I'm talking about Watchdogs!


Oh right. Well it's a late port in the lowest selling system (by then) that doesn't seem to sell core third party games. Watch dogs is their next multi million selling franchise (internally they're probably expecting anywhere from 6 - 10 million). Even if WiiU version launched day and date with the rest it would have likely sold on par with Assassins Creed and Call of Duty, around 250k. The fact it's a late port means it might do even less than that, it's really not worth Ubi's time to advertise it.

Freudian Slip much?

lul.

In this day and age, with the Internet, ignorance is a choice! And they're still choosing Ignorance! - Dr. Filthy Frank

Ubisoft has no "space" for all the ubisoft games they make for NIntendo so they will be shown in the Nintendo e3 presentation :)



So maybe just release a Just Dance for the Wii? It sells well enough.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

My point is they shouldn't even bother releasing the game. Instead of delaying it, they may aswell of just cancelled it since it's not going to sell either way now. As for advertising, you should always advertise any game you make, as I'd think you'd want to better it's chances of selling well, regardless of the system you made it for. If for some reason you don't want a game to sell on a system, don't make a game for said system. That makes a lot more sense than making a game only to doom it to failure by delaying it and not advertising it. You're only wasting time and resources doing that. That's why I think they may have cancelled it since they're not taking the great oppurtunity that is E3 to advertise the game.

Depends if they can make a profit on those 200k copies sold, but I do agree. I remember reading a report where DLC makes a crap tonne of money in the industry. I have a hard time believeing it wouldn't be more cost effective for Ubi to move all team members onto DLC rather than a WiiU version. But they seem to want to give it a shot.

It's been a separate team for the Wii U version from the beginning: Ubisoft Bucharest. The whole reason the game got delayed was that the main teams ran into trouble, so they pulled Bucharest staff on there. The main teams can move on to make DLC.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

It's not like Ubisoft makes a lot of good games anyways, but I will miss Rayman and those pretty UbiArt games..




8th gen predictions. (made early 2014)
PS4: 60-65m
WiiU: 30-35m
X1: 30-35m
3DS: 80-85m
PSV: 15-20m

I highly doubt we won`t see another Just Dance, at least.

Iwata kinda announced it already.
Taken from the last investors meeting:
"The logos you can see here [with a slide on the side of the texto] are some of the overseas software publisher titles for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. Also, like “Just Dance,” for which the logo is not shown here as it has not been announced yet, there are other titles which utilize the strength of Nintendo platforms."

Keyword being "yet".

With Wii dying off, to keep the JD franchise alive they need Wii U.



Well damn, not even a Just Dance......



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Well, the problem with 3rd party devs, is that their software is selling bad on all systems. If you look at software sales for the month of April (and I mean in just N. America alone). If you take a look at the individual console software sales, the highest selling game was around 40k for the entire month! Nintendo's first party offerings sell much more than that on the Wii U and that's just one system, but those sales are down too. 

The reality is much darker for 3rd party devs right now. However, with their latest business trends, they aren't making matters any better. By alienating Nintendo systems, they are artificially bottling themselves into a smaller market. When that market disappears, so will they. That's a fact.

Excuse me, but where are you taking these numbers from?

The NPD. 

Jodecideion does a better job of explaining.

I can see it now: "UbiSoft is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gameloft S.A."
