Ubisoft still hasn't completely given up on the Wii U, and they've even given the company a bit of advice to make it last this generation.
Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot has shared his opinions on what it will take for Wii U to succeed in the long term with CVG.
“With Mario Kart, Wii U made one step and we expect with Smash Bros it will also do more,” he began. “If Nintendo put the right price on the machine then they will probably have a chance to do further.”
Guillemot reminded everyone that Ubisoft hasnt turned its back on Wii U entirely, with the release of Watch Dogs and Just Dance coming later this year, although he touched on the mysterious, withheld Wii U game that won’t launch on Nintendo’s format until sales improve.
“That game is waiting for more machines to be available,” he explained, and added, “We are also waiting for them to achieve more sales so that we can invest more. Because the problem we have with next-gen now here, is that we are seeing less games that are on next-gen and last-gen consoles.
“Nintendo has to perform this year, otherwise they will have less games. Justifying investing in the machine needs a larger install base.”
