I'm not sure whether to be happy that Ubisoft might be forced to take notice of PC, or sad that people keep buying their terrible PC versions in the first place in order to create this statistic...
Wii-U sales increased 300% !!! :D
Haven't purchased a UBI game for a while, the last few have been buggy as hell....in fact they have been so bad they have made me stop playing them in frustration, which is ironic as I played Batman: AK from beginning to end without any real issues and that has been removed form the steam store!
So are they counting sale profits or number of copies sold since 2 of these games can be purchased for a fraction of the price from other sellers, why pay £55 (although they have it on sale this week at £36) to Uplay for FC4 when it can be purchased for £15 elsewhere, the Crew at £25 (£14 elsewhere) and Watch Dogs can be picked up far around £1.50 (around £2.00 if you want the season pass with it) on some sites.Quote:
sustained demand for back catalogue games such as Far Cry 4, The Crew and Watch Dogs.
They'd do even better if they released on Steam.
No, seriously no. Rocksmith (and the 2014 edition) were released on Steam and if you want to use the prog then you've got to log into Steam and uPlay. :wallbash: I gave up when uPlay (pauses to spit) decided to forget about 2-3 months of gameplay, (Steam was fine though). "Steam as a replacement for uPlay" is fine with me, but "Steam as an add-on for Steam" is not an experience I care to repeat.
As to Ubisoft, the whole "buggier than a tramps underwear" experience has soured me on the PC titles. So if I do go for any of their current titles then it's going to be at no more than launch price - and probably on XB360.
So their sales are purely slightly higher than expected (around 20%) based on their predictions, however overall they are making significantly less than the same time last year.
