I'd say it's pretty close (of course 3 entries over 2 but those are the figures atm). Also, Assassin's creed didn't even exist when it succeeded, so a series succeeding or failing based on the performance of a previous entry is not always the right metric (in this occurrence saying that PoP would not be a good brand to use since the brand was dying).
