Ubisoft has to be one of, if not the most, out of touch gaming company

Nah, Activision Blizzard exists.

Not that Ubi are out of touch but simply creating games that follows market trends. Battle Royale games are hugely popular right now as are live games. Ubisoft are just catching up to the rest of the industry. As much as I would like a new Splinter Cell and PoP, they weren't really big sellers for them. I just hope they don't ruin/or water down AC because that's the only franchise that interests me from them.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time sold 14 million copies. It's baffling that they stopped making new games in that franchise.

14M was the Sands of time trilogy and PoP in total. Which is 4 games. Forgotten sands (the latest PoP) only managed an estimated 100K - https://www.ign.com/articles/2009/11/30/prince-of-persia-the-forgotten-sands-announced

"Ubisoft also dropped some sales numbers during the call. The revamped, cell-shaded Prince of Persia title from 2008 moved 2.5 million copies worldwide, and when combined with the 'Sands of Time' series, sales reached upwards of 14 million units total. "

For comparison some of the Assassin's Creed games sold upwards of nearly 10M each and they released those annually. And now every few/couple years. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-02-10-assassins-creed-valhalla-gave-ubisoft-its-best-ever-financial-results I'm sure the suits and stuff knows their stuff and done the numbers otherwise they wouldn't go the F2P, or multiplayer route for some of their franchises.
