? 2009-10 targets revised downwards

? Releases of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Conviction™ and R.U.S.E™ postponed to 2010-11

? Initial information on the 2010-11 line-up
Paris, January 13, 2010 – Today, Ubisoft updated its 2009-10 targets.

The sales targets for third-quarter and full-year 2009-10 have been revised downwards to €495 million and around €860 million respectively, from the previously announced figures of €540 million and €1,040 million.

These downward revisions are due to the following factors:

– A further correction in the market for DS titles. After several years of very strong growth, the significant correction of the DS market in 2009 particularly affected Ubisoft. As a result, despite relatively robust sales for Wii casual games, and particularly the success of Just Dance, sales in the casual segment are expected to be down for the full year by around €160 million, representing a drop of around 50%.

“Mr. Iwata did not make any comments regarding the functions of Nintendo’s future hardware systems. The answer to the reporter’s question was misinterpreted.” – Charlie Scibetta, Nintendo of America’s senior director of corporate communications

While it’s possible that Iwata’s words were misinterpreted, that doesn’t seem too likely to me unless the Asahi Shumbun made some sort of huge error. And remember, Nintendo has been known to deny things in the past. I’d like to hear something from Iwata himself that he never made any remarks about the next DS before I fully believe this news, especially since this is just a statement from a spokesperson.
