Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
I don't think any racing title will pas Mario Kart 8's sales this generation except maybe a new Gran Turismo.

why wouldn't they?
Rogue was made across 4 or 5 studios, some of which worked on Unity at the same time. Not comparable to main-games in cost, but it wasn't small-scale like Liberty either.Nirolak said:
AC3 sold over 10M across 2 consoles too - but different market circumstances for sure.
Nope only 3 titles are confirmed AC, The Division and Rainbow Six. More info in May.

actually what i want ubisoft to do is to hire killer writers (that im pretty sure they dont have atm), and switch between ac and watchdogs each year instead of annual ac, and at least have some good story in their games. farcrys getting there but its still not good enough.

I think MS has the exclusive marketing deal with AC now.

Their 2015 lineup so far includes AC Victory, Rainbow Six Siege, The Division.
But my dreams...
I wonder how platform breakdowns would look like without marketing/bundles.

Thanks, now I am wondering where that analyst got the 5 from. His question made it sound like he just wanted to confirm something he heard earlier. We will see what they in May, I guess.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
10M for Rogue and Unity is SUPER impressive.
Considering Unity's broken ass state and Rogue's last-gen only thing.
I would love to see actual split between the generations.

I know for a fact (since a friend of mine has bought AC U and Watch dogs on PC) that both had really terrible issues on launch, though the spotlight of AC U shortcomings came from the fact that even the console versions were broken.
Also I think that there were news that even Tetris (released by Ubisoft some months ago) was also broken. And I remember the crew having connectivity issues on launch, though on this day and age I think having connectivity issues is lame news unless you are Driveclub or TMCC that were broken for weeks.

I also feel that there were way more commercials when they had a Sony partnership. AC4 was very heavily marketed.
Maybe AC Rogue's pc port is counted as a triple A release.

Couple point stand out to me.. Far Cry 4 selling 7 million is well-deserved. One of my favorite games of last year, hands down.
Huge increase in digital sales revenue. Parallel with other publishers, represents a big shift in the industry.
Over half of sales generated from next gen consoles. This is telling because Ubi is a big publisher that continues to have most of its line-up as cross-gen titles. Wonder if the majority of the company's 2015 line-up will still be cross-gen, I assume so because of huge teams working on development.

Toronto has 2 or 3 more unannounced projects from last year + other studios. FC3 Blood Dragon creative director is working on unannounced title in Montreal too, and AC4 Game Director is working on unannounced project. And FC4 creative director is working on smaller personal project too. That number is probably guess based on previous years (ubi makes 4-5 AAA games per year).
That isn't what any of the information here shows. It shows another decline for Ubisoft. This shouldn't be unexpected with the often awful work of Ubi Kiev and Uplay amongst others, and users being wise to it.
Seems to be great growth outside of Ubi. Even Konami saw significant growth for the platform.

Woah, AC seems really down and Far Cry up, no?
EDIT: take that back AC seems only a little down >_>

I think the Crew is fantastic, glad to see it's at least doing fairly well. It's like what Need for Speed: The Run should have been.

They have also confirmed for this year (March 10, 2015) the PC version of AC Rogue.
The Crew would have been great if you didn't have to grind every single living fuck part of the car to upgrade the damn thing. The million challenges was just so lame to do just so I could get my car faster. Should have just locked parts behind the in game currency and let me buy them.
They said in conference call that PC market is growing and that they are satisfied with that.

"Excellent momentum for Assassins Creed IV Black Flag, with some 10 million sell-in units.
This performance bears witness to both the high quality of the game and the franchises
strong dynamic with gamers."

Far Cry® 3 was the highest-rated shooter game in 2012
for Xbox360 (with a Metacritic score of 90%), and delivered a much higher-thanexpected
performance, with already over 4.5 million sell-in and digitally distributed units.
AC did "ok" considering that both games are at least perceived as not so hot (for different reasons). Far Cry did great though, well deserved too.
Correcting myself here, it didn't even go down versus Black Flag for the same time period.

"Released in late 2014"
Thats a pretty dodgy statement.

I played the FH2 demo and wasn't a fan. Bought The Crew and love it. However, I did buy Driveclub. So, I guess I'm not one of those people!

These numbers are insane. Guys put this in perspective, not one RE game has sold 7 million copies. Ubisoft releases practically anything and it sells 7+ million yearly. Ridiculous.

I'm most amazed that The Crew outsold both Horizon 2 and DriveClub.
All those gif threads...
FC4, ACU, and WD are not "practically anything", they are 3 of the most expensive games of 2014.

Not really ACIV was current-gen + last-gen + PC, ACU +ACR are same (but yeah they didn't want to reveal numbers because this way sounds better).
Yep MS paid for a huge chunk of those copies upfront. Rewarding UBI releasing a broken game.

I suppose the crew trailer actually worked.

Ridiculously huge world it seems like. Not a big racing fan though.

I am willing to bet Rogue was very cost effective and required minimal amount of work. All it did was reuse assets from Black Flag.
Which is completely OK.

Just finished on Sunday, best game of last year.
