Jefferies Group estimates the game sold almost 5 million units during launch week. In comparison, Far Cry 4 moved 8 million during its 1st year on the market. pic.twitter.com/iujZQRSoF5

Far Cry 4 had good legs right?Yeah it did. I think launch week was average but it did well throughout the rest of the holiday season.
I doubt 5 will beat it by that much once the dust settles, but that's a great launch. LOL at the going viral comment. That doesn't seem accurate at all.
Yeah it did. I think launch week was average but it did well throughout the rest of the holiday season.Every big game goes "viral" so are they acting like the holiday games and MhW didn't? Or are they acting like fortnight only went viral a month ago?
I have no idea what that source is, but people seem to think its accurate so...

Every big game goes "viral" so are they acting like the holiday games and MhW didn't? Or are they acting like fortnight only went viral a month ago?Well it depends on what they call viral but yeah MHW for example is one game that did at least as well as far Cry at launch

Or are they acting like fortnight only went viral a month ago?Fortnite only really went viral after all the big holiday games released. And Far Cry 5 is by far the biggest game of the year so far (only MHW comes fairly close).

Its a weird thing to say, but you can see where they're coming from.
Both far Cry and MhW sold 5m at launch. So they're about the sameOh yeah you're right I thought MHW took a lot longer.
Oh yeah you're right I thought MHW took a lot longer.Lol that's stupid though. Why wouldn't MHW be AAA
Oh, I guess Ubi don't consider MHW to be AAA. Didn't they say a few months ago that only a few pubs make AAA games now, according to their definition.
Lol that's stupid though. Why wouldn't MHW be AAABudget wasn't over $100m. Something along those lines.
Budget wasn't over $100m. Something along those lines.I have a hard time believing FC5 had a budget of over 100m, considering they've been rehashing the same engine for a long time.

Probably not too surprising given this is also true of The Division 2, and at one point, Assassin's Creed (though that was for mutliple products at one IIRC). GamesIndustry.biz said:QuoteGoing from producer to managing director of a co-development studio will require some adjustment on Long's part. He certainly has experience in distributed development teams. Far Cry 5's team was over 1,000 people worldwide, and spread between a number of studios. Ubisoft Toronto did about one-third of the game's open world, Ubisoft Shanghai was responsible for populating it with wildlife, and Ubisoft Kiev did work on the engine and the PC version.Click to expand...Source: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2018-04-06-ubisoft-opening-winnipeg-studio
