Ubisoft is €80 million over initial target

Yesterday Ubisoft presented the numbers for the third quarter as well as for the first three quarters in this fiscal year, and it's looking good for the French company.

The target of €730 million (around £540.5 million) was more or less smashed and ended up closer to €809.7 (that's just shy of £600 million GBP).

This is mostly credited the games sold in the Assassin's Creed franchise (Unity and Rogue), plus Far Cry 4 and The Crew - they sold 10 million, 7 million and 2 million copies respectively. Also Just Dance did its part with 4 million copies shipped.

As a side note, Ubisoft states that Watch Dogs with its 10 million copies shipped, is their best game release in the EMEA region, and their second best in North America.
