PS3 generates largest sales for UbiSoft Earlier last month, Take-Two, publishers of Bioshock and Grand Theft Auto, announced that the PS3 had been their biggest source of income, with 35% of their revenue coming from the platform. It seems this may becoming trend, as UbiSoft is reporting a similar story. So far for the fiscal year of 2008, 21% of the publisher's sales have come from the PS3. Of the three home consoles, that is the largest percent, with Microsoft's XBox 360 trailing at 20% and the Wii at 15%. This is quite a mix up from the 2007 fiscal year, where the 360 actually had the highest amount of sales out of all platforms at 25%. This may, in part, be to UbiSoft's PS3 exclusive Haze. Though the title was met poorly critically, it performed reasonably commercially. However, UbiSoft also published Naruto: Broken Bond, a 360 exclusive, that has sold nearly 400,000 copies to date. UbiSoft is expecting to meet their financial goals for the fiscal year of 2008, with Tom Clancy's HAWX releasing for the PS3, 360, and PC in the final quarter of the fiscal year. Source |
