Ubisoft expecting Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag to sell less than Assassin's Creed III
Coming from Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot...
The American Revolution was very appealing for our gamers, and the Golden Age of Piracy may be just as exciting, if not even more. Our targets conservatively reflect lower sales expectation for AC4 than for AC3...
...In our numbers we expect less than last year, but we are actually pushing to achieve more than last year because we think the pirate segment is a great segment that can generate a lot more on a worldwide basis than was achieved last year. But we wanted to be prudent on our expectations so it can only be a bonus if it comes.
It'll be interesting to see how the next installment does. I'm excited for it and I'm not a fan of the franchise. Maybe it'll be an entry to bring in new players.
