/our guy/ Mat Piscatella weighs in. Literally the most trustworthy metric for sales in the industry. God bless Circana.
[Good News] Assassin's Creed: Shadows is a success
Not the best selling game of the month? Just the week?
Mat Shillscatella
If it’s the best selling in a week, what were the numbers? Why are they so allergic to hard numerical facts?
That information is as of March 22, so only two days into the game's release. Circana is always a bit behind, they take a long time to gather all the stats.
But that sounds good. Top 5 of the year in a mere two days is pretty good.
NPD/Circana never give concrete numbers, newfag. Lurk more.
May I see the numbers?
Not how NPD/Circana works.
Ubisoft pumped up the preorders by including free dlc with them.
Didn't tencent go forward with the buyout?
I really don't care what that nigger says the evidence point towards the exact opposite.
The buyout was planned months in advance, why would a single game be able to stop it?
Then why tell us? No one can verify this shit
The game was a last ditch effort that has been planned since even before.
Name a more trustworthy source than NPD/Circana. Protip: You can't.
Also, how the fuck would you be able to verify it even if they made numbers up?
jewish
troonsky
India rangeban when?
Lots of Circanalets ITT
I see. Didn't know that.
It's indeed a success. Let's celebrate with more layoffs and studio closures.
Very good launch for Ass Creed but we'll have to see if it has legs or if this is another Dragon's Dogma 2 situation.
Top 5 of the year means it was the fifth best selling game of the year. And that isn't much of an accomplishment for a AAA game releasing March.
We should be getting the full March report within the next two weeks
I mean it had 3 trillion players, how could it not be a success?
He hasn't even done January yet. They're going particularly slow this year.
Yeah, he has, bud
This is February
We should be getting March in a week or two
Judging by what Mat said, I'm gonna guess AC is either 2 or 3.
They sold off their IPs to Tencent so nothing matters past that. Guillemot made a deal with the red Chinese devil and you can't ever reclaim your soul at any point ever again after.
Riot Games seems to be doing fine after having done that deal.
ou can't ever reclaim your soul at any point ever again after.
Not like he has a soul to reclaim.
The company that makes Valorant is a very different company to Ubisoft. Not the same thing, Ubisoft has a diverse library of IPs. Some of which are niche and anti tencent in nature.
We’re not talking about Ass Creed anymore, we’re talking about the Minecraft movie and the potential 2nd video game crash
AC shadows wasn't going to make up for the gaping hole in the budget from skull and bones, outlaws, POP, Xdvision, but it WAS going to affect how much ubisoft paid for the rights. That was specifically announced as based on revenue.
From THAT we know it sold like ass, and by that I mean by high AAA/AAAA standards.
We can't.
But when people keep running around talking smack without backing up with facts that are relevant to the matter, other people naturally come to believe they're completely full of shit and need to get raped by prison convicts cosplaying as yasuke,
This would be a lot more believable if they actually gave the numbers.
Yasukebros, where's the next milestone update? We've been at "(((reached))) 3 millions" for 2 weeks already?
$1b budget
not even top 3 seller of the year, even only a quarter through the year
Yeah it flopped like a turd in the toilet bowl
This, people from other universes absolutely love it. Ubisoft won bigly this time.
It probably did good.
My normie friend is enjoying the game and saying it is a big improvement from Valhalla and Odyssey.
We won't know anything about all of March for two more weeks
I'm at Ubi HQ right now, the live count is currently at 9999999 players
We'll be getting 10 million players very, very soon Yasubros. Keep the faith!
3 weeks ago
kek
it's 20 million now
When you thought there could not something more retarded than twitter threads, they came up with bluesky threads
Appeal to perfection fallacy
Per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella citing Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, on Monday August 26, “Concord ranked 147th in US PS5 daily active players across all titles, with fewer than 0.2% of Monday's active PS5 players playing the game.”
name a more trustworthy source than these guys who refuse to release any concrete data
Lol
Lmao
Sony won
Microsoft lost
So why weren't you able to name it? Very interesting.
This is pretty concrete albeit
B-b-b-because I said so!
Lol
Lmao
Where's AC?
If you're ever able to come up with a more trustworthy source, I'll be happy to listen to you. Seems like you have none, though.
That's from February. March numbers in a week or so.
KWAB
The game didn't flop
[YOU ARE HERE]
The game only flopped by shareholder expectations
The game flopped because it was a bad game, not because of woke
The game flopped because gamers are evil
Tick tock
The game simply didn't flop
This is odd framing from him, but he's very reliable. So, anons, can you name the other 3 games in the top 5?
Anons exaggerating, but expecting it to meet it's budget isn't too much to ask. At this budget level it NEEDS to dominate just to not collapse under it's own weight.
Do you even know anyone that is playing this? My only friend that liked AC stopped playing seriously after origins.
I'm gonna guess
1) Monster Hunter Wilds
2) Some sportsslop
3) AC:S
4) Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
5) Civilization VII
Nobody on my list is, but they tend to be relatively right wing, and would take shit like musk getting into a dumb slapfight on twitter seriously.
I assume he's only framing it that way because when he made that xeet he only had the immediate data
My guess is it will be below Wilds and above everything else
such a huge success that ubisoft is restructuring and begging for tencent cock and firing everyone
Main is an ugly gay rapper negroid
Best selling in USA
Pottery
Damn, you've thought a game based on Japanese history with japanese cast and japanese locations would be a best selling game in Japan.
We reached the third tier a week ago, they’re just going back to cope.
A flop means that it didn't make its money back, not that it didn't make the money back that other flops lost.
name a more trustworthy source than this untrustworthy source, or else I win
My ass
Lol
Lmao
Circana/NPD are pretty trustworthy albeit. Have been for decades. I'm assuming you've only heard of them now but that's your problem, not mine.
I thought KCD2 had a bigger launch than shadows.
Lets check the contenders for everything else and I might beleive you.
Wilds is easily number one
Dynasty Warriors Orgins
KCD2
Civ 7
AC: S
Khazan
Inzoi ?
Yeah. I can see AC shadows week 1 beating 3 of those games. I can also see that sales level not being enough to make budget. We'll see how that goes.
There's no actual metrics, but trust me bro
Lol
Lmao
It sold like ass in Japan and had a 60 percent falloff from ass week 2.
KEK
They sold off their IPs to Tencent so nothing matters past that
why do you retards keep repeating this bs, tecent only has 25% stake in the new company, meanwhile ubi has 75%
Games ranked from 1 to 20 in dollar sales and also a separate list with games ranked 1 to 100 in player engagement doesn't count because... Because it's just not concrete enough for me, ok?
Just childish behavior from you.
Circana/NPD are pretty trustworthy albeit
TRUST THE EXPERTS. RETURN TO FORM
Yeah, but also check what he's claiming here. A high week 1 launch for shadows. That matches the one week blip we saw on steam and other storefronts. And then it faded out like civ7
NTA but agreed, I'm looking forward to the full March numbers.
Matt faggotella is a shill that changes his metrics all the time to fit his narrative.
give one example
best selling game of the week
I mean, yeah? It was up against Xenoblade X and Atelier Yumia. The difference is both XCX and Yumia broke even day 1 and every copy sold is pure profit. AC Shadows has yet to break even.
Who else would I trust on market research than the most trusted market research company? Why are you pretending there's some ground roots market research team you go by? Or is your play here just "Ignore everything, we can't possibly know anything at all?"
You're being silly
Mediacreate, famitsu, those fags that post the UK data. These all post real numbers instead of faggotry like mutt piscatella.
The metrics have always been sales by dollars (not units, specifically to avoid shit like bundles) and that won't change when we get the full March numbers.
ITS
gets bought by tencent
A
studio gets shut down
FUCKING
stocks nosediving
SUCCESS!!!
layoffs announced
gets bought by tencent
why are you lying
$1b budget
350,000,000. Which means 7.1 million (REAL SALES), not players, to break even. For comparison, Star Wars Outlaws was 300,000,000, Veilguard was 250,000,000, Avatar Pandora was 200,000,000. Skull and Bones was fucking 650,000,000 and a collosal loss.
Mediacreate, famitsu
That's in Japan, retard.
those fags that post the UK data
Really, dude? You're gonna trust fucking United Kingdom PHYSICAL, not even digital data, just because they give you le numbers? Which for all you know they might be pulling out of their ass, since you're being distrustful of market research companies just for the sake of it anyway?
Anyways, even if we go by that, they have a good picture for AC:S. In fact, they have a better picture for AC:S than Circana does! Circana says that AC:S is below Monster Hunter Wilds. Those UK fags you referred to say that it's above it.
saaaaaar. market research saaar. do the needful kindly
Lets take Famitsu then. AC shadows would have something close to a top 5 launch for the year so far, maybe 7th at the worst...but still sell like complete ass, and fall off imediately.
monster hunterletsissies...
newfag get the rope, why are election tourist so retarded?
if it sold so well why dont they put out the sales figures then.
dont most publishers these days not publish sales figures?
Not for big successes. They make press releases and scream that shit from the rooftops.
Lol
r/Asmongold
you really really need to go back
no argument
Capcom with Monster hunter.

A quick bit from GSG's Stalker 2.

An example from Ubisoft themselves:
news.ubisoft.com
If ubisoft had ANY good news, they'd be screaming that shit everywhere, as it affects the amount they get from Tencent, and they're facing an investor revolt..
best-selling game of the week
of the week
in the US
only counts physical sales from retail stores
This could literally be as low as 10k copies being sold.
If ubisoft had ANY good news, they'd be screaming that shit everywhere, as it affects the amount they get from Tencent, and they're facing an investor revolt..
even if shadows did better then valhalla it wouldnt matter, they are too deep in the hole to begin with.
They'd STILL be screaming that, because they're at risk of short attacks from investors. The value of the AC IP means more money from Tencent on the buyin.
Isn't ubisoft being sued by investors for lying to them
just trust them bro
It's threats, and judicial hearings...for now. And it's also because of the tencent rugpull that secretly devalued all their holdings.
they're at risk of short attacks from investors
its one activist investor. And activist investors should also always be ignored if you know anything about them
Just like I will ignore any game you release ubishill
an investor revolt
It's one activist vulture investor who only owns 1% and wants Ubisoft to sell
they are suiing because they dont know how the tencent deal benefits them.
No not that. A short attack is what some investors did to Gamestop and Tesla. Not the AJ investor thing.
I think this anon is defending his puts and throwing bullshit. AJ only has 1 percent, but he's not alone.
usnews.com
So, this was last year BEFORE the tencent deal. The tencent deal dramatically reduces the open market price of the company.
Now, I'm not defending AJ's position here. Just saying that if Ubisoft had good news to wave, they'd do it.
The other shareholders seem to think that it's dropped the value of the company by about 25 percent.
s-s-seriously just trust me bro
Lol
Lmao
KCD2 absolutely wipes its ass with Shadows. that jeet is just lying
Learn to read
>only counts physical sales from retail stores
No, Circana counts everything. Physical and digital.
An example from Ubisoft themselves:
news.ubisoft.com
Ubisoft announced that Far Cry 5 more than doubled first week sell-through of Far Cry 4, making Far Cry 5 the fastest selling title in the franchise's history. Digital distribution accounted for more than 50 percent of those sales. Far Cry 5 now represents the second biggest launch ever for a Ubisoft game, following only Tom Clancy's The Division, with $310M USD in consumer spending through the first week.
How is this any different from pic related? Seems like the same shit to me.
you can only post real info like that on asmon's sub
Seems like the same shit to me.
yeah it is shit
You guys don't want to admit that AC:Shadows was still a big success just because you hate being the loser. A sad typical Anon Babble behaviour.
good morning saaaaaaaaaaaaar
dude, it's all red in the stock market because drumpf if a retard
trusting some white bald grifter and his sub
Nah not on my level.
Lets trust you then. Go stream the game to your friends and show us how many of them are picked up as "playing" a game they dont own
best selling game
of the week
WHERE ARE THE SALES FIGURES, LEBOWSKI? Anon Babble KNOWS YOU'RE GOOD FOR 'EM
I mean if you hate Ubisoft you're displaying a third world behavior btw
Hating anything west
No arguement.
stop lying already
i will not buy your niggerlover slop
Maybe not you, but many will.
trusting some white
Yes, akshit?
It's a "success" like all mainline AssCreeds are. Definitely not the juggernaut that Ubisoft was hoping for, however.
saaar
name a more trusted source than (thing i've never heard of in 32 years)
sad that mediocre games with microtransactions that relate to game progress are rewarded
muh dollar sales
MH wilds also costs 80 instead of 60.
So wilds needs to sell 30% less then world, rise etc to become the best selling
It's also the only version that released on console and pc simultaneously
This is why I can't take Matt pissboy seriously
So Anon Babble lost? OK
nobody cares shill you retarded subhuman
ubisoft has been red even during biden's term.
argue saaar
nah ranjeet. i am not going to waste my time with you
Go woke go... top of the charts?
Chuddhas?
You care
You are here
Its a success actually!
According to whom
Ubisoft!
Because the company that literally just got bought out by the chinese while their stocks are failing despite "having one of the best selling games in the franchise" is real trustworthy...
Why would the company lie about their success?
/s
SAAR
this is why you guys are annoying.
no matter what it's ALWAYS a lie, it's ALWAYS some conspiracy. it can never just be "this game is a success" it's always gotta be some grand lie where all the devs, publishers, analysts and sales trackers are lying to you.
what incentive do Mat and NPD/Circana have to lie about a dying company about to be absorbed? what incentive?
Obviously. Only grifters said otherwise.
Hoyt
White
what incentive?
he posts on bluesky. that pretty much tells you about the incentive
