No More Heroes 1,No More Heroes 2, Red Steel 1 and Red Steel 2. Those games could have had better LTD sales if there developers showed them some DAMN SUPPORT!

Why Ubisoft? WHY?

Why publish or develop a game knowing that you're not going to give it support by making tv ads or something?

They have been doing this for awhile now. They NEVER gave Beyond Good and Evil (published/dev'd) the support it deserved either.  They released a commercial for it (I remember seeing it during Adult Swim on Saturday Night) and I reserved it on Sunday for the next Tuesdays release.

I guess this is just how Ubisoft does business.

Maybe, but Assassin's Creed 2 got significant advertising (or so I heard).

Every tv add I saw for AC2 (hell every ad I can actually remember) showed the game with a PS3 and only showed the game for PS3.  Sony had to have something to do with these commercials (like MW2 + Xbox, FF13 in the west + Xbox).  When you have someone else to help you with the ad campaign, IE MS or Sony, makes sense to use it as much as possible.
