Only thing I remember where some flash banners on GameFAQs for a few days. Don't remember any print or TV ads.

But you're still handing them money.

You're not giving them as much money for both developing and publishing, but nonetheless, you are putting some money in their pocket, that they will use to fund projects on the PS3 and 360.  

Tenchu 5 and 6 for X360/PS3 confirmed.

I could be wrong, but I thought the entire point of the Ubisoft Boycott was to not give Ubisoft money for their third rate casual Wii games; it wasn't that people really cared about them having money to spend on PS3 or XBox 360 projects.

Personally, I said I wasn't going to be involved with the Boycott because these things tend to work themself out. If Ubisoft doesn't want to devote the money to producing quality games for the market leading platform, they won't see the rewards of developing quality games for the market leading platform; and if there is an opportunity there, someone else will capatalize on it.

What we have seen from Ubisoft is a certain level of inconsistency which could be explained by a power struggle between two different executives; this isn't uncommon in any industry, and I have seen many companies "screw themself" due to this ...

You might have one executive who has been labeled a visonary and was (in part) responsible for building Ubisoft and has gained a lot of respect within the company; for years she has sold games products on buzzwords and new technologies with little focus on the product itself. At the same time you have a young executive who is working their way up the corporate ladder, and has gained the ear of some of the senior executives because he believes that change needs to happen in order to save the company in the long run.

Sadly enough the older executive has (way) more control over various portions of the company and sees the young executive as a threat, and may do things to hurt the success of the young executive's projects in order to maintain her control.

It had a few print ads but the bulk was banners on IGN--and that was about it.  No television ads at all. 

I'm pretty interested in these titles so far.  Are there actually going to be three?  Are they all going to be Wii exclusives?  That would kick some ass.  Especially since Tecmo just lost their number designer, the Ninja Gaiden series may end up losing some credibility. 

but what if tanchu doesnt deliver,then ubisofts weak game publishing/developing will continue

 hahah exactly what I thought when I read it. well, let's see what happens.

For this Anti Ubisoft Boycott, i think the smartest thing is not to buy anything short of magnificent from Ubisoft. And for those gamers that fell they absolutly must get an Ubisoft game (that isnt completely awesome), then get the game used. Ubisoft needs to know that wii gamers arent going to buy anymore of their trash they call wii games.

I'll still buy it if it's good and I have a Wii by then. Notice my sig is and always has been lacking the "Boycott Ubisoft" logo.

Now, if I had the option, I'd wish another developer picked this up, cause I'm not very big on Ubisoft actually, but it won't stop me from playing a good game.

Tenchu 4 is publisher not developed by Ubisoft so the boycott not have effect.
