So Wii's their highest %...interesting.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

Ubisoft is losing money now that the DS isn't giving them any more free cash. Also because they're spending huge R&D developing those $60 million 8th-gen games that Guillemot is so excited about.

I'm surprised Avatar did well on the Wii to get a special mention.
So, it did better than the other versions? (we have the 360/PS3 versions well above)

 

edit: BTW, what were their expectations for Red Steel 2?

I'm surprised Red Steel 2 wasn't mentioned in the same sentence as "bomb". But they didn't expect more than 250.000 so...

What??? You mean after dozens of Imagine games, they can't milk it any more?



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

LMAO, yes that's the reason.

You sound sarcastic. You don't think that Ubi's DS unit sales share dropping in half or their 60 million Euro (hey, that's the size of their operating loss!) increase in R&D budget are the big driving factors here?

Just to be clear, I'm looking at the full year, not just Q4.

Almost 9 million for AC2, which mean it will get past 10 million soon.
