How have other AC games sold in Japan?

Very clearly, if someone wants to present the case that Ubi's choice of themes is detrimental to their business, they need to present the data at this point. The argument has been dependent on rhetoric and reference to arbitrary voices as a representation of some form of consensus. Shadows is a...

Taking in 2 minutes of that video, they look very alike in terms of overall presentation and feel to me.

With genetic markers for cow, potato, and wheat, if preceded by lunch at a burger joint?

Yes. All these games have an initial spike and then numbers decrease over time - their biggest peak is always in the first few days of launch.

As our only reference, Odyssey sold 10 million units. It depends what one counts as successful. Few games sell that many, so that would be a success in terms of sales, but maybe not in terms of recuperating a huge investment. Perhaps Ubi spent larger thinking a proportional return and will be...

It absolutely was: Maybe you misunderstood the point, but to the rest of us, it's obvious the perspective Iroboto was providing and what the argument should be about. This comment, the one that spawned this conversation, is clearly not saying anything about last-gen titles being able to support...

The statement was X1X could not run AC:Shadows, proving the value of modern rendering techniques and how those techniques are only enabled in modern hardware. It was clearly about obtaining the same results as XSX. XSX can attain its performance in Shadows through use of modern techniques. More...
