Ubisoft Q4 Sales Rise 37% on Tom Clancy Games, TMNT & Wii Ti |
French
publisher Ubisoft today reported its full-year and fourth-quarter sales
for the period ended March 31, revealing results that easily
outstripped targets. Total sales during Q4 were up 37.4 percent to 197
million euros ($268 million). For 2006/2007 sales rose 24.4 percent to
680 million euros ($925 million). For Q4 Ubisoft had been targeting a
minimum of 152 million euros, but managed to beat guidance by 45
million euros in part because of the "robust performance" of Tom
Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (1 million units sold on
360) and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which sold more than 1.1 million
units across eight platforms.
The company also attributed its
performance to the continued success of games launched in previous
quarters, including Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas (1.7 million units
sold since the game was launched), Wii games such as Rayman and Red
Steel (more than 830,000 and 950,000 units sold, respectively), and the
Petz series of games, which collectively sold 3.5 million units during
the fiscal year.
