Ubisoft can't handle money. They expected the costs for ZombiU to replenish within a short time, but it was a completely different game once during develpoment and then they switched it drastically to become what it is today, and so it was more expensive than scheduled, and therefore they had astronomous sales hopes. Considering the install base, sales for ZombiU aren't that bad and haven't even been bad from day one, but they're still insufficient for Ubi, and so I claim they can't schedule propperly. Games like Splinter Cell Blacklist and those AC games couldn't sell well, unfortunately, because they don't fit the demographic. But those are ports. You don't need that huge manpower to create 1:1 ports, do you? Correct me if I'm wrong. So the budget for those games should be relativley low, yet still Ubi wanted to have sales on a same level as the other versions, which just doesn't make sense.

 

And then a vicious cicle started. Because of low sales, Rayman was considered on other platforms as well. And we all know what happened to Watch Dogs. They still release their dancing games anually, though.
