In news that has shocked nobody, GFK has released information on sales numbers for the recent week of Wii U software. Dominating the list is Mario Kart 8 and New Super Mario Bros. U, with Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric squeezing in an unlikely third from unfortunately unknowing parents and grandparents. The biggest reveal from the charts is that Watch Dogs has placed 14th, failing to even make it into the top 10 on its launch week.
Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."
Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.
*Ubi takes gun, aims at foot, empties clip*
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.
Sad for Nintendo. I know Watch_dogs was released super late, but poor sales don't entice other 3rd party developers to port games to wiiu
It's funny to look at the factores that led to this flop.
It was a 6 month delayed port of a regular game, priced at 60 dollars, on a weaker console compared to ONE and PS4, platforms where the game is much cheaper right now.
Ubisoft shouldn't complain after this disaster.
What did they expect...? Sucks for the Wii U though, it's certainly not going to give a good impression to other developers. Even though this poor launch was no fault of Nintendo's.
That was expected, a lot of people already played Watch Dogs on another platforms, and the game is mediocre at best, few people would buy the game now for $60.
This pretty much sums up why no third party dev is left on the Wii U
