Ubisoft records losses, cans unspecified titles

Post by Drakonis »

Please not Beyond Good and Evil 2...
Ubisoft has been seeing increased sales just recently but these have not stopped the company from posting losses of $ 122 million (R 851.5 million). Looking at this another way, the company has lost a little more than the amount EA has spent developing The Old Republic. Ubi’s sales are up across the board however, partly due to digital sales

how's that 'consoles first' working out for you, ubisoft?... going great, i bet... :D

maybe they could rush out another instalment of assasin-of-the-collect-a-thon, yet-another-clancy or even prince-of-the-pointless-jumps and turn this around, lickity-split... :/

tjops... i'm struggling to recall when last they released anything worth mentioning...

as an aside, weren't they also playing the "micro transaction", (aka charging for content removed from the final product), game lately?

I dont remember the last Ubisoft title I touch. They are on bad terms with the entire always online thing.

Again, are developers spending too much money on titles that cant yield more than 1 million sales at best?

Not all Tom Clancy games are bad, Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six are some of my favorite series of all time.

Please can someone from the Ubisoft school of business explain to me how it's possible for sales to go up and profits to go down?
