Ubisoft: Next Gen's Two-Year Sales Will Double That of Predecessors
PS4 and Xbox One are going to smash it.
E3 2012
Everyone might be wondering whether this next generation is coming too soon. But Ubisoft is optimistic, believing that in their first two years on sale, the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will sell twice as many units as their predecessors did in the same amount of time.
The prediction comes as the publisher revealed that it will be revealing "exclusive next-generation games" as well as "new brands and titles" at E3 next month. "We have many incredible games in development, and we're especially excited to share more on our next-gen titles, which will deliver more connected, immersive and interactive experiences to our fans," CEO Yves Guillemot said.
"As the industry transitions to a new console cycle, past market trends and Ubisoft's internal estimates indicate that within two years the next-gen consoles' installed base could double that of the previous generation over a comparable period," the company added in a press release following the new games tease.
And Ubisoft is prepared for the next generation. "Ubisoft's cross-studio collaboration structure allowed the company's creative teams to get an early start on the transition, with next-gen games like Watch Dogs already scheduled for release this year and more next-gen titles to be announced during E3."
We're hoping Mr. Caffeine returns to Ubisoft's E3 stage for some more time-warping fun.
