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.

Why? You're missing half the picture if you only look at revenues and ignore costs. It's a fact that while revenues are contracting, Ubi's R&D budget expanded 25% last year. Guillemot himself has stated that he thinks it will be the average cost of an 8th gen game, and I don't think that they're all going to sell 9 million units.
