The budgets of both games was about the same, and yet somehow AC: Shadows "broke every sales record" while EA's actions and veiled statements post-Veilguard indicate it probably was a costly flop.
I'm sure the exact words they said were true. But the statement that AC: Shadows had "the 2nd highest day one sales behind Valhalla", is a great way of lying with numbers.
AC Mirage basically went out there to die as a flop, and that means Shadows only beat games that came out 7-8+ years ago back when digital distribution wasn't nearly as common because people were still buying physical boxes.

I legit think Ubisoft bought their own game.
EDIT: lol lmao Cyberpunk 2077 is still more popular than AC: Shadows - https://steamdb.info/charts/?compare=1091500,3159330
