Assassin's Creed 2 ships close to 9 million, Conviction sales reach 1.8 million

Finally manage to revisit AC2 last weekend and now I'm almost finished. It really is a well made game.

I just started play AC2 again. The first time I played it I was disappointed with it compared to the first one but I am enjoying it more and more.

Agreed. IDK why but I stopped playing right before the Pope fight back in November, so I decided to finish it last week, and the ending was amazing. Can't wait for AC3.

Recently bought SC:C and I loved it. They did a very good job of keeping you interested and helping a person whos never played a SC game understand the characters. I highly enjoyed it!

And ubisoft is posting losses how?

I haven't picked it up yet, but I've been considering getting assassin's creed 2

People really likes assassins!

See this is why people should use Johnny Cash music in the background of launch commercials more often/

Glad Conviction is doing good!

I love it and I hope it can reach 3+ million lifetime on the 360.

I think it will once it drops in price/goes on sale.

And people wonder why they're making Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood...

At last, vindication.

Prior to the release of AC2, I was arguing with some naysayers, who did not believe that Ubisoft could turn it around for the franchise; that AC2 would be both a critical and commercial success, and that AC2 would go on to outsell AC's 7 million unit mark. Hearing that not only has AC2 outsold AC, but done so in a fraction of the time . . . yep, that is the sweet smell of vindication. Factoring in the tail, AC2 could pull down as much as 12 million, total lifetime sells, making it one of the ten most successful games, not bundled with a Wii-mote, or balance board, this generation.

Oh, and much kudos for Splinter Cell: Conviction. This and GTA4, were the first games that I pre-ordered this generation . . . all the way back in 2005 (yes, they were both available for pre-order in 2005). I love this game to death, and it along with Uncharted 2, are on the very limited, handful of games this gen, that I instantly started over again, once I had beat it. Co-op is a blast, and glad to see the game move just under 2 million units in about a month's time. Again, with the tail, this one could move anywhere between 4 to 6 million units, all before the seemingly inevitable port to PS3 in time for Xmas . . . where it'll probably net another 1.5 to 2.5 million units sold.

Great to see some of my favorite games getting both critical and commercial success. Let's hope Ubisoft does not lose it's touch when it comes getting the next Ghost Recon and Beyond Good and Evil 2.

AC2 is amazing. I just beat it about five minutes ago and it's everything you could ever want in a sequel. They took the good parts of the first game, expanded and refined them in every way, trimmed away repetitive things that no one liked, made the open world exploreable (I detest any game where touching water = death) and had an interesting and unique storyline to boot. Of course, the boatloads of sales aren't hurt by the fact that it could be bought for $30 just a few months after release.

9 Million Copies SHIPPED?. No wonder it was marked down to $40 rather quickly at most retailers.
