Ubisoft is losing money now that the DS isn't giving them any more free cash. Also because they're spending huge R&D developing those $60 million 8th-gen games that Guillemot is so excited about.

LMAO, yes that's the reason.

You sound sarcastic. You don't think that Ubi's DS unit sales share dropping in half or their 60 million Euro (hey, that's the size of their operating loss!) increase in R&D budget are the big driving factors here?

no, that's not why, the big 60 million dollars games you spaek of sold 9 million copies so far, esaily making up the difference plus more. Now, to get an answer to your question, answer this first , how many games did Ubisoft release on the PS3/360 last quater?

Sorry, I tried to clarify this in an edit. I'm talking about the year, not the quarter. After all, the 60 million Euro operating loss being reported is for the year, not the quarter.

For the year, HD console games accounted for 45% of Ubi's sales up from 39%. DS sales dropped from 29% to 14%. Seems to me that for the year, HD sales are pretty static, while DS sales dropped through the floor.

The source answered the question about the year, the DS sales has cost them tons of sales, but enough about the 60 million dollars game stuff.
