Thats something else. For Ubisoft the DS is (not surprisingly) much more important than the PSP. Nintendo DS 2006/2007 - Q4: 20% // Full Fiscal Year: 11% 2007/2008 - Q4: 27% // Full Fiscal Year: 26% PSP 2006/2007 - Q4: 4% // Full Fiscal Year: 5% 2007/2008 - Q4: 2% // Full Fiscal Year: 4% But PS3 and 360 are 2times and 3times as important as the Wii (and the Wii is dropping. PlayStation 3 2006/2007 - Q4: 5% // Full Fiscal Year: 2% (System not released until 11/06) 2007/2008 - Q4: 23% // Full Fiscal Year: 20% Xbox 360 2006/2007 - Q4: 29% // Full Fiscal Year: 28% 2007/2008 - Q4: 33% // Full Fiscal Year: 26% Wii 2006/2007 - Q4: 14% // Full Fiscal Year: 14% (System not released until 11/06) 2007/2008 - Q4: 9% // Full Fiscal Year: 10% Of course this is just a snapshot and Ubisoft had the huge hit Assassin's Creed this year which of course pushed 360 and PS3. But it would be nice to have total software revenue per console. Because this is the one important number for third-party support. |
Nah, did you see the previous ones from Ubi soft?Back near wen Red Steel and RRR sold a million copies? On those reports the Wii was up there on top in terms of the money it made Ubisoft. That was back when they then promised Nintendo quality gaming, and swore they wouldnt put shovelware on the Wii anymore. Then what did we get from them last quarter? No Assasins Creed, hell nothing worth mentioning at all really.
I disagree with that being important for third party support. Nintendo was on top for Ubi earlier this year, and it amounted to zero. In the end the companies are going to do whatever the hell they want to.
