Not necessarily. Plenty of great games don't sell well. The reason this is selling so well is hype due to it being an open world/sandbox game like GTA but with hacking which is somewhat(?) of a novelty. Similarly, Dead Island did not sell well because of its quality, but thanks to zombies being popular and the incredible trailer they made.
Not saying that the game is not good (it's probably great), but its sales have little to do with quality.
Anyway, congrats to Ubi. And good to see NEW IP's selling well.
