If simulations are truly dying, then we have to look after the wellfare of the sims we have already. Does anyone know how well SH4 is selling? I don't know myself, but I'll tell you if they're making money on it then Ubi will stay in this niche regardless of rivettcounters (LOL first for me as well).
I think, for them, the bigger problem is where do you go from here? We have the Atlantic U-boats. We have the pacific subs. Now, in the future, do you expand the game, offering two campaigns, the ability to play for the Axis OR Allies, and open up the entire world (Atlantic and Pacific) and store it all on two DVDs next time? Or do you move into the dawn of nuclear subs, leaving the WW2 theater and entering a fictional Cold War turned WW3 ala Red Storm Rising?
