At one point thanks to their Imagine and Petz series Nintendo DS represented 35% of their sales.

I hope this means we get a sequel to AC3 in the spirit of Brotherhood. AC3's setting was amazing, but the game itself fell short of the greatness that is AC2 and ACB.

BeauRoger · Feb 7, 2013

Well deserved ubisoft, both far cry 3 and AC3 are fantastic games. Now fix the disaster that is Uplay and start supporting the PC version of your games the same way you do with consoles.

AC3 did not seem to deserve breaking records from the reception it got. Still have not finished it

It certainly does not. I bought it on faith, given my enjoyment of the AC2 games. Last time I'll ever do that with an AC game.

rataven · Feb 7, 2013

Wow, ACIII sold crazy good, which likely ensures we'll get a direct sequel. Ideally however, they'd make it a prequel. More Haytham, less Connor.

Toa TAK · Feb 7, 2013

Both of the games, I think, definitely deserved it. Although, I do agree with the sentiment that FC3 should've gotten more.

theDeeDubs · Feb 7, 2013

Well deserved for AC3. GotY for me last year. Hopefully this means another Connor game.

Lime · Feb 7, 2013

I wonder what's the increase and decrease between the US and Europe thanks to AC3's setting.

petethepanda · Feb 7, 2013

(AC) Worst game in the series far and away the most successful... not too confident they'll get this back on track.

"Throw even more pointless activities on the map next time. They clearly want more of it!"

rockman zx · Feb 7, 2013

They better use some of this money to test properly the new AC game.

Can Crusher · Feb 7, 2013

AC 3 is far from a fantastic game. It's an incredibly big production, but that doesn't mean it's a fantastic game. It's way too average in way too many things it does.

Did you notice the change in their regional revenue mix? I assume that's much of your answer.

Grimsen · Feb 7, 2013

AC3 was very average. I finished it, but got rid of it.

Still playing FC3, and it's a much, much better game. Even on 360.

Gueras · Feb 7, 2013

FC3 is great but need better Story and better Boss's battles

The 2 big fights from the game are ridiculous...

SCORE 8/10

That includes all Ubisoft releases right? It's a partial answer I guess.

The Abominable Snowman · Feb 7, 2013

Wow, the growth of the AC franchise is bonkers.

Wonder if they'll have a big iteration ready in time for next gen launch. It could be HUGE

Meatvillain · Feb 7, 2013

*does a suck it AC3 haters dance*

Obviously good sales means I'm right to like it. Bad games don't sell, right? right?

Worst part of these news is that it basically confirms we are gonna see Connor again...

My last hope is that they just make Connor travel to some other part of the world.

This is true.

He's no Ezio.

Well, since Rabbids Rumble was Ubi's biggest 3DS title this FY, that's not too surprising.

Lol, you always call Vita dead, and yet Ubi sold more software on it.

Hindle · Feb 7, 2013

With any luck AC III pissed off enough people to seriously make them consider thier approach for the next game.

I never played the game and from what I've heard I'm bloody glad I didn't.

iNvid02 · Feb 7, 2013

kinda expected, this was hyped up to be the big "3" and marketing was everywhere long before release, not the best in the series but not the worst either.

glad far cry is doing well

jcm · Feb 7, 2013

Yes, it is. I would like to know the AC total revenue this year compared to last year. They discount these games so quickly and so heavily , it'd be interesting to see. That's the kind of data they're unlikely to release though.

3DS: not reliant at all on Western third-party support due to its younger/Japanese target demographics, has had no major releases from Ubisoft in the current fiscal year

Vita: heavily reliant on Western third-party support as part of Sony's strategy of selling "console quality on the go" to males aged 17-30; had one major, heavily marketed Ubisoft release which nonetheless failed to break 300K in the US

megalowho · Feb 7, 2013

They got their AC3 numbers, but at what cost. Series has lost a lot of goodwill with the "core" they tout so highly in that writeup. Will be very interesting to see how things go from here.

ezekial45 · Feb 7, 2013

I'm gonna be interested to see the next AC game's sales numbers. Also good to see FC3 do well. They earned it.

rvy · Feb 7, 2013

How do badly optimized and unpolished games sell so much?

Pooya · Feb 7, 2013

Assassin's Creed Liberation close to 600k shipped.

Liberation did close to 600k with 15-20% digital downloads. Not bad.

The last survey hinted at co-op so it's presumably Connor and Aveline in some U.S. location.

Will it, now? They seem to be against the idea of using that many resources on co-op. Or at least on a way to make it work.

Both games were the best in their respective series.

Good news about Far Cry 3. They did a great job there.

They dropped it for AC1.

They didn't say they dropped it forever!

Sneaky Ubisoft.

Fuck that dope Connor. Aveline should be the star of the next console game.

ShockingAlberto · Feb 7, 2013

After AC3 and Skyrim sold so well, one wonders if QA is going to become even less of a priority for big holiday titles, or even titles elsewhere in the year.

sacrificengineer · Feb 7, 2013

Very glad for Far Cry.
