More accurate figures sadly lacking

It may have failed to set the charts alight but Red Steel 2 still performed in line with Ubisoft's sales estimates.

In its end of year financial report, the company failed to give more exact sales figures but did say it had performed in line with revised estimates, a reference to the halving of expectations just before launch.

Most interestingly is the revelation that a massive 42% of Ubisoft's software sales last year were on Wii, with 17% on DS, PS3 on 12% and Xbox 360 only mustering 8%. Bear in mind that highly-acclaimed adventure Assassin's Creed II launched on both HD formats at around the same time as the Wii received Just Dance and you start to get the picture.

In fact, Just Dance has sold nearly three million units worldwide, resulting in almost three million cases of people looking like idiots in their own homes.

So I guess it WAS a success after all.

Now I believe the Red Steel 3 rumors even more

That's what they're supposed to say. But it really sold poorly :/

Wishful thinking :p

Hmm... I wonder if it'll manage their projected 500k, eventually.

I'm playing the game right now, and it's a blast. Definitely a quality product. Here's hoping they'll do a RS3.

there expectations probably aren't that high

I dont care how much it has or has not sold. I just want to play Red Steel 3!!

well yeah they lowered their expectations by 50% before they send out copies.
kinda hard to not meet low expectations.

 They either further revised their expectations, or they really stuffed the channels.

I thought this was funny

Met expectations probably means broke even. Hopefully RS3 is will come into fruition and build upon a solid game.
