It seems that this is based on players numbers that include Americans that tried the free streamed version offered by Google.

Still, good to see growth. Ubisoft's investors will be satisfied.

I doubt that Google sent out more than a 20,000 copies for that Project Stream beta. I know that I didn't get in after signing up. Also, where did you read that this was based on player count and not sales? 

I don't know the number of users who participated in the Project Stream beta but I know that publishers nowadays are often measuring success according to player count and activity, especially if actual sales numbers don't show growth. It's also the wording "launch week performance" and "biggest launch" coupled with no mention of actual sales numbers. Maybe it really has beaten this gen's sales record for AC. But I'd really like to see some solid numbers. That's why I'm here.

Personally, I'm looking forward to reunite with Origins and Odyssey after leaving the series 2 hours in AC3.
