Ubisoft Breaks Down Game Sales By Platform - PS3 Rises And Wii Drops

Which video game consoles do the people running a giant publisher like Ubisoft like the most?

Possibly the ones on which they can sell the most games.

Yesterday, as part of a sales announcement , the "Assassin's Creed" and "Rainbow Six" publisher released statistics that show just which consoles help move the most games.

Ubisoft didn't disclose raw sales figures but did reveal the percentage of the company's game sales on each platform.

Lessons learned: Given that the PlayStation 3 accounted for 20% of the company's sales last year, it's clearly a meaningful machine to Ubisoft. But maybe not as much as the Xbox 360 and the DS, which contributed 26% each.

And what did the Wii do for Ubisoft last year?

You don't want to know.
