Rainbow Six Vegas Sequel Sights 2 Million
That's good news for Ubisoft's bottom line.
Ubisoft's latest Rainbow Six game debuted at the top of the UK chart in its opening weekend and it stayed near the top of the rankings this week. The situation is similar in countries around the world for Rainbow Six Vegas 2, and that's good news for the game's maker.
Ubisoft said on Monday that it has sold in - that is, sent to stores worldwide - more than 2 million copies of the tactical shooter for Xbox 360 and PlayStation.
Yves Guillemot, president of Ubisoft, said in a statement that the game had "a better than expected start".
"One year after the great success of the first title, the second iteration, which provides another unique multi-player experience in the much enjoyed Tom Clancy environment, is ranked among the top games on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in almost every country," Guillemot said.
P L E A S E V I S I T O U R S P O N S O R :
Thanks to the early success of Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Ubisoft is expecting its full-year sales for 2007-2008 to be 5 per cent higher than it previously advised.
