Assassin's Creed sold a million copies across PS5 and Steam as of Saturday.
This is okay but not the silver bullet Ubisoft needs. The Steam version is selling slower than I'd have thought too.
The game is damn GREAT, so I hope sales pick up soon.

Exited to see our data being used in such a professional way 👏
Astro Bot has now sold more than 2.3 million copies (it crossed 2M in Jan), as per Alinea Analytics (best data in the biz).
90% of Astro Bot players played Playroom, while 64% played God of War / Miles Morales.
This was a game for PS diehards, after all.

Hard to miss Hazelights latest hit! Split Fiction has surpassed 1M units across all platforms!
China plays a huge role: 50% of Steam & 26% of PlayStation
Only 16% of Steam wishlisters are from China, could support my theory that Chinese players wishlist less than Western players

#EMBRAC Since the last milestone, KCD II is selling ~28k/day (18k Steam, 6k PS, 4k Xbox est. from Alinea). That puts it at ~2.3M as of March 1. If momentum holds, ~3.1M by Q-end, but some decline is more likely, hitting 3M will be tight but could be doable.

Monster Hunter Wilds is officially out! There’s plenty of interesting data to dive into, do as many others and use Alinea Analytics for precise sales estimates on both Steam and PlayStation. You might be surprised by the number of copies sold already and the impact it’s having on other games!
$Capcom Monster Hunter Wilds releases today and is set to be one of the year's biggest.
Capcom’s FY 2024 guidance at 13M new units, implies 11M Q4 units. It is reasonable to assume that the majority of these are expected from Monster Hunter Wilds.
Steam pre-orders At an estimated 1.5M+ already
