Ubisoft: ZombiU Not Profitable on Nintendo Wii U, Not Even Close

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot commented on the Wii U's initial performance and one of the reasons why Rayman Legends has ended up multiplatform.

The publisher, one of the biggest third party support on Nintendo Wii U so far, released ZombiU as an exclusive launch title last November. However, despite performing well with critics and new Wii U adopters, Guillemot revealed that ZombiU "was not profitable. Not even close", speaking to GamesIndustry.

There are currently no plans for a sequel.

It was because of the performance of ZombiU that Ubisoft decided to make Rayman Legends into a multiplatform game.

The publisher wants to "ensure the creativity of those games could have a big enough audience" and will be re-evaluating the situation post-Christmas.
