Sure, however it seems more like a self-fulfilling prophecy than a matter of causality.

I can't remember seeing a blockbuster IP by Ubisoft premiering on the U, do you?

To recall, AC 1's 1st release date was Nov 13 2007.

Who knew that Assassin's Creed would be a blockbuster in 2006/7 when it was announced/released.  It was a new IP for the time.  Ubisoft did not have any exclusives permiering on the PS3 either as AC 1 went multiplatform before release and sold better on the 360.  ZombiU IS a blockbuster (costing more than Assassin's Creed did as Yves IP put the cost of AC < 20 mil) for the U and it fell flat on its face.

Then Ubi did something SERIOUSLY wrong, as there's no way ZombiU should cost more. That game should have at least broken even.
