Game publisher Ubisoft has declared that it experienced 78 percent sales growth during January in the US alone. It is the number one independent publisher on the Wii, and the new figures are driven by the Wii.

Quote:

French publisher Ubisoft, which has been the staunchest third party supporter of Nintendo's Wii from the get go, today issued a brief statement concerning the company's continued growth for the month of January. Driven largely by the Wii's momentum coming off holiday '06, Ubisoft experienced sales growth of 78 percent in the U.S., 55 percent in the United Kingdom, 30 percent in France and 41 percent in Germany.

Additionally, Ubisoft pointed out that it's still the number one independent publisher on the Wii in the U.S. and Europe and the number two independent publisher on Xbox 360 in Europe (it's number three on 360 in the U.S.).

Maybe now they will make a sequel to Beyond Good And Evil, one of the best and sadly overlooked games of last gen.

I think that one of the main reasons UBISoft has done so well as when the Wii was first released here in the UK, quite a lot of the games were UBISoft games and as there wasn't much choice of games people brought what they could.

Ubisoft have yet to release a truely 100% finished game on the Wii, I look foward to their future attempts but they basically shouldn't be congradulated for flooding the market with mediocre games that were truely rushed for launch.
