New Assassins Creed Next Year, Brotherhood sales pass 1m in Europe

Ubisoft's Assassins Creed:Brotherhood  managed to reach over a 1m copy in less than a week across Europe, making it publishers fastest selling game, and overall their most selling franchise.

The successful release of the first two games made Brotherhood the fastest selling game across the European region.

To date, the Assassin’s Creed games have sold in excess of 20m games. The series is on course to have sold 30m units by the end of 2011 – just in time for the fourth game, which hits late next year, said Geoffroy Sardin, EMEA chief of marketing and sales at Ubisoft.
“If you compare [the 1m in a week] with last year’s ACII sales this is a big jump – so it’s a great achievement,” .
“It’s the best launch in the history of Ubisoft’s European sales, and our best-selling launch title ever.”
