It's odd that they're calling it "resynced" sales when the game originally launched in 2013 and this article is clearly about its current sales figures, but the article doesn't actually explain what "resynced" means in this context—does it mean they're reissuing it with updated features or just rebranding the existing version?
The "resynced" bit refers to Ubisoft's practice of reclassifying the game's sales figures after the initial launch period, essentially rewriting their own sales data to make it appear as though the game sold more than it originally did. It's a transparent way of saying they're updating their numbers to account for the game's continued sales and re-releases across different platforms.
The "resynced" refers to Ubisoft's practice of recalculating and re-reporting historical sales data after a game has been re-released or remastered - they're basically admitting the original numbers were inaccurate or incomplete, which is why they're doing a new count rather than just saying "sales have hit 2M."
The article mentions that Black Flag sold two million copies, but doesn't specify whether that's worldwide or just in North America/Europe. Given that the game was released on multiple platforms and in different regions, it's hard to assess the significance of that number without knowing the geographic breakdown. Was the majority of those sales driven by the PC version, or did console sales contribute significantly to that total?
The article mentions that Black Flag's sales topped two million, but doesn't explain how this compares to previous Assassin's Creed games or what portion came from the resynced version versus original sales. It seems like the resynced version was supposed to be a major factor, but the numbers don't quite add up without more context about the actual sales breakdown.
