How well do you guys think this game will do sale-wise?

Will it be a success? Will it barely break-even? Will it a flop?

Will do fine. Not as successful as Valhalla, but more successful than any other entry.

People overestimate how much people give a ♥♥♥♥ about culture war BS. If a game looks cool, they buy it. That's the mass market thought process.

If it's so successful, where are the sale numbers?

They're coming when the quarterly report drops in a few days.

As for me, I think it'll do pretty well. ~10 million copies when all is said and done. I base this one the fact that Odyssey, another day one Steam release, ended up selling this many and its peak player count is equivalent to Shadows', implying roughly the same amount of interest.

Not sure how accurate this research firm's estimations are, but sounds reasonable: https://www.pcgamesn.com/assassins-creed-shadows/sales-analysis-ubisoft

"Three days after launch, Shadows has apparently sold 310,000 copies. In a similar time frame, Split Fiction shifted 882,500 units on Steam, and the gargantuan Monster Hunter Wilds sold almost ten times better than Shadows with 3.7 million units"

It's doing, and going to do ok. Problem is "ok" is not enough at this point.

I return with numbers: Game reached #4 on the Playstation Store, #2 in Japan before launch. Playstation users have no access to Ubisoft+ Premium, so all PSN purchases were actual, honest to goodness purchases.

i thought origins was the only day 1 on steam ?

Not so. Odyssey was October 5, 2018 on all platforms.

i will assume that with the size of the japanese pop that would be a good number . i honestly still dont think its going to be enough

I agree, to be honest. I think the game will do well on its own, but I don't think it'll be the kind of blockbuster that single-handedly lifts the studio out of the water.

Yea for Shadows to truly pull Ubisoft out of this hole their in Shadows needs to sell something like 15-20mill full prices copys, and to just break even it has to sell at least 7mill full price copys.

Ubisoft needs Shadows to be a massive win like no other for them to cover all the flops they've had in a row.
And remember Ubisoft needs money NOW not later so they can't really wait years and years for Shadows to earn them money over time like Valhalla did.
Prince of Persia,
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora,
XDefiant,
Star Wars Outlaws,
Skull and Bones,
All of these game's are considered flops by Ubisoft themselves some of them lost money or just barely broke even.

It will be a massive success because it is 10/10 best game that will be nominated as GOTY on 2025.
