Here's a chart released by Assassin's Creed/Watch Dogs/Splinter Cell publisher Ubisoft today. That'd be the publisher that put out a bunch of games for Wii U last year, including the superb launch-day exclusive ZombiU but now doesn't want to do more exclusives until Nintendo sells more systems.
Top executives including games boss Sean Shoptaw have also been promoted…
Behind XDefiant's toxic work culture, crunch, delays, and a group of directors and managers internally referred to as 'The Boys Club'.
Man the industry just keeps on going with all this bs and to think this is ubisoft again remember what happened with that skull bones team same crap.

This game will be tossed out broken unplolished with a bloated budget trying to be cod but will fail sense ubi can get there shit in order. If i was me i would have gotten rid of this boys club asap there is alot looking for work out there.
Every industry has these issues
Some companies I’ve worked for were great and some were toxic as hell (UPS when I was a teenager was extremely toxic and I have heard it still is) It all starts at the top. They either hold people accountable , set standards and treat people with respect or the crap rolls downhill.
Skull and Bones surprises with second-highest player engagement in Ubisoft's history, marking an unexpected success story.
Funny how all the clickhate was trying to spin that it was "struggling" to reach these very numbers.
“Ubisoft announced that ‘Skull and Bones’ boasts over four hours of average daily playtime.”
So the few people playing it are spending a lot of time playing it. But there aren’t enough whales to feed this fleet. This game will die like so many other live service money grabs that came before it.
I've read that same thing. Ifbtruebits not really impressive. Also maybe I missed it but I didn't catch any numbers in the article. Lastly what I did read felt more like an advertisement as if the site mightve caught a couple dollars from the publisher.
People are saying it's around 850k across all platforms and free trials. To put it into perspective Helldivers 2 has around 360k 24hr peak on Steam and another 300k at least on PS5, and no free trials.
Most likely. I tried the demo on PS5 and it looks so blurry I was shocked, crappy graphics. I thought for a minute I was playing the wrong version (PS4) but then again most games on PS4 look a 1000x better than this not to mention it's a grinding galore. F that.

Yea man, PS is doom now with these layoffs, watch the PS brand starts doing those same lame xbawx numbers from now on.;)
WiiU is dead
Meh they haven't made a title for the console in half a year and the ones they have put out are on other consoles with the exception of zombiu. It's crap, but i'm not surprised in the least since the wii u has the least console units sold of all major consoles.
WiiU will be fine, August starts a long run of new games for the system.
Will it sell like the PS4, no, but will it die, absolutely not. Too many good games coming for it.
If, by some strange reason I'm wrong, then gamers have made a huge mistake by letting 'shiny' stand in the way of 'fun'
All these people declaring a console less than a year old "dead."? I think the wii u needs to find its place, but its not dead and the list of exclusive games coming looks promising.
It is overpriced? No, its selling at a loss.
It is underpowered? Nintendo, and platinum showed at e3 they know how to squeeze high resolutions and framerates with great visuals. Indies are very open to it, with tons of indies announced recently making their way to wii u. It is obvious that the console is capable for what it is striving to do.
No 3rd party support and the same games? Compared to ps4/one, true. But with W101, bayonetta 2, 3 exclusive sonic games with sega, fire emblem x shin megami tensei, the zelda formula finally changing, miyamoto's new IP, and nintendo hiring more devs its clear nintendo is looking to push fresh nintendo games out faster as well as strengthen 3rd party relations.
A lot of gamers i know are just waiting for a reason to buy a wii u. And by the end of next year, the wii u's library will be an admirable bunch of games.
I think in the long run the Wii U will do ok, but probably won't top the PS4 or Xbox 1 in sales. I don't get Nintendo though. If you want to change your current predicament, you have to get up off your arse and do something. When PS3 was struggling, Sony sorted it out. When the 360's RROD starting cropping up everywhere, MS sorted it out. Do Nintendo think just by twiddling they're thumbs, that the problem is just going to disappear? More games, Nintendo. That's your biggest hurdle right now.
