Ubisoft slashes its sales expectations for the upcoming action title.
Ubisoft has cut sales projections for Red Steel 2, due out in March 2010, in half from 1,000,000 to 500,000. This comes shortly after Ubisoft's "Avatar: The Game" sold under projected figures last month.
"For Avatar we said 2.5 million units and our expectations were more in the 3.5-4 million [region]. On Red Steel we decided, in our expectations, to divide the quantity by two and previously we had around a million," said Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot on a financial conference call earlier this week.
The game, which was originally slated to release in fall of 2009, will release in North America on March 23, according to the Ubisoft webpage.
