Two AC games is just greedy.

So many delays. But it doesnt bothers me. I am only interested in farcry 4, destiny and probably LBP 3.

I do wonder, how much can they achieve in 2 extra weeks that they couldn't do in all the months/years they had before?



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Could it be that they are delaying it so they can add a female character?

My observations:
- Same day as AC: Rogue on last-gen
- A week before Far Cry 4 - Ubisoft wants to pack a strong sales 1-2 punch

If I'm not mistaken, AC:U has a marketing deal with XOne. And now it comes out the same day as MCC. This will probably be bad for both games, but AC will definitely suffer more.
I expect the PS4 version to handily outsell XOne version, 2:1 or more.

 

EDIT: Or as someone else noticed in another thread, this could be great for XOne sales, packing two bundles for people with differing tastes. This week, as well as the one prior with CoD, might give XOne a big boost and a November victory.

I'm assuming you mean for NPD, and not worldwide

Why not delay it a week further and throw in female assassins to boot?

I thought it was clear that I mean globally in the US.

I forgot about that one, as it's not on my list. 

But yes, from what seemed like a terrible date for SO two months ago, it has now cleared so much that it has an objective chance to take #1 spot for the week. Its sole remaining competition is Lords of the Fallen, and I don't think it can do as good, even on multiple platforms.
