FACT 1: More 3rd parties have gone bankrupt developing flops for the XBox 360 and/or PS3 than have gone bankrupt developing flops for the Wii. Despite 3rd party lies, the Wii is a safer market. It sells the most 3rd party software, has the most diverse software library, and has the cheapest development costs.
FACT 2: Repeatedly doing the same thing and expecting different results is evidence of insanity.
FACT 3: Ubisoft are about to release a rail shooter spinoff of a popular HD franchise, Ghost Recon, in light of evidence that every HD franchise that gets a "Wii lite" spinoff in the different genre than the fans are used to has flopped.
CONCLUSION A: The earlier hypothesis is correct. They're intentionally releasing "hardcore-esque" flops in order to convince their investors that they shouldn't change their failing business models. They'd rather go to enormous lengths to prove themselves correct than admit they were wrong.
CONCLUSION B: Ubisoft is insane and every dollar they've made has been the result of sheer luck.
CONCLUSION C: Both Conclusion A and B are correct.
