Forums - Gaming Discussion - Ubisoft NOT blaming Wii for losses in profit - The Truth

That's why I try not to go to Kotaku anymore haha. Thanks for clearing this up.



Around the Network

the only thing i take from this is

Natal 10 games
Wand 5 games



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

Is anybody else worried that they will be making so many games for natal and ps3 wand? I think that they will both fail. Wii already has the casual market and the hardcore will not buy the motion controls. I'm worried that making all these games will be a waste of money. Any thoughts?



Woops haha quoted myself. 



"10 Natal and 5 PS3 Wand games. They are focusing on the casual market."

Yes, that's why they will fail (games and the peripherals).

Well, I can't say I'm surprised. Kotaku have never been very good.

EDIT: Oh, and thanks for clearing things up, Soriku. :)



I have said it before, and I know I will have to say it again in the future. Kotaku hates the Wii. I don't pretend to know why, but the writing has been on the wall for a while. They pulled the exact same stunt a few months back with Sega being used instead of Ubisoft. Why people continue to take the site seriously is well beyond me.

  They are probably porting most successfull from their wii/ds shovelware titles there.

I fully expect to see some Imagine , dogz etc titles to come in this batch.

@EVERYONE: I didn't follow this whole discussion from the beginning, so correct me if i'm wrong, but am i right when i say this:

Kotaku reported about Ubisoft losing more profits on Wii and gaining profit on big franchises. Some dude on Neogaf claims this is all out of context and that Wii is not to blame for their losses. To prove his point, he shows a "SALES" breakdown by platform for the 6 month period. But since when do sales equal profit? Maybe Ubisoft released like 50 Wii games that accounts for 22% of their sales in this period, while just 2 PS3/X360 games account for a combining 29% of their sales. Not even talking about the PROFITS those sales generate. But of course this is all hypothetical, but in the end the graph the Neogaf guy uses as evidence is all but evidence to me.

Maybe i'm completely missing the point here, like i said, i didn't follow this whole discussion, but to me it seems like some of you guys just "prefer" the Neogaf guy version of the story, instead of the Kotaku version. For the record, though, i'm honestly not trying to bash anyone. So, if i'm wrong than please let me know.



The difference is the neogaf guy actually backs up his assertions. Ubisoft never said Wii titles under-performing was causing all of their grief. Seriously, don't trust Kotaku as a source. Show me another news site carrying the same story (that doesn't source Kotaku) and I will re-think my stance.
