If the PS3 really continues it's momentum in Europe I think 5 million is possible. This and Call of Duty 4 seem to be the premire titles for the PS3 right now, for all the forcasting about othre games who would have thought it would be the muli-platform titles which would be so strong.
The 360 version will probably drop off a cliff after Christmass as most of theri titles are front loaded but word of mouth is strong and I don't see any competing games in this genre. Maybe a next gen Tenchu if it was done well.
Maybe it wasn't a perfect game, and sure there are better games out there, but even the critical reviews don't think it is a bad game. It is like the Pirates of the Caribean movies. Were they the best things ever? No. Did they have flaws? Yes. Did people get there money's worth and felt entertained? Hell Yes.
Good for Ubisoft. Maybe now they can take these HD profits to fund the Wii games they plan on "makin Nntendo level" quality.
Final* Word on Game Delays:
The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.
Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.
Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.
