Ubisoft expects Wii U to take off this Christmas, will review its situation in beginning of 2014
Ubisoft continues to say all the right things about Wii U, such as how it likes the system and its potential. That’s what CEO Yves Guillemot expressed to GamesIndustry in a new interview:
“We like the machine itself, with its possibility to have different types of gameplay on the TV screen and on the tablet. It’s something that’s really new for the industry, and we’ll continue to see more of that on the PS4 and Xbox One.”
Later in the interview, Guillemot mentioned that the company expects Wii U to take off sales-wise this Christmas. Once the new year rolls in, Ubisoft will “review what happened” (and will presumably assess its support of the console).
“We will continue to support the Wii U this Christmas, and we’re expecting it to take off in terms of sales. And we’ll review what happened again at the beginning of next year.”
