As part of its fiscal earnings report for the quarter ending December 2008, Ubisoft has revealed the "sell-in sales" (that's to retailers, not consumers) for a handful of key titles. Far Cry 2, launched in late October, shipped 2.9 million, while Raving Rabbids TV Party has tallied up 1.5 million since its mid-November unveiling.
Unfortunately, a certain wisecracking acrobat didn't seem to meet expectations. According to the report, the above figures helped to "offset the impact of a slower take-off" for Prince of Persia and its 2.2 million shipped units for December. Yesterday's NPD stats put PoP's US sales at around 483K. Ubisoft has also confirmed a fiscal 2009 release window for Assassin's Creed 2, Splinter Cell Conviction and a new Ghost Recon.

Does this mean that PoP2 is gonna go dark and gritty? With a darker prince, more T&A and some rock music?
Somehow I feel i've seen this before somewhere...

PoP was a good try, though not as good as Sands of Time. The main problem, which no-one ever mentions, is that there were no puzzles. Everyone is so busy whining about irrelevant things like the save system, and almost no reviews mentioned the real problems. (except Yahtzee...)
