Ubisoft’s likeable PlayStation Vita spin-off Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation has snuck up on a brand new milestone, selling “close to 600,000 units”. The publisher announced the statistic as part of a post-earnings financial call earlier today, though its terminology was mixed throughout. As such, it’s not entirely clear if the company has shipped the aforementioned figure to retailers, or actually sold that number of games to consumers. Either way, it’s a pretty impressive tally for an exclusive release on a platform with a very limited install base.
To be fair, the third-person stealth title was bundled pretty heavily during the Black Friday period, which no doubt had an impact on sales. One particular package included a Crystal White console, a copy of the game, a voucher for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, a 4GB memory card, and a 30 day subscription to PlayStation Plus for $179.99. Unsurprisingly, it sold out pretty swiftly.

I've heard so much good and bad about this game, it's nice to see lots of folks supporting ubi. Still waiting till its $20 tho : P
That's the super bundle I picked up. Very muchly worth it, even though I haven't played ACIII all that much.
The overall is good, but I hate say this, yet this is the assassin Creed having worst lasting appeal for me
Wondering if below 600 thousand is good, guess it's dangerous for other titles below it...
I actually really enjoyed Liberation, it has its flaws and on the whole probably isn't as good as AC 3, but I did think Aveline was a better character than Connor.

Considering how things have gone for Vita so far I'd say 600K is at least a moderate success. I think what will really determine how successful it was is if Ubi decides to keep support Vita or not.
