Thanks for breaking down the number of games on each console. What was the fourth game the PS3 had that the 360 didn't?

I didn't think PC and handheld revenue would be so low. Really shows how the home consoles are really pushing the market.

^I can't remember, I just used the ubisoft website and counted the games in that period (double checking dates with wiki).

Damn, shio told me the PC sales would rule them all.

Interesting stuff:

just for the consoles,
HD-Twins: 74%
Wii: 26%

Japan is lost for UbiSoft.
PC is dead for UbiSoft.
PS2 is dead for UbiSoft.
PSP is not the best platform for publishers.

They should have a % for just 'Assassin's Creed 2' as that game pretty much single handedly carried them through the year.

Nasty drop for the DS too, Ubisoft had a strong grasp on the European DS market but it seems piracy is starting to sting them there.

Fixed.

Ubisoft DS games are not the kind to be heavily pirated. I think I prefer Iwata's explanation, that interest in DS is declining because they haven't managed to make any new software into the sorts of phenomenon that Nintendogs, Brain Training, NSMB and MK:DS were. As interest in the DS declines, software naturally declines with it. Ubisoft would be hit hard by this, of course.

 Ubisoft said the drop was mainly in regions such as Germany, Scandanavia and North-East Europe, where piracy is growing stronger for the DS. I'm really basing what I said off of Ubisoft's quotes from their Fiscal report, as well as other interviewee's / publishers saying DS piracy is becoming more predominent in eastern Europe.

 The DS is starting to wind down too now it'd seem though, which doesn't help. The second hand market certainly makes it difficult for Ubisoft to keep releasing what are very similiar games and expect to charge full price. I think Scribblenauts success shows that you need software that'll stand out to get a huge hit.

 So er, I guess both explanations account for it. To have a drop-off to Ubisoft's extent though to me has to primarily attributed to Piracy, I believe they had DS revenue drop by over 50% which is hugeeee. 

Another signal that makes me think that DS2 is coming soon...

I hope that RedSteel2 will help increase the Wii % this year.

Keep your eyes on Friend Connection later this year.  The Sims + Animal Crossing + Miis = HUGE.

It goes to show why they want to introduce their new copy protection scheme. They have the numbers available, and if it works and is spread amongst other publishers it'll help. Otherwise pirates will simply not pay for the other games and ignore the Ubisoft titles for the most part.
