| famousringo said: It's an outlier quarter, no doubt, but PC revenue collapse is the only interesting news I see here. So handhelds are abandoned, Wii won't bring in easy profits anymore, PC sales aren't keeping pace, and mobile has largely been spun off to Gameloft. I'm not convinced that consolidating on two near-identical consoles is good news for a mega-publisher like Ubi. |
What PC revenue collapse? Total sales were up 374% so PC revenue is actually up by quite a lot YoY. Watch Dogs being broken on PC (many people are still suffering from unplayable stuttering that is only fixable via obscure mods which don't work for everyone), Uplay going down rendering it unplayable for the first day because of too much demand and having heavy bundling with Nvidia GPUs (likely settled as a lump sum deal similar to PS+) of course hurt it on PC. Plus it was heavily marketed towards Sony with exclusive DLC etc which is why even the PS3 pulled above the X360.
