So lets recap.

Ubisoft losing money, HD titles seem to be doing fine (we dont know for sure) but Ubisoft went out of there way to highlight Wii instability as a factor in them losing money.

EA Montreal shifting focus away from Wii titles due to Wii unpredictability.

Maybe its me but I sense a theme brewing...

As famousringo well pointed out, we should add that both developers have mostly made mediocre Wii titles... to put it mildly.

 

 

Here is some of Ubisoft Wii ventures:

Imagine series

My Coach series

Red Steel

No more heros

Shaun White

Tenchu

TMNT smash up

Raving Rabbids

 

----------

Titles range from the ultra casual to the hardcore, these are not medicore titles, if anything its show that the company is trying to find a Wii niche, but is having a hard time.

 

Now Ubisoft knows that if they release a HD Tom Clancy, Assassin Creed or Far Cry, they can bank on them selling 2+ million.  Being consistant has its advantages

 

I am repeating myself, but Ubisoft is not complaining about the Wii in general, just the Wii titles they have released recently.
