It may not be obvious at a glance, but Ubisoft hasnot done very well on the PlayStation 4. Despite being strong supporters of the platform, with a whopping three multiplat releases for the platform so far(!), one can easily argue that Ubisoft has not gotten their returns on their investment.

Just look at their latest release, Rayman Legends. Despite being released only a few months after it was released on virtually every platform under the sun, for prices that were rarely much cheaper, this game ONLY SOLD about 43,000 copies week one on the PS4! This is despite the PS4 dominating the console market at the moment. In contrast, even the PS3 version has sold over 300,000 copies!

Things are even worse for games like Just Dance 2014. Despite being a major launch title, and one of the big IP's of latter Generation 7, the game has only sold about 150,000 copies in the few months since launch. That's an attach rate of about 2 or 3%!

Some people would argue that the decent sales of Assassin's Creed 4 make up for these poor performances. Not at all! AC4 was always going to sell well, due to its being one of the biggest games of the year. Considering the cost of AAA development in today's market, I'm going to assume Ubisoft barely broke even. Besides, if AC4 sold twice as much on the ancient PS3, wy should they supporrt the PS4?

Personally, I blame PlayStation fans. They will only buy games made as exclusives for the platform. How else do you explain Knack already having sold about a million copies, despite poor reviews? And games like Killzone: Shadow Fall just make things worse, competing with 3rd party games like Call of Duty and Battlefield!

Whoever is to blame, it's obvious that Ubisoft, by which I mean every third party imaginable, can't break even on the PS4. Rather than waiting a couple of months for the userbase to double or spending less money on porting games over, I suggest they completely drop the platform. How do you expect a video game company to function if they sell less games than would be possible if another company didn't make games?

tl;dr The subpar sales of a couple of games mean everybody should drop PS4 support.

Yes, of course this is a joke! I'm a fanboy, not an idiot. But seriously, it takes more than one "flop" to make a platform a failure. Remember,  loads of games flopped on the PS2 and DS. That doesn't mean companies should not support currently troubled platforms like the VIta or the Wii U.

Makes the arguments we had a year ago about Wii U 3rd party game sales seem a bit silly.

Pretty stupid thread again.

but does it though? I see what he is trying to do, but the fact is WIi U game sales from UBi ARE and still are bad. Hell just bringing PS4 into it makes it look worse, should have gone with X1

They should abandon every console and be OUYA exclusive

Cease PS4 production,


rayman sold poor

Exactly! No AAA Ouya game has ever flopped!

No, because those are retail numbers. I always assume every PS4 game sells 6+ million digital copies unless it's proven otherwise.

Ps4 sold the best after months long late port. Joke threads stand on proving a point. This thread fails

Are you just mad that the Wii U's fanbase just isn't into third parties? Ubisoft, EA and the lot of them have had great sales on Playstation. Assassins Creed sells very well on the Playstation and so did many other titles. Nintendo is the only company whom has trained its gamers not to support third party because of years of bad relationships with them.
