GGG writes about how the recent news that Wii U software makes up only 3% of Ubisoft's sales and how 3DS games make up 0% point towards a future without much Ubisoft support outside of titles like Just Dance.
Insider Gaming - "Ubisoft has cancelled yet another game, this time ending development on the Animal Crossing-inspired title Alterra."
HALIFAX (April 14, 2026) – Laid-off Ubisoft workers in Halifax have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a settlement with the video-game giant. The terms of the settlement, including the compensation employees will receive, is confidential.
I can't sit here and act like I know these workers financial situations. And I'm sure nobody wakes up WANTING to go to court. But for the sake of the industry, I wish some of these types of cases made it to trial.
Settlements allow companies to continue to do whatever abusive practices they do. While the trials (should the company lose) would actually force real changes for the better.
But again, I'm not in these workers shoes and I can understand them not wanting to risk it.
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
why do they show that stupid image? Ubisoft has confirmed Watch Dogs is still releasing for the Wii U. Sales however will be terrible since they decided to release late. Ubisoft will no doubt scale back their plans for the Wii U and they will blame it on the lack of sales of Watch Dogs.
Why Ubisoft skips the 3DS is a real head scratcher. Userbase is massive for that handheld, much higher than the Vita.
They should just try to make good portable games. Rayman Legends on the Vita is their best portable game and it's just a port of the console version.
The 3DS has a good install base and they would be stupid to ignore it.
They just need to make more "portable" experiences instead of larger scale games.
Well, to be fair, even Ubisoft's best efforts at AAA multiplats for the Wii U, by and large, have been treated as the lesser versions.
If Ubisoft really wants to get Wii U gamers on their side, they'll release an open-world RPG with great anime-style art as an exclusive for the Wii U, then turn it into a trilogy that gets progressively better.
I'd plunk down money for that kind of thing in a heart-beat, especially if they put out exciting advertisement for it.
On a more cheerful note, though; I'm greatly enjoying Child of Light.
It's shocking that Wii U sales are about 3% considering Wii U sales are about 3% of what PS3/4 and Xbox One/360 are worldwide! What more do they expect??? Until Wii U sales go up (provided they do with big games like MK8 and SSB) the sales on 3rd party games aren't going to go up much. How can they possibly????
With all the 1/2 ass ports on wii U. What do AAA expect?
Sit and cry about the wii U but do nothing to makes us want there games.
Ubisoft has done a good job. And it will pay off for them by the end of the year.
