Assassin’s Creed 3 Sells 3.5 Million Units in Its First Week

Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin's Creed 3, its latest action game, had sold over 3.5 million units in its first week alone.

Assassin's Creed 3 was eagerly awaited by millions of fans from all over the world and, despite the fact that it was released last week only on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, as the PC and Wii U versions will appear later this month, the game has already impressed.

According to a statement from Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, over 3.5 million copies of Assassin's Creed III have been sold worldwide, representing a year-on-year increase, as opposed to Assassin's Creed: Revelations, of over 100%.

You can expect these already impressive figures to grow even more later this month, when the game arrives on the PC and Nintendo Wii U platforms.

Until then, you can still buy it for the PS3 and Xbox 360 home consoles.
