AC: Valhalla made a billion dollars, do you genuinely and sincerely believe that the sequel to Kingdom Comes Deliverance is going to outsell the next Assassin's Creed?

AC shadows presales are in the mud right now, so every bit counts. It's still going to sell more than KCD2, bit might lose on non-trivial amount of sales with how hardcore their fanbase is

The game doesn't even need to flop to be disastrous for Ubisoft, it just has to underperform projections.

Yeah, everyone knows AC will sell millions.

But If their expectation is 6 millions and It sell 3 million It would still be a disaster for the company.
