According to publisher of Assassins Creed Ubisoft, the latest game in the critically acclaimed franchise (Assassins Creed 3)  managed to shift approximately 3.5 million copies within its first week of availability. CEO of Ubisoft, Yves Guillemot said "First-week sell-through sales for Assassin's Creed 3 are estimated at over 3.5 million units, representing a year-on-year increase of more than 100 per cent." in an interview with Computer and Video games this afternoon.

Considering the amount of bad reviews it got for Playstation 3, I can't say that I am not surprised at the games success. The bad review may be because some unknown technical fault with the Playstation 3 version but I have not heard of any difficulties when it comes to Assassins so it could be simply because that the people that review the game simply just didn't like it.

I haven't played it personally so I cannot give you my opinion on the game as of yet but considering how many copies of the game were sold, I am sure that it is going to receive a 10/10 when I review it if I get a chance!

Now all we have to do is find out if the Assassins is going to stay on the shelves of the approximately 3.5 million games bought them.
