Reviews and word of mouth killed it. It quickly got a reputation as a quite uninspired game. 60k is still pretty good though.

The German market is also quite different from the North Americanmarket in some aspects. While the mainstream is similar, there are huge niches for strategy (Settlers, the Anno series), classic adventures and RPGs. The PC games market also is larger (percentage-wise), though it also appears to be shrinking (though it is hard to say, since online sales are often not included in the stats).

Ooh - speaking of which have you guys heard about the new Anno games for PC, DS & Wii coming out? I can see myself entrapping my kids in yet another franchise, mwahaha!

Anno 1404 PC is once again made by Related Designs. Ubi got a 30% share in the company when they bought Sunflowers. The console contracts went to Keen Games. They already did a good job with the last Anno conversion.

Far Cry 2 also got a BIU Award this week. So 100k are confirmed. Probably plus online sales.
