Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed II has sold 1.6 million copies in its first week of release worldwide.

This number is not surprising due to the critical reception and internet buzz surrounding the November 17th release. If you compare these numbers to the previous Assassin’s Creed game release, Assassin’s Creed II is up 32% in sales.

I played it and finished it and I will be eagerly awaiting the third installment, even though nothing has been said yet.

A new PSP-3000 bundle is available today, on the day that Assassin’s Creed II is available for the PlayStation 3 as well. Italso includes the Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines PSP game and a PlayStation Network Voucher for the Angels & Demons movie.

Packed in the Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines PSP Entertainment Bundle:
– White PSP-3000 system
– 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo
– Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines UMD game
– Angels & Demons movie PlayStation Network Voucher
– Sony Music Voucher for 10 song downloads
