For a company complaining so much about piracy on the PC in the past and putting all sorts of measures against it,it looks like the PC is making them big bank according to those numbers,pretty much either ahead/on the level of most consoles,even with all the piracy lol.

probably would do better if they hadn't implemented UPlay and optimized Watch_dogs a bit better
Wow. PS4 dominates in being milked. Why do individual game sales even matter to you at all?
Also, I'm impressed the PC reached 14% considering how many people skipped the game because of uPlay
Everyone trashes Watch Dogs, but then are proud they're platform was teh one that sold more. Exact same thing with COD.
Also, i think 14% is understandable. FC3 had 25% of the sales on pc, nor including the profit margins thanks to DD and, potential sale on Uplays tore, so not cuts to Steam. I wonder why.
And these quarterly results are true for any of the major publishers. Which is why games like Destiny aren't coming to Wii U, but Sheep keep saying it makes no sense
Well, I don't think ubisoft really released any games in those time periods for wiiU and 3DS, so that probably isn't helping the percentage
Companies generally report their numbers quarterly (although I guess this is a European company, and I thought they did their numbers semi-annually?).
In either case, on almost every type of financial report - companies compare themselves "quarter vs quarter" compared to the prior year - they don't necessarily always compare "month vs month".

Ubisoft did not release anything significant since Assassin Creed 4 for the WiiU. So the numbers will be super low for ubisoft.Most of there WiiU/3ds games will be released on the in the fall/winter.I don't even remember the last time Ubisoft published a 3ds game.

But I've seen these Ubisoft quarterly results posted all year though, and I don't think it's ever been above 1%, even when the PS4/Xbox One weren't even out yet.
Even with Splinter Cell Blacklist U, Just Dance U, AC and Rayman/Child of Light - it just shows that third-party games on this system do not make enough money for them to make it worth their time anymore. And I know people say it's because the Ubisoft games were gimped, but I don't believe a fully complete, packed-to-the-gills version of Wii U Splinter Cell and AC 3 and AC4 would've suddenly make 0%-1% jump up much higher. A staggering 500,00-800,000 Wii U gamers didn't buy a game just because of a missing mode or feature(s) for a particular Wii U game?
The Wii percentages dropped drastically too, which only adds to the unsettling Nintendo picture. This tells me many gamers are tired of playing the Wii these days, not buying the Wii U games, and are going to PS4/One or mobile gaming, or just waiting it out. All Ubisoft and every publisher learns from these sales results is that it's much smarter to put games on PS3/PS4/One/360/PC (where they make the most money) and a bad idea to put a game on Wii U.
Just Dance sells better on the Wii/WiiU than it does on PS systems and Rayman also sold best on the WiiU. Dunno bought child of light and I know Blacklist bombed. I frankly don't see the point of putting a lot of multiplat games on the WiiU at this point given the system ecosystem is currently not healthy but its a loop. Its never going to be a healthy system if third parties don't support it at all. I don't see the point in putting already established series on the WiiU like Assassin's Creed or Batman but I think they are flawed by avoiding having something like Destiny or Watch Dogs on the WiiU at launch with a solid marketing push. New franchises are a chance to grow. If for some reason, next gen Nintendo is producing solid numbers again, it's going to fucking hurt third parties not having any established franchises they can fall on to that hardware.
That's sales into the retail channel. Not sales that consumers actually purchased. Ubisoft always over saturates and floods the markets with their products. That is why you can always by them 2 weeks after launch for $39.99 and you can usually find them at specific retailers at specific times for $19.99 3 months after launch.

Its important for some people to feel like they fit in. Any evidence of the PS brand being the most popular some how makes the world a more acceptable place for TC
I wonder what would have happened if they had not delayed it. Looks like they made the right choice....great game but at the same time doesn't hold up to GTA that well . One of the best apects of GTA5 was the flying, and that is not even something that exists in Watchdogs it seems(not in the 10 hours or so that I've played it anyways).
Very happy to see strong sales on PS4 and Xbox One, consoles ain't going anywhere anytime soon.
Incoming 1001 hermit excuses and that it's just because Ubisoft sucks and only Consolers buy their games and that it's different for every other publisher.

This. Also LOL @ WiU. No wonder publishers have abandoned that platform

Not surprising to see a game sell more on the console that doesn't have many games to play.

i gave a reasonable explanation..only fanboys call them "excuses" and then not give any argument against them

I doubt very much uPlay is doing much to damage PC sales. The difference between those numbers between first three months and earlier periods is most likely a lot simplier to explain: Ubi didn't release any PC centric games in that period. People like to bash Ubi for medicore PC ports, but they often forget that this company also releases quite a lot PC exclusive. When they do the sales on PC jump a lot. Plus of course, those charts don't take into account all the money Ubi is making on their PC F2P games, which they have quite many

so what your point
Key word here is "was". PS4 wasn't around last quarter anyways so you fail trying to compare PS4 and PC using last quarter numbers.
Well, if you take it as a ratio considering the installbase of each platform, then Xbox would be a lot closer. If it is the case that PS4 is more than double Xbox One sales, then the attach rate is higher on Xbox One.
