Rainbow Six Vegas 2 sells 2M worldwide, Ubi raising fiscal guidance

Ubisoft announced today that Rainbow Six Vegas 2 has engaged retail with precision and sold two million units worldwide. GameDaily reports that due to RSV2’s initial sales and the continued momentum of Assassin’s Creed and Games for Everyone, the publisher raised its fiscal guidance and expects net sales of €920 million ($1.54 billion) from €875 million ($1.38 billion). Ubi’s CEO, Yves Guillemot, says 2008 is “off to be a record year” for the industry and company.
Modest reviews didn’t seem to put a damper on RSV2’s initial sales with Ubisoft calling them a “better than expected start.” If This is Vegas ends up selling exceptionally well — and boy, could Midway use the sales — we may see Vegas become the hottest video game setting since Omaha Beach.
