According to Joystiq, Ubisoft is quite proud of their recent sales figures of Assassin’s Creed 2 which Ubisoft has estimated to be over 1.6 million copies sold in only it’s first week on the market. I believe it was Episode #21 of our weekly podcast where we gave Ubisoft some flack for not releasing a demo before launch. I guess Ubisoft knew something we didn’t. I am personally glad that Ubisoft is definitely seeing the fruits of their labor payoff despite the stiff competition from the likes Infinity Ward/Modern Warfare 2 which saw records breaking sales numbers.

Also Valve/Left 4 Dead 2 and Sony/God Of War Collection were both released on the same day as Assassin’s Creed 2 so these numbers are eye-popping. More importantly we just recently completed the story in Assassin’s Creed 2 and after 21 hours and 35 minutes we walked away saying, WOW! We can’t wait for Assassin’s Creed 3.
