Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood ships 6.5 million

Good game always make big buck

We gamer just need a good game , what they are earning?, That's none of our concern.

The horrid frame rate killed the game for me.

Who cares about how many units have been SHIPPED? How many of those actually sold?

congrats to Ubisoft and since a next Assassin's Creed game is in the works.sales might go higher and Assassin's Creed FTW

It's great to finally see a good game getting recognized for a change :)

I don't think we will need Assasins Creed this soon. In terms of age this game is still pretty new.

I'm not sure that this constitutes a legacy, as I just saw someone comment, but numbers certainly don't lie. I wonder though, looking at Gamestop and such, how many copies have been traded in. I always wonder that about games, they may sell well, but do people keep them or trade 'em. That'd be more of a test of staying power then straight numbers.

6.5 million.....-the numbers just reflect the legacy of this historic rpg series. thumps up 2 brotherhood n AC series.....

That's a lot of assassins running around on rooftops.

Great News

gorgeous sales gongrats ubisoft AC BROTHERHOOD is fantastic

I hope next upcoming ghost recon is also sales well.

finally got some news of AC Brotherhood

Ubisoft has always been pretty solid. It is their DRM that has left such a bad taste in people's mouths.

Congrats Ubisoft! Now lets get Ubisoft Montreal back on that PoP grind with a sequel to '08 please and thank you.. :)

I might have decided to buy them if they would get rid of their DRM. Especially, with those copies you buy on Steam. Oh well, when they come to their senses then I will buy them.

Actually, I'm surprised that Brotherhood didn't sell more than that. I'm playing it right now, and it's definitely the best Assassin's Creed so far.

Wow guys... How much love is there for Ubisoft in this room right now... everybody just give yourselves a big hug, then go play a game made by Ubisoft.

Hoping for Far Cry 3 this E3. :)

wow, that's a lot of shovel-ware. now, get started on BG&E 2!

My only problem with Ubisoft is their DRM. Otherwise, they are proably one of my favourite devs

Ubisoft has been doing a great job with their games. Keep it up!

Congrats to Ubisoft.

@DragonRift @RadicalToenail You guys are most likely right about it, its just I remember listening to IGN and Gamespot podcasts 2 years ago where they had to explain difference between shipped and sold and I don't remember seeing articles before then about how many units were shipped. But my memory is pretty bad.

nice lick for them

@SDBusDriver1979 Or maybe perhaps you're just looking for something to complain about? They've been using "shipped" numbers for years... Especially on this site. :|

I feel like I'm the only one out of the loop, I played the first Assassin's Creed but never beat it, my system fried and by the time I replaced it I forgot how to play the game, I didn't want to play through again or try to remember how to play so I never got the second game or Brotherhood. I think these are interesting games though, I think it's cool that they are so successful....

Assassin's Creed is one of the best new IPs this generation.

@SDBusDriver1979 Companies have been doing it for years, decades even. Before software. It's just one of the milestones that companies get excited about it. How much is shipped usually ends up being a "prediction" of how much will sell.

Don't blame one company for doing it, because most of them have being doing it for a long long time.

Was it Sony's marketing who started this trend of total numbers shipped than numbers actually sold to consumers to try and spin things better than they actually were but its really irritating me because now all publishers is doing it now.

Ubisoft has quietly become one of my favorite developers. Between AC, Prince of Persia, and Splinter Cell, it's hard to find better action adventure games.

I really enjoyed the single player quite a bit. Very long and immersive. Multiplayer is just ridiculously fun, I haven't played it in awhile though...gotta get back into it. Good work, Ubisoft.

The singleplayer was good, but not innovative compared to AC2. The multiplayer was an absolute blast, still playing it infrequently.

nice. ACB deserves it. long live Ezio Auditore!

Ubisoft has been putting out some damned good games recently, so more power to them and I hope they continue to make money from them. Here's hoping we get Beyond Good and Evil 2 and a Prince of Persia game soon--a proper one, not this movie cash-in 3 hour long crap that came out last year. Not that it was really bad, but it dredged up a nicely completed trilogy instead of continuing the interesting new story, which irritated me, and it was too short. Hopefully Ubi learned from the apparently abysmal sales of that and instead continues with great quality games in the future.

and don't forget the extra PC sales next month, that should bring in another 10 or 12 copies. (I'm a PC gamer btw)

Good job Ubi. Keep bringing out solid games.

Why do you guys report this at the PC Section. Do you Gamespot really despise people who play the PC by putting this! in the PC section While it's not even available on the PC. Honestly.. Btw.. Ubisoft you suck. Release the bloody game for the PC already, and if you are already delaying the game add some kinda dx11 or 10 feature.. not dx9..

All due respect to Ubisoft, they listen to what the gamers want and act on it. Any company that does this is bound to do well. Considering that there is still a recession on I give Ubi a hearty pat on its back for the achievement.

Not surprised. Brotherhood may not have been as well-polished and compelling as AC2, but it has way more replay value and a lot more things to do.

Ubisoft is the THING.

Good for ubisoft and i hope for Assassins creed 3 soon!
