Ubisoft not finding much success with latest Wii games

This actually doesn't include Rabbids Go Home. The report is for April through September.

Number of games sold:

April: 690,425
May: 439,382
June: 386,547
July: 394,511
August: 296,745
September: 367,952

Total sales for this time frame: 2,575,562

Total sales for the life of these games up to the end of September: 16,738,783

It seems to me, the problem is that Ubisoft's games are just getting old. The legs of their best selling games are starting to dry up and there is nothing to replace it. They did not have a single big release during this time frame, and some months didn't have any releases at all (or they didn't make the chart).

Their top sellers by far were My Fitness Coach and Gold's Gym: Cardio Workout. After that RRR: TV Party and Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip were the next best selling games.

The problem? By the end of September all those games were over 44 weeks old. That means Ubisoft hasn't released anything big on the Wii in almost a year. That is their fault, not Wii gamers, not the Wii, and not Nintendo.

So what were the games Ubisoft released on the Wii during this time frame?

Dawn of Discovery (June 2009)
Summer Sports 2: Island Sports Party (July 2009)
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (September 2009)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up (September 2009)
Where's Waldo? The Fantastic Journey (September 2009)
Price is Right: 2010 Edition, The (September 2009)
Family Feud: 2010 Edition (September 2009)

Did they really expect these games to take off? Or did they expect the legs of their existing games to hold up better? It is possible they were expecting more out of the TMNT game, but for this report, the game had only been out for ONE WEEK.

Would Ubisoft complain about the sales of their HD games if their lineup had been this empty? Somehow, I think not.

Bravo to you sir, I'm archiving this.

I always wanted to do this:.................
