Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Ubisoft: Wii U Owners Don’t Buy Assassin’s Creed; More Interested in Just Dance

Yes



Around the Network

Just Dance started on Wii in 2009. Assassin's Creed skipped Wii entirely and premiered on Nintendo home console in 2012, on its fifth major installment.

He's correct though, Wii U owners don't want to buy Assassin's Creed, because Ubisoft has given them no reason to want it.

Um, no.

It's not about just dance or other experiences, it's about games they like. ZombiU sold relatively well though maybe not the numbers Ubi was looking for.

Nintendo gamers buy certain types of games, and that may not necessarily mean Just Dance. A great recent example is Shovel Knight. Don't come and tell me that's like Just Dance Mr. Guillemot.


sure is not. But Wii U owners didn't nuy AC and he is right about


I bought Assasin's Creed III and 260,000 thousand others did as well. So making Ubisoft 13 million dollars on a cheap port.

and 5,62mil PS3 owners and 4,90mil X360 owners did as well. If I was him sure I would stick with PS/Xbox base and not with Nintendo's

Wait that is it? with both systems selling over a 160 million combined they only combined to sell 10 million copies. Ratio sounds around the same to me. 6.9 million sells 260,000 which is 4 percent of WiiU owners. 165,000,000 sells 10,000,000 which is 6 percent which is a difference of 2 percent not that big of a difference.

It's official. Yves is talking out of his rear end.

If "mature" games don't sell on the Wii U, can he explain how ZombiU has sold nearly double the next best-selling game from the company on the console?

It seems fairly obvious to me. ZombiU and Rayman Legends are the biggest selling games the company has put on the console. It's got nothing to do with the games being "mature", it's a question of them being good games that suit Wii U's uniqueness. I'm not remotely surprised the AC games haven't been huge sellers on the console, given that the series skipped Nintendo consoles for years and the Wii U versions had zero marketing to make sure people knew they existed. I imagine Watch Dogs will suffer an even worse fate since it's coming months after the other versions, and without some of the online features.

If Ubisoft's games aren't selling on a Nintendo console, that's Ubi's fault.

Its a shame because I own both AC3 and AC4 on my WiiU and have already sold my 360 , so aside form unity on the PS4 I will have no way to play the "last gen" game :/


rouge will probably get a next gen part sometimes at the beginning of the next year, so just wait for that


I hope thats teh case!

PS4 and Watch Dogs are doing GREAT just like Mario Kart. Im just a BIG NON believer in anything that the douchebag from UbiSORRY has to say.

well, it's up to you. But like you said: Mario Kart are doing amazing. So why not not AC? I don't buy another console, but stick with Wii U [and only Wii U] is waste of time. Nintendo gamers don't buy AC, CoD, etc anymore. Is a fact.
