Assassin’s Creed II, the latest game from Ubisoft has been on store shelves for a week now and has seen some impressive sales; sales that should continue to grow even stronger into the holidays.

In the wake of the Modern Warfare 2 release, which is eating up a lion’s share of game sales it’s hard to believe another game could be selling so well. However as of right now, Assassin’s Creed II has sold 1.6 million copies worldwide, a number that is a 32% growth over what the first Assassin’s Creed did in it’s opening week. The game has been getting very positive reviews all around the web, even scoring a 5 out of 5 right here at PlayStation LifeStyle. At 1.6 million, it seems that AC II might be able to push past the 2 million sold mark pretty soon.
