As much as I agree with a lot of that rethoric, ZombiU hasn't sold a million, and Ubi didn't profit from it.

I'm not disputing what you're saying and thank you for the article.

That said, VGChartz has ZombU pinned at 0.93 million right now and I do believe that it will cross 1 million before the Wii U's life is over.  The fact that ZombiU can't be profitable with those sorts of sales blows my mind.   I started out as an N64 gamer and back then a million-selling game got recognition and a big price cut for those kinds of sales.  I honestly don't know about the gaming industry anymore...



Big games today need at least 5 million, or even 10 million, to be profitable. However ZombiU didn't seem to be a particularly high budget game.

I understand if Minecraft on the Wii U didn't use the gamepad if it was released years ago, but when it's so late, you better put some effort.
