In a way it would be nice if SH5 was such a commercial dissapointment for Ubi that they sold the SH IP to a smaller development house to whom such a title would be real meat. It just seems that it is being under-developed because Ubi rather prioritise resources elsehwere on more profitble product streams.
If a poor SH release can still sell 200k copies at $50 a pop then thats still a gross figure of $10million in sales, so the commercials are in place for a smaller specialist developer - if Ubi let go of the IP that is.
