The boycott is also an image thing, as well as a money thing. A boycott would need to be pretty large to hurt wal-mart, but the store has long had an image problem already.
Ubisoft may be large, but a reputation for cheapness and a lack of concern for quality would hurt a game developer more than a long-entrenched store chain. Again, EA wasn't above trouble with the way they treated their employees, and I think they had to settle a suit about it.
So Ubisoft cannot be above somethig that would hurt their reputation. A boycott, even if it doesn't cost them much money, would be bad publicity.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
