Ubisoft sales hit $1.5B, Ghost Recon 4 in Q1 '10

well, we haven't heard a peep about the next Gohst Recon, so a Q1 release date seems extremely unlikely.

I can't wait for SC, hope to hear more about GR and want a new Rainbow Six.

you left out GR summit strike. That was my favorite one. and GRAW2 rocks also.

Ghost Recon could not return any slower. Why not a new Rainbow Six game as well?

What the heck is going on with Splinter Cell Conviction????? GAMESTOP not Gamespot says its coming out on June 30 but this says Holidays 09'.

@thenephariouson 1. Ghost Recon 2. Ghost Recon Desert Siege 3. Ghost Recon Jungle Storm 4. Ghost Recon 2 5. G.R.A.W. 6. G.R.A.W. 2 6. G.R.A.W. 2 7. Will be G.R.A.W. 3 or Ghost Recon 4 - Should not change bame to Ghost Recon, G.R.A.W. powns, if they go back to modern day crap I won't buy. the first Ghost Recon was a friggin awesome and unique game I will admit. And I still recognize it as really awesome, GRAW pwns too

@the-wiz, See following post as this explanation makes total sense when you think about it. [[dramaybaz Posted Apr 30, 2009 10:54 pm GMT Guys , It was; 1. Ghost Recon 2. Ghost Recon 2 3. Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter , Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 4 will beGhost Recon 4 GRAW & GRAW2 were kind of like Cod4: Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 will be.]]

Like posted by others.. what happened to 3? I think Ubisoft is on crack

I hope the guy in GRAW4?... doesnt run like hes on rollerblades lol. I loved Graw2 and had a blast playing it.

Ghost Recon...loved that game in co-op. Realism > Rambo. ~~~~ Oh and Splinter Cell: Conviction was always a 360 exclusive.

ghost recon 4... was there even a 3?

@SkytheWiz1, Apologies, i didnt mention the PC release as i was only refering to the 'console' format, besides, Ubisoft have always been loyal to the PC platform, and therefore i would assume that a PC release would simply be a foregone conclusion. @Bajda_mdawwrA, Wow what an amazingly thought provoking and intelligent comment, the next time you have a moment of inspiration, could i recommend you keep it to yourself. Many Thanks!

I hope it's just for 360 so PS3 people can shut up about the PS3 having the only good exclusives this year. You know who you are.

@thenephariouson Technically, if it's being released for PC, it's not "exclusive," so I agree - "exclusive" is a BS term nowadays. It'll go to PS3 before too long.

@Nihmmoh Ubi have stated that SC: Conviction will be exclusively released on the 360, however it may eventually arrive for the PS3 ala Bioshock, but i guess you'll just have to wait and see, as it would seem that the term 'Exclusive' seems a little loose nowadays.

they made a GRAW3? wtf? where was i?

wait a sec.... is splinter cell conviction not coming to ps3?

Chaos Theory was my favourite

All im waiting for is Splinter Cell 4. Not double agent, not this conviction game either. I want them to make a proper Splinter Cell 4. Double agent sucked and Conviction seems to stray too far from the originals.

Well i think the Multiplayer component of a game is more important from a devs perspective as it simply adds longevity to a game, as opposed to completing a Single Player a couple of times then trading it in once your bored of it, which in turn lowers NEW game sales. One example of this is R6 Vegas 1, although over 2 years old, its still a fantastic MP game, that even now has a massive online following.

Hopefully the multi-player only format (I personally find it boring) will not take over the gaming industry, but rather continue to be offered as an additional option for certain games. First person shooters, RPG's, and the like are the bread winners for many gaming publishers these days. Although Wii has stolen some of the momentum from the other consoles because of it's "family" based appeal, I still believe that the base consoles will continue to make grounds on the PC (expensive at $2500-4500.00 for a system set up) in these times of money crunches. Hopefully during the next next generation of base consoles, we won't be seeing a price surge of several hundred dollars (although I may find myself still paying for it!), and games going for $80 a pop.

On the seemingly abscence of Ghost Recon 3. Like you I was somewhat confused. But then I remembered Ghost Recon history which had Ghost Recon then Ghost Recon 2, followed by the first next gen game called Ghost Recon: Advanced War Fighter. Then of course the best FSP of all time; Ghost Recon: Advanced War Fighter 2. Which was basically a tweak with alot of additional content. This would make these latter 2 games part of Ghost Recon 3. I have heard some of this thinking before, but like you, I wish Ubisoft would do a better job of conveying it. Ubisoft has passed up huge opportunities in marketing before with this FPS series. As is evidenced by by the success of it's competitor's game known as Call of Duty 4 (you might of heard of it). While COD 4 has a vastly superior single player campaign; FPS fans are more interested in multiplayer action. Even though GRAW 2 by far, trumps COD 4 in the multiplayer part of the game; COD 4 has won at the box office so to speak. So lets hope Ubisoft can score with both it's customary playability and maybe this time with it's marketability. (but don't hold your breath. They have already been showing confusing marketing signals again with their January announcement that the new game would not share the Ghost Recon name... Sheesh!) Glad that everything else is going well for them, because their creative hard work is often undermined by the people who are responsible for getting these games to market.

When did Ghost Recon 3 come out?

It's good and all that conviction is coming out this year but there still isn't that much other news out there on the game itself. Really it wouldn't be bad to have more gameplay details and other info.

i want another rainbow six but no more vegas somewhere different like new york, or dc now that would be cool

Now I'm confused. Will it be a new Ghost Recon, or a Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. I know what your saying dramaybaz, but that is ****** confusing. If its a new GRAW it has to be 3 right? The last one was 2.

GRAW and GRAW 2

Guys , It was; 1. Ghost Recon 2. Ghost Recon 2 3. Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter , Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 4 will beGhost Recon 4 GRAW & GRAW2 were kind of like Cod4: Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 will be.

Is Ghost Recon 3 already out?

when did ghost recon 3 come out? never heard of it.

How many times do you see the words "expected" and "should". Jeez.

alright, new ghost recon and splinter cell. is there any evidence of the new rainbow six game???

A new GRAW 3 and a new R6 exclusivly for the Xbox 360.

Oh wait I am just thinking about Advanced Warfighter, nevermind.

Ghost Recon 4? Is there a Ghost Recon 3?

Shaun white snowboarding sold that well? i'm surprised

Man ive been waiting for awhile to hear about a new ghost recon game. I'm glad they finally gave us a release date (kind of). I hope they dont change the game TOO much though.

Geez, Shaun White sold 3M? Uh oh... Also, new Wii sports franchise from Ubi? Time for the shovelware alarm! SHOOOOOOOOOOOVELLLLLWAAAAARE!!!!

I agree with jfmorris...the constant repetitiveness was driving me insane on Assassins Creed...graphically a gorgeous game and fun, but repeat the same moves over and over...jeez....

Finally Conviction will be coming... and Assassin's Creed 2.. this will be a good year for Ubi if they do well.

Glad to hear they're doing well, although I was disappointed in both Assassin's Creed and their Prince of Persia reboot. I bought both, but finished neither--the repetitive structure of both games (enter area/defeat area boss/repeat in new area) just turned me off. It may sound retrograde of me, but I think I would have preferred a more linear approach in each game, if it had meant less repetition and backtracking.

Although really happy at this announcement, i would absoloutely love to see an announcement on a new R6 game.

isaacmj Posted May 1, 2009 2:04 am GMT -12 Assassin's Creed 2, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction, Rabbids Go Home, Red Steel 2, Ghost Recon 4, and Dawn of Discovery they all sound great but the one I'm really looking forward to the Ghost Recon Me Too!!! Scotty Mitchell, your my hero.

well CamiKitten you know how 360 fans feel about metal gear 4 don't you. i am not gonna buy a ps 3 just for that game but if they put it on 360 no matter how many disks it spans i would buy it. i just like to play my games if something apears on ps 3 but not 360 i continue to enjoy the great games i already have on the 360 but ps 3 fans moan when the shoe is on the other foot. just go and enjoy the games on your ps 3 most of which are on 360 anyway.

i can't wait for the new splinter cell. splinter cell is my favorite ubisoft game.

WHERE IS VEGAS???

what about advanced warfighter 3 love that series

SC: Conviction is what I'm looking forward to, if just for the multiplayer.

Brian Ekberg's Splinter Cell due by holiday '09, you heard it here first.
