes the second most dollar sales compared to all games released this year in its first week and you can’t rebut that, so you move goalposts.

Cope.

Literally second highest launch of the entire series, second only to Valhalla from a few years ago.

I agree about the end of the year though. I bet even MH: Wilds will ultimately end up MAYBE near the bottom of the top ten by the end.

Based on what? Oh right based on nothing but your own feelings and absolutely on nothing else.

Data? What sales data?

Im still waiting for any of these analysts, insiders and Ubisoft themselves to post their copies sold.

If they were so "proud" of their achievement, why not show it?

Capcom had no issues posting theres for MHWilds.

You mean "players"?

The same "players" that play on Ubisoft+, sharing copies with their friends/family, review copies given for free, free keycodes given by Ubisoft themselves and even free codes with graphics card sales.

Talk about being blinded.

This is based off a article from some guys Twitter post. With still no actual sales numbers... Its very common for a game to sell at the top of its launch week. usually AAA games sit at number 1 weeks before and a few weeks after release. AC Shadows was number 2 for only its launch week. This really says nothing about how it sold.
This same thing was said about avowed... They said Avowed reached 5.9 million players... Almost double AC Shadows player count.
