Well, Ubisoft apparently has a good excuse for why The Division’s servers crashed right after launch: according to their Blog, the new shooter is the most successful new game launch in the company’s history.
In addition, Ubisoft adds that, with Tom Clancy’s The Division, three of the four most-successful new brand launches in gaming history are Ubisoft brands – the other three are Assassin’s Creed, Destiny and Watch Dogs (Destiny is an Activision property).
“The launch of The Division is a tremendous achievement for Ubisoft, and demonstrates our unrivaled capacity to create fantastic new game brands and transform them into entertainment blockbusters,” said Yves Guillemot, co-founder and CEO, Ubisoft. “This is a momentous day for Ubisoft, but more importantly it marks the start of millions of players’ enduring engagement in The Division’s game world, which we are confident they will love.”
Ubisoft declined to release actual sales figures, but if The Division‘s sales are indeed better than Watchdogs, that means that Ubisoft’s latest has moved in excess of 4 million copies already.
