There's a reason they won't show them.

Show us the sales numbers instead of player numbers.

yeah sure

Peak sold 10 million according to Geoff. You'd think if they sold more than that then Ubisoft would be hollering at the rooftops to get back the investor confidence and yet they don't. Odd how they don't do this if they are supposedly this successful.

Yasuke did exactly what Ubisoft wanted him to do which was to include a western coded character as a playable option for an Assassins Creed game set in Japan. East Asian men are not marketable and are a hyper minority in the US and Europe. The decision to feature Yasuke allows for Ubisoft to market this game in the west leveraging the current cultural zeitgeist of the hip-hop and rap in addition to modern racial movements such as Black Lives Matter

They could have also included a white western male like Willian Adams to fulfill the same purpose, but that would come with the drawback of criticisms of whitewashing and white saviorism that would have made for poor publicity.

Corporations do not care about wokeness for the sake of it. Everything is about money. They concluded that a Black male lead was a financially beneficial decision for the markets they intended sell this game to and it worked.

what is the source?

Still not buying it

>>718776289 (OP)
What are the numbers Ubi? Surely you would celebrate this massive success

>>718777378
my fever dream

>>718777101
Here's what confuses me the most; So if you have to jump through so many hoops, and create so many caveats and use weasel words and dishonest framing of cherry-picked data just to create the conclusion that "(If you only source in these specific countries and by this specific publisher and in this specific time frame and discount these other specific categories) is the highest selling game in the world*!"

What is the point? What is accomplished by doing so much work to get such a headline, much less write such a nonsense and useless article, about a game no one even remembers exists? Who benefits from this article existing?

> the game where you play as a gay black SHAM OORAII is a best selling game in Europe, trust me bro

- doesnt show any sale numbers
- 10 million players bro
- company shares are dropping harder then thenmexicans getting deported back to their shithole
- company is getting bought by tencent

Omegalol

>These are also numbers based on Europe alone, of course. Despite Monster Hunter's growing popularity, it's probably safe to assume the bulk of that ten million sold were to fans of the series in Japan. Europe is still more than enough of a snapshot to be an accurate representation of how games are performing worldwide, though. Especially with this data accounting for 71 million games being sold across the continent during the first seven months of 2025.

Ah yes, Europe is of course known for being the driving force in vidya. Surely it's not the billions of screen addicted chinkoids and japs that dominate most of the gaming market. I'm sure even the US has a higher capacity.

>Assassins Creed Shadows is the best selling game of all time and more popular than every other game combined
>Assassins Creed Shadows underperformed because of evil racist CHUDS
Which is it

>>718777602
Investor confidence, which is moot at this point because everybody knows Ubisoft is a failing company.

>>718777602
All the shit you do is to please investors. Investors have more money than IQ. They want even more money. Convince them that the investment is gonna make bank and enjoy your millions.

he left out the 'in Europe, physical only' this time
LOL

amazing cope in this thread, like /v/ will ever understand normal people don't care what 4chan or the internet thinks of something before buying it

>>718777602
it's practice for when they have to report on Israel

>>718776732
You're also forgetting they didn't actually give out any of their stats because people would laugh at how hard they bent over backwards to pull that headline out their ass

They're also not counting games from last year, which outsold them in 2025. Or expedition 33, who's publisher doesn't report. Or all of Nintendo's MK sales.

>>718776896
Absolutely. And if they had sold it as a Kaiju game, instead of insisting it was history and almost getting their ass banned in Japan, they would have done much better.

>>718777602
The point is to keep dumb investors in the dark AND to make sure their friends stay employed and land in good jobs. It's also why you see the shitposters spam this trash. And of course it's not like Ubisoft has any actual new AAA to sell right now

You know the dude who insisted on Yasuke, and decided to have him do Johnny Somali shit in promotional videos is still at Ubisoft, making 6 figures a year?

The character designer for concord who went on public bitchfests about white people got hired by actiblizz and is now on COD.

Project manager for Veilguard who went on tours bashing chuds in the press is still leading a team for Hasbro/WOTC.

>>718776289 (OP)
sources close to those that know how game journalists think claim your title might be slightly wrong

>>718777823
Not quite. They still have bag holders who haven't figured out exactly how much the Tencent deal screws over normal shareolders, and the exit strategy to leave them with nothing.

>>718778151
I just want to see actual sales numbers, surely that's possible, right?

>>718778234
Have you not been paying attention to the gaming press since GG? I mean look at how crazy it had to get for Gawker to get Hoganed.

>>718779838
That's antisemetic.

>>718776289 (OP)
Why did they have to make him so ugly? Yasuke in Nioh looks good

Nobody actually believes this, we all know it sold like shit, and the only reason this thread exists is to ragebait for pol. Nobody would talk about this game otherwise.

>>718779581
>Johnny Somali
kek I forgot about that guy. whatever became of him? last time I remember he was in some legal limbo in corea.

>its to fool the investors
>stock down 44% yoy, 86% over 5 years
What... what is the goal here except to enrich short sellers?

I don't understand. If the game was such a success, what would Ubisoft gain by hiding instead of showing off their milestones?
Is this just wishful thinking powered by mass copium? Did OP even buy the game?
It feels like Shadows was nothing beyond being the latest culture war battleground for a month. Just another ubislop turd thar happened to sabotage its own potential with the Japanese shit.

Remember when you could get concrete sub numbers for WoW? All this doubly applies because the companies are publicly traded, so not having this data publicly available is withholding financial performance from potential investors

You forgot that they only count "new games". Fifa, or whatever it's called now is at the top.

>>718780091
Even better. The korean public decided that they could make Japan look weak by treating Johnny Somalli as they think he deserved. So other Koreans saw it as their patriotic duty to locate where he was 24 hours a day, record him planning and doing crime, trying to disrupt his streams, some by playing copyrighted music, some by blocking his camerman, and then there's the korean navy seal, youtuber.

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/articles/former-south-korean-special-forces-044128641.html
>“I just did what I had to do as a Korean citizen.”
Got fined a thousand dollars. Got other people to help pay the fine. The fine goes to the Korean goverment.

Somali's currently on trial, has plead guilty to pretty much all the "fucking with people's businesses" charges.

The charges where he made and played deepfake porn of a korean streamer are the most serious ones, and those are going to trial in October right now.

Scorecard: related.

At this point they've realized that zoomers care a lot about sales figures a lot for some reason so they're just lying about it.

Shadows did not do well, Ubisoft is not in a good financial situation.

>>718781413
lmao, worst Korea is based for once.

SEC only requires them to post CPA verified information about their profits and losses. The exact level of detail doesn't need to be very high.

It's up to the investors to know, and to know what it means when they hide numbers. Tencent for example did get the exact sales, sub and rev figures for Shadows.

What they DID report? Net bookings down 20 percent. They had a 18 percent fucking drop in revenue, even though they released 5 AAA games last year.

And comprare last years schedule to this one's.

*in selected European countries

You faggots were saying the same thing when Circana put it among the best selling game in the US.
"It's only on march, it will go down next month... umm ok maybe not, but in april it will definitely go- wait, okay, maybe in june- no, july- AAAACK!"
You lost, get over it.

>>718779581
>The point is to keep dumb investors in the dark
Surely the investors, the ones most interested in who's fucking with their money, would demand hard numbers and not corporate backwards speech or threaten to pull out faster than a married man in crazy, right?

Name one reason to believe Circana, GFK and GSD would lie about Ass Creed Shadows specifically when they have been accurately positng sales charts since their inception.

>>718783367
is that what theyre calling facts and reality now?

>>718776732
This isn’t much of a flex but Call of Duty always comes out on top in terms of sales no matter what. Saying literally any game that isn’t CoD or a Rockstar game outselling everything is such a retarded statement to make, particularly for a dying franchise like Assassins Creed

>>718783638
They aren't lying. The people reporting the numbers down the line just aren't truthful about the scope of the stats from circana and co.

>>718783638
Not them, the journos who make headlines like "ASSCREED IS THE BEST SELLING GAME OF THE YEAR" and then you read the article and it's in Europe, and it's actually second place because EA Sports from last year is still #1.

How many Japanese twinks can Yasuke bottom for?

>>718776289 (OP)
You are now aware that this counts 'sales' as anyone who played it on a streaming platform like ubisoft ones or the xbox shit

>>718783928
That and they only report on games from publishers who share data with them, which is why Expedition 33 isn't on their lists, IIRC their publisher didn't share digital sales data.

The ESG paycheck

Let's be honest, even if Ubislop actually did disclose sales numbers and it turned out the game sold 10 million copies or something people would still go "LMAO only 10 million when Monster Hunter sold 20 million" and pretend it's a failure anyway. This was never about the quality of the game or "go woke go broke", people hate Ubislop (for good reason) and will engage with anything they do or say in bad faith as a result.

>>718783367
>”we know the sales now and they’re higher than all the others!”
>okay, can we see the sales then?
>”uhh COPE! SEETHE!”

>>718784993
They quite literally haven't been disclosing sales numbers for almost a decade, even Valhalla, the AssCreed they consider to be the most successful of them all, still has no sales numbers reported, only "20 million players" and that it generated 1 billion in revenue.

>>718776289 (OP)

Actually they did claim Origins, Odyssey and Far Cry 6 sold over 10m copies in a fiscal report, but that was reported in 2021, Origins came out in 2017 and Odyssey in 2018.

>>718784993
This unironically, it's the same shit when faggots see a Stellar Blade thread and go "hurrr durrrr you only post pics of the MC's ass where's the gameplay" and then you post gameplay and they just say it's shit and leave, bad faith actors are retarded and no one should give them any attention.

>>718777602
It's called a bandwagon fallacy also known as appeal to popularity or ad populum.

>>718777602
because the vast, VAST majority of people who look at online news literally just read the article title, MAYBE skim the first couple sentences, then keep scrolling, subconsciously convinced that what they just read is a hard fact, and it will now affect every decision they make in life, this is how you have bizarre modern phenomena in the US like hundreds of millions of people believing provably false "facts" that can be debunked with a 5 second google search, the end result is a huge amount of potential customers now think AC:Shadows is amazing and should purchase it for whatever little retarded gamer zoomer is in their family

this is literally the only reason, every other reply is overthinking it

>>718779984
why'd they make the other playable protag Filipino instead of Japanese? because FUCK you.

seriously when I found out that ugly bitch wasn't even Japanese herself, meaning you can't play as a Japanese person in the Japanese ASSCREED I laughed hard.

It sold under 700k, which for alot of studios, 15 years ago, is passable.

for Ubisoft that likely didn't cover 1/3 the budget, its fucking ogre.

>>718784993
Let's be actually honest here and Assuming it did happen, The only reason why it would have sold that much is because of the Assassins creed brand not because it is a good game

I don't care much about assassin creed but I might have tried out a Japan setting AC if it weren't for the shoe in black protagonist

>>718776289 (OP)
At what price?

Honestly? Id bet ubisoft had nothing to do with this.

And it worked of course.

>>718784993
Why of course anon would shitpost.

>This was never about the quality of the game
I expected little from someone who didn't even bother with a /v/ pic, but this is idiotic. You can find people talking about the various ubisoft games they liked over the decades with no problem.

>or "go woke go broke",
Ubisoft spawned SBI, and their diversity team had possibly their worst showing in AAA history, almost getting their asses banned in japan. And fucking Locksley?

Are YOU shitpoposting in good faith here? And of course you're ignoring that it's not just one game. It's an unpresidented bombfest of 2024, one that threatens the future existence of the company.

>>718790194
No fucking way. Consider the articles sucking ubisoft off pre release. In fact, I think the people spamming the article are Ubisoft's media team. They have no actual games to promote.

>>718789895
Well, they counted epic giveaway copies as sales in the past, so anything up to and including zero.

But no rev figures.
