Wii U accounted for a tiny portion of Ubisoft’s Q3 sales. How small are we talking about? 2 percent small.
Nintendo Life has the breakdown:
Q3 2013/2014
Wii U delivered 2% of sales — €10.4 million / £8.7 million / $14.2 million out of a total €520 million / £433 million / $710 million
First nine months of 2013/2014
Wii U delivered 4% of sales — €32.5 million / £27.1 million / $44.4 million out of a total €813 million / £677 million / $1110 million
Wii actually performed quite a bit better for Ubisoft, with last-gen’s console accounting for 11 percent of the publisher’s sales. Here’s the full rundown of shares for other platforms:
PlayStation 3 — 28%
Xbox 360 — 27%
PlayStation 4 — 12%
Wii — 11%
PC — 10%
Xbox One — 9%
At the end of the day, these results shouldn’t be too surprising given the installed bases of Wii U and Wii. Ubisoft also continues to produce Just Dance titles for Wii, which still seems to be a success on Nintendo’s last-gen console.

Heads up, European 3DS owners. If you plan on purchasing Inazuma Eleven 3: Team Ogre Attacks on the eShop, you’ll need to reserve over 13,000 blocks of space. Far from the biggest 3DS game, but still a heavy amount.
A quick heads up: Rayman Legends has been reduced to $40 on the eShop. This is a permanent price drop, so it won’t be going up to $60 in the future.
As always, retail remains an option as well. Amazon
also has Rayman Legends available for $40.
Corcell Technology has a bunch of DLC lined up for AeternoBlade. One of these items, as revealed on the game’s Facebook page, is “Arena Mode”.
