DS games represent 33% of all Ubisoft sales. Ubisoft is doing great because it supports all consoles.

 

I fully realise that, I just felt like I had to point out the idiocy of saying that supporting HD development causes developers to "bleed money," when we can clearly see that that's not necessarily true.

The point was that HC games have higher risk to make devs "bleed money". They cost more and players demand more than average. So its much harder to make a succesful HC game than casual game. Odds aren't that good really and HC games aren't really more profitable than casual games.
