Worldwide sales of Assassin's Creed 3 (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/assassins-creed-3) are now over 7 million, Ubisoft announced today. After selling 3.5 million (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/06/assassins-creed-3-sells-3-5-million-in-first-week/) in its first week, the latest entry in the historical series doubled that sell-through (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sell-through) figure by the one month mark, making it the fastest-selling game in Ubisoft's history.

The sales represent a significant rise from the series' beginnings. The original Assassin's Creed sold 2.5 million (http://www.joystiq.com/2007/12/13/assassins-creed-sells-2-5-million-copies/) in its first month, making it back in 2007 the fastest-selling new video game IP in the US. Assassin's Creed 3 first month sales falls just short of triple that.

Ubisoft also released some big old stats for the Colonial adventure, revealing 3 billion assassinations have been committed in the game since launch. That suggests an average assassination-per-player count of around 429, which even by video game standards is an awful lot of murder.Continue reading Assassin's Creed 3 climbs to 7 million sales worldwide, is Ubisoft's fastest-selling game (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/12/12/assassins-creed-3-climbs-to-7-million-sales-worldwide-is-ubiso/)
