Nintendo platforms not a big part of Ubisoft’s latest financial results
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 23 Comments
Ubisoft support for Nintendo platforms appears to be in steep decline. In its latest financial report for example, the company makes mention of Wii U only once, and that’s for Child of Light – a game already available. On 3DS, Ubisoft hasn’t had a major release in quite a long time.
In the previous financial year, Wii U accounted for only 3 percent of Ubisoft’s overall sales. 3DS was even worse – in large part due to a lack of games – coming in at 0 percent. Wii was the only platform to make a decent dent having contributed 11 percent.
What kind of Nintendo support can we expect from Ubisoft in the future? Well, Watch Dogs is still coming to Wii U. A new Just Dance will likely be made for both Wii U and Wii as well. Aside from these games though, nothing appears to be on the horizon sadly.

Ubisoft shipments: Assassin’s Creed IV, Just Dance 2014
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
Ubisoft’s latest financial results reveal shipment figures for a pair of titles.
To begin, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag has shipped 11 million units, combined with digital sales. Just Dance 2014 has also been successful with total shipments coming in at over 6 million copies.
Ubisoft said in its financials:
The success of Assassin’s Creed 4 Black Flag (more than 11 million sell-in and digital units). Every year, this flagship franchise for the video game industry offers players a highly innovative gaming experience, and generates a steady and very profitable revenue stream.
? A solid performance by Just Dance 2014, with more than 6 million sell-in units.
Watch Dogs breaks record for pre-orders of a new IP
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 11 Comments
Ubisoft has set a new record with Watch Dogs pre-orders.
The game, set to be released later this month, is now the most pre-ordered new IP in Ubisoft’s history and the second-highest pre-ordered Ubisoft game ever. If that wasn’t enough, Watch Dogs is the most pre-ordered new IP in the entire industry this year as well.
Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft, commented:
“These strong pre-orders are a clear indication of players’ anticipation and excitement for Watch Dogs. The teams have worked tirelessly to ensure that players will enjoy a top quality game with enormous scope, and we can’t wait to get the game into their hands.”
Gamestop pre-order sales data indicate that Watch Dogs “is the highest pre-ordered next-gen title to date and most pre-ordered new IP of the year.”
GameStop senior vice president of merchandising Bob Puzon said:
“There is massive buzz in all of our stores around Watch Dogs. Based on the current level of customer pre-orders we have received, Watch Dogs is the highest pre-ordered next-gen title to date and most pre-ordered new IP of the year.”
