Here’s a little sales trivia for you. Rabbids Travel in Time 3D, one of the latest games in the franchise, has sold 250,000 units life-to-date.
Ubisoft didn’t say if these sales are specific to the U.S. or worldwide, but we do know that the game was a relative success for the company. I’m sure that’s one of the big reasons why we’re seeing Rabbids Rumble on the 3DS this year.

E3 is supposed to be about celebrating the gaming industry with new titles, exciting news, and announcements. Unbelievably, though, THQ took the time today to disband its entire San Diego team.
There’s no details yet as to why the move was made, but further information will likely leak out over the next few days/weeks.
THQ San Diego’s one and only game was WWE All-Stars. It was released last year on all major platforms.
If you missed any part of Ubisoft’s E3 2012 conference, you can watch the entire presentation above.
VentureBeat has posted a massive interview with Xavier Poix, the main man behind Ubisoft France. The entire discussion was dedicated to Wii U.
Poix shared some very significant information about Ubisoft’s plans for the console. In the Q&A roundup below, you’ll learn about the company’s overall plans for the console, ideas for Miiverse, and more. Poix also revealed that, contrary to what most fans had hoped for, just one GamePad can be used with the system. Finally, there’s a tease that Ubisoft will be something tomorrow at Nintendo’s media briefing.
Read on below for more details.
So I just logged into Ubisoft’s press site, and it seems to show which Wii U games we can expect at launch.
Rabbids Land, ZombiU, and Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2013 will apparently be available on day one. Assassin’s Creed III is listed for October 2012, but I believe that’s temporary… unless the Wii U is actually coming out that month. Rayman Legends appears to be a 2013 title.
Nintendo has prepared an official, corporate statement regarding Nikkei’s report that surfaced a few hours ago, noting that there isn’t any truth to the rumors. The site claimed that a new 3DS model would be introduced and non-game distribution contents for Wii U would be revealed.
However, Nintendo’s statement essentially said “that the Nikkei report is not based off things announced by Nintendo, is full of mistakes and is nothing more than conjecture from the paper’s publisher”, as reported by Andriasang.
We’ll see what happens over the next 24-48 hours.
