I guess what he's trying to say is that Ubisoft Montreal is better at making games. Therefore, even if people don't know it's them behind the game, the quality they put into it will drive the sales.

Well, Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends have much better reviews than Watch Dogs or most AC-games... didn't really help them.

Perhaps the development budget and PR-budget is more important than the actual quality of these games. ;)

There you see how little the experts' opinion may tell about the quality of a game. The critic was proven wrong after Assassin's Creed to sell strongly and its sequels having much better reviews.

It seems the development budget was the same between Assassin's Creed 1 and Zombie U. As for the PR-budget I don't know but Zombie U was presented as a great novelty for the next generation, just like Assassin's Creed.
