Top selling Ubisoft game franchises revealed


Ubisoft has had a terrific last few years with a number of best selling games to its credit. Now the company has revealed exactly how many games its various franchises have sold over the years. According to a Gamesindustry.biz article the top seller is their Rayman series which have sold a whopping 22 million copies. The next three spots are all games based on the Tom Clancy brand (Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell, and Ghost Recon) which together have sold a total of 55 million copies. No wonder Ubisoft wanted to buy the full rights to the Tom Clancy name.

The rest of the list shows some interesting figures such as Assassin's Creed selling six million total copies despite only being released for less than a year and the Brothers in Arms franchise selling 5 million copies over the years. Oddly enough, Ubisoft added the Driver franchise to the list with 14 million copies. However the vast majority of those games were sold by its previous owner Infogrames/Atari (Ubisoft bought the franchise and its developer, Reflections Interactive, in 2006).
