It's shipped/sold a million copies so far. How can it be the biggest flop of the year?

This was confirmed by Ubisoft, not VGChartz numbers.


Origins, with digital sales, should be close to 3.5m.

As Ubisoft was not used to failure this gen (they rolled on success with each and every game), the budget on legends must have been based on this.

So this is a flop, money speaking.


We don't know what its budget was though, it could have been less than origins as they already had the game engine written. Also it's only been out for about 3 months, while Origins has has 2 years worth of steady sales.

So it's a 2D platformer that's reached a million in shipped/digital sales after only 3 months on the market. I can't believe that's not profitable. It's probably very profitable in fact. Especially as the engine is already written and owned by them so they don't have to spend royalties on it.

I think this game will hit the 2 million mark sometime next year. The steam sale probably just added another 50k sales alone over the last couple of days.
