Betrayed by EA and Ubi? Its not EA's and Ubisoft's job to lose money on a platform to help that platform


Funny, cause they took up that job for the PS360.

The ps360 sales justified the development

And before that the Ps2 SW sales and 360s user base justified their development as well.

Wiis SW sales? Sucked for 3rd parties. Wii Us user base? Terrible for 3rd parties.

Contradictions, contradictions everywhere.




I seem to recall Ubi making a bankload of cash off of Wii titles (Raving Rabbids, Just Dance, Michael Jackson Experience). Those titles counted for about 40 million copies sold. I'd say that justifies Wii U development.

Even EA can't claim it didn't profit off of the Wii. EA Sports Active sold almost four million units, and the Tiger Woods games kept selling around a million units year after year. The MySims franchise sold about 1.5 million units the first two years and one million units with the third entry, but I guess gamers quickly got tired of that series getting overmilked. Either way, EA banked off of the Wii too.

So if PS360 sales justify Ubi/EA taking losses on their predecessors, then EA's support really should be "unprecedented" like it was promised. I'll give Ubisoft credit for sticking with the Wii U thus far, though not releasing Rayman Legends in the Spring was stupid.
