Raymond says Ubisoft aims to sell about five million copies of Blacklist.

Ubisoft already warned investors that Splinter Cell Blacklist and Rayman Legends failed to meet the publisher's initial sales expectations. In a post-earnings conference call yesterday, the company shed a little more light on their performance to date.

Splinter Cell Blacklist has sold close to 2 million copies, Ubisoft revealed

Ouch, Splinter Cell: Blacklist numbers are pretty bad according to VGChartz. Only 700k on 360 and ~600K on PS3.

Conviction sold 2 million on the 360. So maybe they expected it to do 4 million on PS360.

It felt very ambitious and I assume it had a big budget. Great game, go play it people!
