In Ubisoft’s first-half 2009-20 results release, the company commented on the sales of their Wii products. While Ubisoft launched a number of different products such as Rabbids Go Home, Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage, they have yet to achieve substantial success on the platform. Here’s what Yves Guillemot, Chief Executive Officer, had to say…

“First week sales of Assassin’s Creed II, up 32%, with positive initial indications for the second week, combined with an overwhelmingly warm reception from gamers, validates our strategy of developing bigger franchises. Based on this initial data, Assassin’s Creed 2 looks well positioned to outstrip targets while our Wii games have got off to a more contrasted start in a less predictable market. Finally, sales of James Cameron’s Avatar : The Game should benefit from the launch of the movie which is expected to be the biggest blockbuster of this holiday season.”
