Ubisoft recently revealed a new installment in the Assassin’s Creed franchise, and they have also revealed that the Assassin’s Creed 3: Liberation on the PS Vita has sold 600,000 units.
The publisher is happy with these figures and has said that with the right product there’s money to be made on the Vita.
Sony recently reduced the forecast of the Vita and that made many people believe they had given up on it, but considering almost 1 in 6 Vita owners bought Liberation, it suggests that the platform is still viable.
“We wouldn’t discount PS Vita,” Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot told investors. “If you have the right product at the right quality it could work.”
The game was released last year on the Vita and was met with good critical acclaim. Our review of the game also praised it and called it “an Assassin’s Creed game on the PS Vita, with production values you’ve never quite seen before on any handheld, and the overall experience can be fun if you don’t really take the game too seriously.”
