Tom Clancy's The Division 2 has not met the developer's expectations in regards to sales, more specifically referring to sales on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, as recently announced by Ubisoft.
The Ubisoft Massive-developed third-person shooter, and direct sequel to the 2016's
Tom Clancy's The Division, was released on the 15th of March for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC — with the latter actually managing to sell 10 times better than the first
The Division on Ubisoft's Uplay store.
Ubisoft's Chief Financial Officer Frederick Duguet attributes
Tom Clancy's The Division 2 lower sales on a more competitive market; alluding that other competing titles that launched during the same release window may have been an important factor.
"
The Division 2 ended up short of our ambitious expectations on console. We believe this was due in large part to a more competitive market than expected," said Duguet, while adding that they still expect the game to "
grow and gain traction," reminding us that, while
Tom Clancy's The Division 2 may have not sold as well as they hoped, the reception from fans has been satisfactory.
Washington D.C. is on the brink of collapse. Lawlessness and instability threaten our society, and rumors of a coup in the capitol are only amplifying the chaos. All active Division agents are desperately needed to save the city before it's too late. You are a member of the Division, an elite group of civilian agents charged with being the last line of defense. With DC at risk, it's time to gear up and use your unique skills to take on this new threat.
Tom Clancy's The Division 2 is currently available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
