Ubisoft Q1 Sales

Unread postby Kalah » 15 Jul 2010, 18:18

In <a href="http://pressextranet.ubisoft.com/EMEA/N ... 0-11">this release</a>, Ubisoft have publicized their Q1 sales. In short, it's good news.



<i>Estimated sales for the first quarter totaled €160 million, up 93% compared with the €83 million recorded for the first quarter 2009-10.</i>



They had guessed slightly lower (€145 million), but were pleasantly surprised with the sales of <i>Splinter Cell Conviction</i> as well as other titles. CEO Yves Guillemot underlined the "varied and distinct" range of their line-up, a statement we will take as a positive re the chances of a possible Heroes VI release. There's no release this year, obviously; Q2 will be dominated by <i>H.A.W.K</i> and <i>R.U.S.E</i> (what is it with these guys and acronyms?), and there's no time to make a brand new game in six months anyway. What I <i>am</i> hoping for is a certain <i>announcement</i> within the year. That the producer is making money and seem happy with their high variety of games is a good thing.



In other news, Ubi have also released this summary of all the <a href="http://www.hugingroup.com/documents_ir/ ... >awards</a> their games received at this year's E3. <i>We</i> haven't reviewed these games, of course, but we can certainly do that with Heroes games, so come on, Ubi, get some out there!

Why are people so craving for Ass'n'Greed II and Ass'n'Greed Brotherhood??

I saw my nephew playing the first one and man did it look boring....press X to disguise as a monk when you're close to them....



Since Nival personell (or who was it) dressed up in Heroes VI shirts once I believe it's under development and that they will announce it once it's almost done (as is standard these days)

AC:B looks like it will run out of its fun juice in about 30 minutes of playtime.



But I digress, getting a QUALITY heroes game is something I wouldn't mind at all.
Infiltrator out.
