I have noticed that there are many new players appearing on these forums lately, and in a number of cases these new players have been sold on the idea by SH5, then after doing their research have ended up buying SH3 or SH4. I myself fit into this category. So to some extent, Ubisoft have profited from SH5 via SH3/4.

Do you think when they make up the sales figures for SH5 that they take this into account? Perhaps they are more interested in bringing in new players to the franchise than they are selling any particular version of the game.

I haven't been around long enough to know, but have any of you long-timers noticed an increase in the number of new players to SH3/4 coming in since the release of SH5? Just wondering....
