Personally, I have no desire to "boycott" Ubisoft because I have a feeling that this will work itself out; if Ubisoft's strategy for the Wii is correct they will have no problems ...
I expect that when companies like Ubisoft decide not to produce high quality conventional games for the Wii it reduces the competition for those publishers who are producing high quality conventional games for the Wii and thus boosts their sales. Games like High Voltage's The Conduit (or Platnium Games' Mad World) with decent marketing could become multi-million sellers even if they're only average (or above average) games because they're the only game in town; if these games end up being really popular it could force publishers like Ubisoft to see that there is an opportunity here, (unfortunately) Ubisoft would be at a disadvantage in this market because they would lack a decent IP, don't have an experienced (quality) Wii development team, and have hurt their image with the core Wii gamer.

Isn't it ironic that Ubisoft is selling far more THIS generation than the last!.
12 million Xbox360
2.7 million PS3
HD total: 14.7 MILLION+
Wii total: Under 5 million.
In any case WHAT THE HELL ARE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT?!?!?!
I mentioned IMO quite rightly that Developers are currently experimenting with games and ideas on the Wii using cheap/throwaway games. When they start finding games that work you will see bigger budget titles on the same theme. They are just being conservative at present, give them a break. If you want to complain why don't you spend YOUR money on a developer and ask them to make a game for you. He who takes the risks gets to make the choices.
Tease.
Ubisoft is another incompetant developer who thinks the Wii is a rubix cube to develop for.
Though in all honesty, this is just their way of getting around saying that they really don't want to put serious support into the Wii and are banking on HD gaming.

No, its the fact they make more money on PS3/360/PC then anything else. They only support the Wii to make people happy they look like they are attempting to care.


Oh well. Baby's Party will sell more units than the new PoP... Somehow...

That's exactly what I said. What's your point?

I still say this is more representative of the cycle they're trapped in:
This strategy also has a risk they don't really realize at this point though:
Now, many people would say that this scenerio is unlikely but it is very similar to the cycle that Sega has been (and continues to be) caught in.
The whole statement makes me sick... It just disgusts me how little they care about what they make.
EDIT: WOW... They've already deployed the damage control drones? WOW... Just WOW.

You have to remember as time passes and their knowledge of the HD Consoles grow development costs go down. The same can partially be said about Wii titles. Future "shitty" titles will be better looking then previous "shitty" titles and might even have improved gameplay due to increased knowledge.Also development costs will drop a touch for Wii titles.
PC is a different story as the coding has basically been the same for ages and all they have to do is make graphics prettier 99% of the time.
