It's interesting to see PC as their most profitable platform this year.  Let's translate their %'s into euro amounts to see what is really going on.

Ubisoft net bookings (in millions of euros)

	2018 %	2018 net	2019 %	2019 net
PS4	38%	145.0	31%	97.4
XB1	22%	83.9	18%	56.6
PC	24%	91.6	34%	106.8
NSW	5%	19.1	5%	15.7
Mobile	7%	26.7	7%	22.0
Old Consoles	1%	3.8	0%	0.0
Other	3%	11.4	5%	15.7
total		381.5		314.2

Looks like almost every category is down in net bookings except PC and Other.  Kind of makes sense when you realize that Sony/Microsoft consoles are getting old, and that is where most of their investment is.  However profits from PC gaming is definitely up for them.  I wonder if the Epic game store is helping them out?  I would think a major new platform like that would increase PC game sales across the board.

Very much doubt that, since Ubisoft has it's own store there and it's necessary for Ubisoft games.

On the other hand, Anno 1800 apparently had the best sales in the series history, so no small wonder it's numbers went up. Also, Rainbow Six: Siege is increasing it's player base, and probably most of them are on PC.
