Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot shared the company's projection on next gen consoles: they expect them to have sold 30 million units by March 2015.
"Thanks a lot for everything, truly".
For me, these Mario + Rabbids games were the best thing Ubisoft has developed in recent years. I'd hate to see Ubisoft drive the series into the ground like their other properties, so I think 2 games are enough. Maybe 1 more.
Great games, I have wanted Sony to copy these games with their own mascots for years.
I think Nintendo has to hire this guy, I mean the fact that miuamoto himself said to him that he is impressed with this work, speaks volumes. Th possibility on having Mario on Soliani's hand could be incredible and quite possibly a new era for Mario games.
Ubisoft's Yves Guillemot isn't worried about about GTA 6 and states that from their experience, games available during a GTA launch do well.
Brave words.... GTA V has done well since 2013 to date. 11 years, Yves.
Old man, now that it's even trendy, it's time to step down, Ubisoft is looking worse than ever.
You've not had to worry about a GTA game being released for over a decade bro. There are games bigger than what Ubi shites out that avoid releasing around the time of GTA, that's how massive GTA is.
I if I were other devs I wouldn't worry neither, especially since down the line rockstar will abandon offline support and fully focus on online only bs. Hopefully Gta 6 is made with plenty of depth and not just gorgeous graphics, come on rockstar come back and show how open world games should be.
Rockstar putting out a new GTA or Red Dead Redemption is like Kendrick Lamar putting out a new album: it doesn't happen often.
... But when it does, it's an industry-stopping event where you'll enjoy it and go through it time and again to really peel back the layers of the experience, coming away with new perceptions each time.
Ubisoft is known for prolific, cookie cutter slop. Which I would probably compare to Drake post-NWtS.
It appears that Ubisoft is still pursuing NFTs. It has partnered with Double Jump Tokyo to work on an NFT multiplayer RPG project.
Man, I haven't even heard anyone mention NFTs in ages. NFTs are dead. The Guillemot family just keep finding ways to damage their business. They need to go.
big eyeroll moment
gamers: "hey we hate nfts"
Ubisoft: "oh u really really like NFTs u say?"
Reach 30 million units sold is difficult but not impossible, if I look at the pace of sales. I hope they all stop developing for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, so that they can devote all energies to the new hardware of the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
:)
Definitely possible, almost all consoles sales come in the holiday quarter. Depends on what games they have coming out to push those holidays though. Looks like both Halo 5 and Uncharted will be 2015 releases.
haha just maybe ps4 and that's a big maybe but definitely not the xbox one. ms would have too magically sell over 2 million xbones a month to reach 30 million by march 2015. just ridiculous.
Only Ps4 has the slight possibility of reaching those figures by 2015 ending. Would be a super achievement if it manages to ever happen
