no no. they would just promise it to have 8gflops GPU and 16GB of Ram and give us one that has a 1gflop with 3 gb of ram. of course, we wouldnt know until it actually released and they would claim no downgrades ever happened. 

I don't think the console market has more room for another big console, right now. If so, WiiU would be successful and besides, thanks to indirect competition of the Smartphone market, things may not so well by the end of the 8th gen (probably).

But of course this is relative. If they create a good console and more exclusives, essential ones, they could change the market. Both the 3 big companies changed the console market when they released their first devices, so it's not an impossible task, It just requires A LOT of money and even though Ubi is successful as a 3rd party, I don't think they have the funds to invest in a console that can be competitive and successful at the same time. Very risky if you ask me.

Are you sure about that ? XD

Based off the data above Ubisoft's market capitalization comes in at around roughly 2 billion dollars whereas I remember Nintendo being WELL over 10 billion dollars. 

Referring to manpower.  Which is truly the worth of a company.  Market cap is nothing more than the total value of all outstanding shares.   It doesn't reflect their spending or buying power.  More the value of the company itself.

No they will not..

In just few years.. the consoles are gone (mayby MS, sony and nintendo will do one more, but thats it)

The tv and phones can soon be used as "consoles" so it make much more sense for Ubi to just stick with Uplay.. mayby see if they can do a deal with samsung..

But i think the future of gaming (and we talk not more than 3-5 years) will be more like the video streaming services.. lots of different "channels" and it will not even make sense for Ubi then.. as a 3 party, they can be on all the videogame services (apple, google, samsung, nintendo, sony, ms, valve ,amazon, disney and other)

Could you explain how the number of employees is actually the worth of a company compared to the market cap ? I'm pretty sure Apple could be considered the biggest public company even though there are alot of others like sony who have more employees than them. Even IBM has like 5 times the amount of employees and no one else considers them to be bigger than Apple. Nintendo still has more money in their reserves than Ubisoft does. 

If they were to enter the console market, the DRM would make what MS was trying to do look like childs play.

What is the product?  Games?  Games take people.   Ubisoft has nearly twice as many people working on games in their studios than does Nintendo.  That is a much better indicator of their ability to establish themselves as a 1st party console holder than market cap.   Market cap, again, only tabulates the value of outstanding shares.   Cash reserves are a totally different factor.   You can have a big market cap and no cash reserves.  Or good cash reserves and small market cap.

And what if your company were privately owned?
