I just want to clarify why I'm feeling so dumbfounded. I just don't understand why I'm seeing this mentality on the internet that Ubisoft somehow owes it to the Wii to make quality games. When Red Steel sells a million, and the Rayman Raving Rabbids series sells 2.5 million and when the Petz series sells 500,000, what incentive does Ubisoft have to improve their quality on the Wii?

The president of the company had previously PROMISED QUALITY games on the Wii. Did you not notice that?

Any why should the 360 and PS3 get all the quality games from Ubisoft? Do they magically deserve them better?

That commet is nothing but ignorance and bullshit.


Because that's what they feel like doing? And its their company lol stupid question...

This guy is a troll for Ubisoft, so I take back all the arguments I made, since he clearly just was trying to do piss poor damage control. Instead, he just made us hate Ubisoft even more.

Some damage control.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

You use alot of opinion and try to spin it as fact when it comes to what games are good or not... Let sales numbers do that.

ANd no wii ubisoft game sells as much as the ps3/360 ubisoft games.

 


 Wrong, for PS3 Ubisoft only had 1 million seller game which was Assasin's Creed at a time that there were no other games to buy. They had 3 for wii. Stop Whining.


 And that million seller sold more than the million sellers on the wii. The game was also of better quality. So there is an example that a better quality game sells more. What about the 360?


if ubisoft put those kind of quality games on wii they would also sell great

 How was it better quality? Compared to wii maybe, compared to 360 it sucked in quality. And the only reason it sold is because there were no other games to buy. Wii has several more games to buy, therefore less sales per game is somewhat expected.

 No they don't magically deserve them. However, Ubisoft as a corporation deserves, by law, to release whatever games they want on whatever systems they want. They don't owe any system anything. They owe it to themselves to make profit in whatever legal fashion they see fit. And guess what: Ubi's games on the PS3 and 360 sell like gangbusters. Someone's spewing out ignorance and bullshit, but it's not me. And no one has actually answered "what incentive does Ubisoft have to improve their quality on the Wii?"

Guillemot's comments about quality turned out to be pretty bullshit, I'll give you that. But PROMISES mean nothing in business unless they're contractual. A corporate figure head is always gonna speak positively about his company. Learn to take what they say with a grain of salt. 



My Top 5:

Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger

My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 and Wii

Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.

Clearly im missing the amazing sales and quality of Ubisoft on the PS3. Someone show me the light... Man that beowulf, that was A SWEET GAME! Almost as good as BLAZING ANGELS!

again... stop whining

 Edit: even better, on the 360 theres 5 million seller Ubisoft games, 3 were released before wii and ps3 hit shelves. that means only 2 games since all three systems have been competing sold more then 1 million. So lets see... Wii - 3, PS3 - 1, 360 - 2 (since all three system launches)

That may be true, but the fact of the matter is that whatever Ubi has been doing, has been working for their bottom line. Why all of the sudden change their business model?

You also have to remember, Ubisoft like all companies only has limited resources. They can't necessarily devote a high level of resources for the PS360 AND the Wii, especially when HD games require such an unprecedented amount of resources.
