Assassin's Creed (PC, PS3, X360) spearheaded a 36% boost in 2008 sales over last year, the company announced today.
Ubisoft's full-year sales for its 2007-2008 fiscal year totaled EUR 928M, or roughly $1.45B at current exchange rates, a 36.4% increase over last year's figure of EUR 680M / $1.02B. Fourth quarter sales were up 10%, clocking in at EUR 217M / $340.5M.
Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed continues to motor on, selling over 6 million units as of March 31 this year, further establishing itself as a star franchise for the game maker.
What's fantastic about this is that they state that they've already sold 5M in as of 12/31/2007. When you add the two LTD stocks together, they're only at 5.8M.
So, Ubi has already supplied 86% of the stock within two months. Catalog sales alone will take this stock easily above 7M combined.
Also, Ubi's breakdown of sales for the quarter only show the 360 contributing 29% and the PS3 19%. Given the differences in userbase, that's not bad for the PS3. This is, of course, across all skus, but Assassin's Creed likely account for > 90% of PS3's numbers.
