The games getting great sales because of all the negative press. It's like a reverse Hogwart's Legacy.

Ubisoft hasn't announced sales figures yet. They said it has 2 million players but the steam chart was showing like 60k concurrent, so either the overwhelming majority of players bought the game on console, or there's something significant about saying players instead of copies. I saw an article that pointed out that players would include everybody who is subscribed to Ubisoft Plus, so it may also be getting the Game Pass effect where a large number of people are downloading it for free.

As a point of comparison, I found an article from when Odyssey hit 60k concurrent on Steam and they were claiming about half a million copies sold on PC with Ubi reporting about 1.4 million sales opening weekend. Odyssey eventually went on to sell 10 million copies total. So either there was a massive shift in people going to console from pc, or Shadows is probably doing about as well as Odyssey and they're bumping the numbers up using subscription accounts.
