PS3 generates largest sales for UbiSoft

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%.

[solidjun5]

no Splinter Cell: conviction going multi-platform?

oh well.

[Maddens Raiders]

is terrific imho. I know a lot of people try to shyt on it, but i really like it. It's worth more than a rental in my estimation. (haven't gotten into mp)

[Lifendz]

and more and more of them are, they only buy their games on PS3. They let their live account expire, they play 360 now and again but are overly cautious because it's probably RROD'd on them. So yeah, this is a trend and I think the gap will only widen in time. This is why most devs lead on PS3 now.

[Why dis]

This has happend before when one console has more exclusive AAA over the other.

[Bathyj]

Lifendz its like you've been spying on me.

I feel like my XB could RRoD anyday now cos it did last week but it was only a near death experince and came back. But why should I buy games on a machine I might not have in a month? And love the avatar.

Madden, I enjoyed Farcry 2 as well, I dont mind the slower pace and I like approaching games/levels/outposts from whatever angle and whatever strategy I like. I like to sneak and confuse.

It is very repetative though and nothing really in the way of level design, its is just a big empty sandbox, so I can see why people who just want to run and gun would get bored.

[Blademask]

lol. but I guess they never need to use facts anyway.

[Nathaniel_Drake]

@Lifendz

Could this also be why Microsoft is looking at the casual market more, or could it be the other way around, where most of the sales of Microsoft came from casual buyers, the arcade model, so it affected sales making the PS3 the more profitable version?

[OGharryjoysticks]

Lifendz, your play by play calling sounds close to money. If you could get a show of hands on people just waiting until the Live subscription ends to make a move I think you could have a winner. But people that are doing that are also into getting every last drop of value from the money they spend that they might not be able to switch and I say that because I'm pretty sure plenty of players like that depend on trade-ins to help out, but with cheap 360 prices, a 360 trade-in isn't going to help them out much at all. They might be stuck.

[Venomish]

@Bathyj
one of my friends got a near death experience to his xbox, it showed rrod for a couple of seconds but then worked after that normally, after a couple of weeks it got permanent rrod. I advice you to back up your data

[locos85]

Hey it's like you are telling my story. I had an Xbox first, then when it RROD on me I bought a PS3. Now I barely touhch my Xbox because I'm scared of the stupid RROD again. I also didn't reactivate my XBL, I feel PSN is just as good for me.

[navyguy21]

for fiscal year 2008, HAZE was released for PS3 ONLY in fiscal year 2008!!!

[skimming]

for Sony fanboy circlejerk.

Can you guys say "cherry picking data"?

[Bathyj]

Venomish
Oh great, now I'm even more nervous. Not much point backing up anything. If it goes again I dont think I'll be getting a 4th machine.

skimming
Yes, this is just selective data to make Sony feel good, cos you know how big a PS3 fanboy Ubisoft is.........Wait a minute..

[SL1M DADDY]

If you have nothing good to say about the news posted then may I suggest you not post at all? Only an idiot fanboy would go into some thread they have no interest in and post up negativity...

[Karum]

Saying the 360 is trailing at 20% makes it sound worse than what it is...it's 1% not really anything to crow about although it is very nice to see developers doing well off the PS3 with that supposedly horrible install base it has.

[Simon_Brezhnev]

and if ps3 install base was like 360 they would make a hell of a lot more money

[Araceae]

You are correct that 1% isn’t that big of a deal. However, when you consider each console’s install base and the fact that last year the 360 had a larger percentage it is an interesting change and something worth noting.

[firelogic]

When you consider that they're dealing in millions of dollars. 1% makes a big difference.

[Zeevious]

...but ALL Playstation licensing revenue goes to Sony, so shouldn't the total include the PSP and any PS2 sales? (and combine DS/Wii sales for Nintendo)

This total profit value would change the figures by much more than 1%

[The Lazy One]

Naruto wasn't released till the end of Q3. Haze has been out since the summer.

[Zeevious]

Seriously...What is wrong with "game journalists"

"Trailing at 20%" uhh... did you check those numbers?
The Wii is the one trailing at 15% & the Xbox 360 & PS3 are practically tied.

What I would like to know is where is the other 44% of their profits coming from?
Let me turn into a game "journalist" for a minute & tell you...in upcoming headlines from my Game Site/Blog/Myspace page just opened yesterday :

"What is Jade Raymond Doing To Generate The Rest Of Ubisoft's Profits?"

"Cartoon's True - Ubisoft Pimps Jade For 44%"

Now I'm sure with the state of "journalism" today, we're just one headline away from street corner references & a breakdown of profits for the shareholders.

To all game "journalists" please find some integrity worthy of the title.

[gauntletpython]

The 360 is behind so it's trailing, no matter what way you want to look at it. Though it's only 1%, that's still thousands of units and that's still a huge achievement considering the PS3 to 360 ratio in the US and Europe is nearly 1:2. Although what the article also doesn't mention the reason why is probably because UbiSoft published the PS3 exclusive Haze.

And the other 44% is the DS(which is probably the largest %), PSP, and PC.

[Zeevious]

For making my point.

The quote exactly is:
"Of the three home consoles, that is the largest percent, with Microsoft's XBox 360 trailing at 20% and the Wii at 15%."

My point is about Game "Journalist" who sensationalize everything, even the smallest detail, such as a 1% difference in sales.

Why isn't it "For Ubisoft PS3 & 360 Lead over Trailing Wii"

The Wii is trailing...

Why did the author spell out "Microsoft XBox 360 trailing" ???
Because it's sensational, inaccurate, and would spark endless debates AND HITS over the "point". That's the only reason...since it's not accurate no matter how you look at it.

In fact the Wii...the Wii...the Wii is trailing at 15%.
Please explain how you can be "trailing" IN THE MIDDLE.

This is a different issue than the PS3 profits being in the lead at 21%...Technically this % may be higher since any PSP or PS2 profits could also be considered under the "Playstation brand" since the licensing from these all go to one place...Sony

Your reaction is just what was intended by the headline...but I am not someone with a bias or promoting either console. I think the competition is great for all gamers, and don't feel the need to rush to anyone's rescue or defend anyone's honor.

These are products...not people.

I'm curious though, because you posted without even the time to do any research...you already knew about their sales margins on specific software, and the profit distribution of that additional 44%.

In the interests of shining a spotlight on this kind of continual nonsense...you have a great deal of information about Ubisoft, so maybe you can explain to everyone here if your an investor, Ubisoft employee, related to the website or article, or what your connection is.

[Blademask]

EUREKA!!!! you've "discovered" gaming "journalism"!!!! Its the way it goes. Didya miss the 9235 "Sony is DOOMED articles"?

Gaming coverage is a joke, buncha uneducated clowns w/blogs and even the educated guys are morons apparently. There is no Gaming Journalism standard, thats the big problem. No model to run your own blog/site by. Its all fanboys with biased agendas.

You're like the guy that says "Oh wait, Bruce Willis is DEAD!" after the credits roll of 6th sense.

just giving ya a hard time, but.. its just the way it is :\

[gauntletpython]

First of all, about your whole 'sensationalist journalism' rant - the whole point of journalists is to make out trends and details and present them to a public that might otherwise not recognize them. This article did that. A sensationalist article takes things completely out of context and spins them to mean something outside the original intent.

The article said the PS3 is the leading home console because it IS the leading console. It's 1% ahead of the 360 and 6% ahead of the Wii. Just because the 360 is in the middle, doesn't mean its not trailing. The 360 is trailing the PS3. The Wii is trailing the PS3 and 360. Both are trailing the PS3.

You're point on the PlayStation brand - the PS3 is at 21%, the PSP is 1%, and the PSP is 2%. You can find the numbers at UbiSoft's website.

I'm not defending any console, I'm stating the facts. The statement "Of the three home consoles, that is the largest percent" is 100% true, regardless of whether it's ahead 1% or 100%. You're trying to paint this as a huge sensationalist spin when it isn't.

As for your allegation that I'm somehow an insider to this whole thing, the entire financial report this is based on available on UbiSoft's website. DS is 31%, PC is 8%, PSP is 2%, PS2 is 1%. Do some research yourself next time.

[Zeevious]

...and was not commenting on the amounts, but the intent.

That much is clear...
but for you I somehow struck a nerve when I brought up journalism.

I'm referring, quite clearly to the ENTIRE state of gaming journalism.

I'm spinning nothing. I always deal in facts and I'm as impartial as ever.

But you're defending what...the right to say someone 1% off in the middle is in fact trailing? Any way you spin it...you're wrong.

This may be a milder form of these types of articles, but I, and I suspect many gamers have had ENOUGH of it. When does it stop! When can we just have facts, not attempts to make a 1% difference more than a 1% difference.

Also you did not answer the actual questions, just attempted to deflect the comments with 'the reports are on Ubisoft's site...'
So sorry, I'm a bit too clever for that tired, trite, poorly played tactic to work.

Still no answer to you answering within A MINUTE of my post with an assortment of Ubisoft financial details.

So in one minute, you downloaded and read the entire 170 page Ubisoft Annual Report? http://www.ubisoftgroup.com...

Oh by the way...THE ARTICLE DOESN'T EVEN LINK TO THESE or Ubisoft itself.

Did you write the article -- I mean paragraph, or are related to the site or Ubisoft? Well . . .
If you did or are, and that's where your unfounded defense of the current state of gaming "journalist" and this sensationalized paragraph of biased news come's from...we have the right to know.

A journalist would have the integrity to tell us the truth.
A journalist would never turn a middling 1% difference into trailing.
A journalist would report truthfully without bias, not mislead.

This was not a paragraph written by a journalist...It's just another sensationalized (mildly or not) site-hit piece, submitted for that purpose alone.

Oh...Just in case you missed it, did I mention you're wrong?
With a low of 15%, 20% is trailing 21% only to a sensationalist.
Try dealing in facts more . . . spin less . . . and if my comment was a rant -- Thank you for yours.
.

TO ALL the gaming "journalist" who disagreed with me here should take a long, hard look and see if their self-respect and integrity is to we the gamers, or to your site-hits and advertising revenue.
.

[rroded]

but ya its pretty close percent wise but considering the 360 is suppose to have a huge lead on the poor doomed ps3...

[Zeevious]

...Not the way it should be.

With lots of therapy & the wonders of neurochemical rebalancing (A.K.A. whiskey) I'd JUST gotten over the 9235 "Sony is DOOMED articles"

Basthtard! You had to bring it up, as if my weeping wasn't enough for you!

But I understand...from your own pain and struggles : "Gaming coverage is a joke, buncha uneducated clowns w/blogs and even the educated guys are morons apparently. There is no Gaming Journalism standard, that's the big problem. No model to run your own blog/site by. Its all fanboys with biased agendas."

I see we're really on exactly the same page...since that's pretty much what I said myself.

At least we can huddle in the corner together with a box of tissues...trying not to let our tears short out the game controllers.

Weep...weep weep
.
Weep.

.

Oh yeah... The Sixth Sense? Huh?
Wait...Bruce Willis Dead?

I went for popcorn about 98 minutes into the 107 minute movie all 11 times I saw it...Don't understand what your saying at all.

Great credits though...Well, back to my weeping . . .

[DJ]

"Games sell better on Xbox 360 because they Play better on Xbox 360."

No wonder the developers at their conference were giggling.

[mynd]

Uhh, they do, this guy is counting haze. Last 3 months they sold more on the 360 than Ps3. But don't let that get in the way of some sensationalism

[karlostomy]

DJ. please read. carefully.

Games publishers are in fact making more money on the 360 by a massive margin. The problem is that every once in a while the ps3 software sales 'spike'. But this doesn't translate into a real trend, unfortunately. It is somewhat of a delusion and wishful thinking on your behalf.

Am I making baseless claims? No, I am not.

Witness the EA revenues.
Granted, there was a quarter where the ps3 produced more revenue for EA than the 360 and sure enough this event was heralded by the media in numerous news stories.

However,
What DIDN'T get reported was that the following quarter, the 360 made more revenue for EA than the ps3 and ps2 COMBINED! WTF?
http://files.shareholder.co...

The problem is, each and every time the ps3 software DOES sell well, it is MAJOR NEWS purely because it is so unexpected. But just because it comes to our attention, doesn't imply it is the natural state of ongoing affairs.

Perhaps we need to ask why MS is able to issue statements like:
"the 360 generated more life-to-date dollars at retail for third-party publishers than the PS3 and Wii combined"
http://kotaku.com/5132626/m...

Sorry. I know you didn't want to hear all that.

Let's just all play games instead, huh?

[hadouken007]

[JohnnyChimpo]

Well executed, very funny, +Bubbles!

[DJ]

The number of working 360 units must be really close to the number of PS3s sold, otherwise we wouldn't be seeing big publishers like Ubisoft and Take Two reporting PS3 as their top source of income.

[lokiroo420]

You may just have something there, good point. 33% failure rate x 28 million units = ps3 install base.

[Bathyj]

I've said for a year, the userbase is closer than people think.

M$ hides behind their SHIPPED numbers, flood the stores every Christmas and wont give any real numbers on RRoD. Plus their faithful believe that RRoDs aren't included in those shipped numbers so if they claim about 30 million and RRoD isn't included then M$ must have magically manufactured and pushed out the door about 40 million consoles.

They havent even had time to do that, let alone sell them, so surely logic suggest 28 million SHIPPED means about 25 or 26 million sold, minus RRoD, which could be anything from 6M to 9M consoles.

Would it surprise anyone if there were only 20M working consoles going to day? And thats a conservative guess. That would explain these numbers better.

[lokiroo420]

Hah no box boys wanna argue against these two guys, I can see why!

[Bathyj]

Because we're awesome?

[Cajun Chicken]

Typical 360 fanboy 'PS3 owners don't buy games and use it as a Blu-Ray player' comeback

[Nathaniel_Drake]

The reason for this is they think America is the world, and that Europe and other regions count 0.0000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000 00001% of sales

[Voiceofreason]

Not not really. The EA article you speak of fails to mention that MS and Sony report earnings at different points in the year. This report proves nothing as it provides nothing to back up its claims.. Also its a Sony site, they are going to spin it just as much as a 360 site would.
I dont understand how some people can be so thick. NPD and other data is released every month on this site. We all know the PS3 is getting beaten in software sales. They couldnt even get more than 1 game in the top 10 over the holidays.. Hey I could be wrong but I will wait for cold hard facts before going against what software sales show. The only thing on PS3 to sale enough to warrant any major media coverage was Dark Knight on Blu Ray.

[Cajun Chicken]

Yeah, forgot about that, I wonder where Prey 2 is going to land? Multiplat. Can't wait to play Serious Sam 3, hopefully on the PS3, online Co-Op'll be a blast due to the large amounts on PS3 servers.

@Voiceofreason
It is a fact there are less PS3 owners than 360 owners out there, especially since last years price cut and it has been reported that EA bring in more from the PS3 before.
So the fact the numbers are so near with a more expensive console, that has been out internationally 1 year less with less users, with less publisher exclusives is, lets say...embarassing?

[karlostomy]

@ Cajun.

Let me correct you:

In the latest data from EA the 360 software outsold the ps3 software 2:1.
In fact, the 360 software outsold the ps3 AND ps2 COMBINED!.

http://files.shareholder.co...

Your FUD debunked.

[solidt12]

This is telling me that alot of the Microsoft 360 27+ Million consoles sold are some peoples second console and Sony PS3 19+ Million Sales are real 1st purchase Consoles. If this trend continues then it will be obvious, which could mean that there may actually be more PS3 game buyers than 360 game buyers at some point if not now..

[DJ]

A lot of people are simply ignoring their 360 consoles. Though I can imagine those who own both platforms may simply be buying their titles for PS3 since PS3 discs are damage-proof.

[Fan Tastic]

Since the PS3 launched the 360 has been on the way down.

Pretty pathetic to be behind considering the numbers MS spews on units sold. Truly a testament to how many of those are replacements for defective Xbox360's.

Plus even more pathetic having launched a full year ahead without any competition from the PS3 or Wii. And the console is half the price (still not even worth it at half the price. 360 = horrible value, all headaches from MS customer service).

[Ashton]

PS3 IZ deadzzzz

XDDDDDD

[mynd]

Uhh, this guy is still taking into account exclusives.
The actual figures were 24% for the 360 and the PS3 22%.
He's selectively using the "9 month" figure which includes the exclusive Haze. As oppose dot the last 3 months, where it was all multiplatform.

Wonder if he will point to Ubisoft this time next year when Splinter Cell artificially boosts the 360's figures?

[TheColbertinator]

I think your forgetting that Ubisoft gave the 360 Naruto:broken bond as an exclusive.The reason for why games from EA,Ubisoft,and Namco sell on PS3 is actually easy to figure out if you notice carefully whats going on.

[mynd]

There is no reason because it is not true, all the latest fiscals have Xbox360 as the lead source of income for the past 1/4's. Ubisoft, and EA. Go look them up.

[villevalorox]

just about every game i have bought for my ps3 was ubi.

[Voiceofreason]

Fake.. Has to be.. Notice they give no proof. Not that we need any. World wide sales of PS3 games prove this to be wrong. I tried finding the info but the only article I could find that gave any numbers to any console was 44% of their holiday sales being on Nintendo platforms. Also they just released quarterly info.. Maybe they did make more this quarter on PS3 but not for the whole year. Why is it any time an article comes out with good news for PS3 it is filled with lies? Is there really not an honest good thing to say about it?

[gauntletpython]

The info is posted on UbiSoft's press site... you can find it here: http://www.ubisoftgroup.com...

Clearly says that 2009 FYTD the PS3 has 21% of the sales.

[Xi]

or playstation consoles(ie ps2 and ps3)?

[OGharryjoysticks]

As a number I count towards the install base for the 360. But when I went to Gamestop and traded my system, games, and accessories for store credit I stopped buying 360 related products. I only have the PS3 now. Also bluray is not pirated like 360 games so that might add to the explantion.

[Obama]

You were once a 360??! Did you rrod? XD

Kidding aside, the myth that ps3 fans don't buy games is debunked once again.

[Voiceofreason]

@Obama, So a random post on a PS3 fanboy site that has no proof to back it up disproves what you and I see every month when software sales are released? Delusional much?

okay so if its positive PS3 news we believe it without proof and if its negative PS3 news we dont believe it even with facts?
Really sad when people have to cling to lies just to have something good to say about their console..

[Sez]

was haze sale included in that percentage. it was exclusive to the ps3 and published by UBI. it would still help in that 1% diffrence. but oh yeah that wasn't mentioned right.

[gauntletpython]

So what about UbiSoft's 360 exclusive, Naruto: Broken Bond? That sold close to half a million... oh but wait, that doesn't count either?

[Mr_Zkaar]

Do you know why PS3 generates more revenue?

Because 28.5 million units for Xbox includes all the broken ones and also because there is allot of piracy on the Xbox where there is none on the PS3.

This will only increase interest in the PS3 from publishers. You can already see this from EA with their home section and also from UbiSoft with the FacCry section also for home.

[Thoreau]

it is easy to pirate games on your 360. it will hurt companies more if console makers sell plenty of consoles, and the company's game is pirated off the web. the only reason i have not had my 360 modded is because i actually bought the 59.99 warranty, so if it RROD a third time, i will send it in again for a free repair. the playstation 3 is hard to pirate, thus making you actually buy the game.

[WeaseL]

Its all down to piracy

[Figboy]

FACT: The gaming industry is a WORLDWIDE INDUSTRY.

they do not rely on simply ONE REGION to produce revenue.

FACT: The Playstation 3 has a rather steady install base in all three major regions.

FACT: The Xbox 360 is doing very well in the US, fairly well in the UK, and not so hot in Japan (although fairing better than the original Xbox).

if people in Japan and the UK are buying Ubisoft, Take Two, EA, and Activision games on the PS3 instead of the 360, then it makes perfect sense that they'd generate more money from the PS3 instead of the 360. the US CAN'T do it all, you know.

this probably WILL become more common as the Playstation 3 install base increases WORLDWIDE.

Japan will always be the weak link in the 360's worldwide market sales. the other two regions, US and UK, will have to work double time to pick up the slack, and the sales in the UK for the console aren't nearly as strong as in the US.

the PS3 needs a price cut, as software is strong, and getting better, but people are still weary of that $400 price tag. at $299, the console will MOVE. why people doubt that Sony will drop the price is baffling to me. ALL consoles drop in price eventually, some sooner than others, but it's inevitable that a price cut WILL come.

KZ2 will move units, yes, even at $400, so i doubt we'll see a price cut this fiscal year from Sony, but after April, and leading into the summer months, i wouldn't be surprised for a price cut. when is GDC? March? seems like a good time to announce a price cut to me.

[Voiceofreason]

We have these things called world wide sales figures that show PS3 to be doing just as poorly everywhere else when it comes to game sales. This is a fabricated lie that the site is posting. What they reported today is only 3rd quarter sales. Not yearly sales, and yet they (as far as I can find from any other website that also is posting it) they say nothing of making the most money on PS3. The ONLY figure they list so far is how the made 44% of their holiday sales on the Wii and DS and had two hits with Shaun White snowboarding and Rayman Raving Rabbits for Wii. I have openly looked for this info all over the web... It may be out there but I am finding it less and less likely. OF course knowing the fanboys on this site it will be proven wrong and they will still quote it as fact for the next year..Just look back through and see how many bring up the EA article that was proven wrong within hours of it showing up online. Sadly PS3 fans have to ignore the truth in order to have something note worthy to say about the PS3 it seems. When every good PS3 article is fabricated lies, it doesnt exactly send a very good message to those of us that are not fanboys.

[sajj316]

And yet .... And this is a big mind bender, Ubi would like to make Splinter Cell console exclusive. Take further into account 360 game piracy that problably factors into unrealized/lost revenue, it makes this decision a questionable one. Here's what the bargaining table ends up with as a deal. Take $5 million in lost revenue, and an additional $2 million as up front cash and you got yourself a timed exclusive. Or take the $2 million and pump it into shared marketing.

[newneto]

Other developers are reaching higher revenues on the ps3.

[shovelbum]

Have any multi-platform games sold more copies on the PS3 than the 360?

[DJ]

Sold quite a bit better on PS3, which screwed over the developer. They were expecting the 360 version to sell more, which is why they built 360-exclusive DLC.

[ambientFLIER]

What is the ratio and quantity of ps3 games to xbox games that ubisoft is producing? Because if they are making 10 ps3 games, and 1 xbox game, obviously they will sell more for the sony platform. I'm actually just curious.

[ThePlaystation3guy]

Pretty much ANY game that was on the PS3 in 2008 made by Ubisoft was also on the 360. No joke. Besides Haze, which was a PS3 exclusive..but it sucks so it doesn't count, lol.

[ambientFLIER]

So then what's the explanation, since the software charts say the 360 sells way more games in the weekly charts, has a higher attach rate per console, there are less PS3's in the world and some of them are servers and movie players?

[rickybadman]

The reason list happen is because Ubisoft did not put out any outstanding games. With all the great games that came out last quarter and 360 owners playing Gears and Left for Dead Endwar and Prince of Persia where just not enough to complete on the 360 side. It was obviously by sales that PS3 owners where not spending all there time playing LBP and Resistance, so they picked up PoP. Anyway Hawx, Ghost Recon 3, Assianis Creed 2 and Splinter Cell will all sell more on the 360. Ubisoft knows where their bread is buttered and that is on the 360.

[Iceman100]

that's sad

[cmrbe]

We must factor in the fact that Haze is exclusive to the PS3. However there are more x360 out now.

Ubi is an European Publisher. Sony is really strong in Europe.

[Xbots play games]

STOP THE PRESSES! By WHOPPING 1%???..SHUT DOWN ALL 360 DEVELOPMENT NOW!!!!..HAZE 2 COMING SOON!!..that's because we got so many games to buy on the 360 it works out for a larger group of developers..Attach RATE BABY!!

[Mutley416]

Ubi-Soft sucks :) And I won`t eve read this Article...Ubi-Soft=Lame @ best-

[Lord Xire]

Name the Ubisoft Multi Platforms that sold more on the Ps3 platform over 360 then we can talk......with these baseless claims.

It's not a matter of who sold the most games in these revenue reports...

When you don't sell over a competitor in total copies you cut publishing costs so Publishers will publish games for your systems even at a loss...

For all we know Sony may give free Blu Ray discs to every publisher across the globe cutting costs down substantially making publishers a little extra on the side.

But the truth is we don't know.....

But what we do know is that it is NOT because the Ps3 platform is selling more Ubisoft games then the 360..unless it is an exclusive.

Well im checking Ubisofts site but i don't see this.

Can someone give me the proper link to show the ubisoft report as all im getting from the ones on here are Ps sites not the actual report. HMmm.

But heres something funny...in America at least, according to VGChartz.com (a site some on here hate...well, because numbers are scary for some), Prince of Persia on PS3, their latest big title, is currently being outsold by Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (also Ubisoft) on 360.

So im a bit confused by these 'figures', and VOR said it best a few posts ago at 10.2

POP is selling better on 360. GRAW sells better on 360. Vegas 1 and 2 sell better on 360. Assassin's Creed sold better on 360....pattern?

well they should...there more Xboxs out there...this article is GARBAGE-

It's simple, everyone I know have and xbox to play pirate games so it's obvious that sales of games will be affected due this fact... and of course, everyone who doesn't know third world countries will refuse this... but it's the true at last...

not a surprise seeing the amount of piracy that goes on with the PC and 360 versions of games.
