Train wreck on 10 February 2014
Hopefully for the last time...Wii U and profitability...
Assassin Creed (the original) had a budget of $20 million back in 2006 (statement from Yves Guillemot himself). New IP from Ubisoft that was slated to be a PS3 exclusive before going multiplat. using old data the game shipped 8 million back in 2009.
Fast forward to 2012
ZombiU:
New Ubisoft IP
Exclusive to Wii U
budget...at least $20 million (going by the logic they spent the same amount in 2006 dollars for another new IP its probably more in 2012 dollars)
Sales: unknown. Ubisoft has never given any official shipment numbers for the game
Profitable: per Yves Guillemot again, no where near it.
