Default It's amazing that they bother...

Yves Guillemot CEO Ubisoft says...
"We have sold more than 5 million units of games in the Petz line and casual games on DS and Wii. So the casual series exists already, but we plan to do a lot more,"
(quote from GamesIndustry.biz)

The Petz kids game from Ubisoft sells about 15 times more copies than SH and doubtless is a lot less complex to program and retails at inflated console prices!

Looking at that, it's amazing Ubisoft even contemplate doing a subsim at all!

Maybe this explains part of it...

"Yves is a sailing and horse-riding enthusiast." source Mobygames

Although I don't think that the next part of his bio is accurate based on recent events!!!

"He is married with three children, who are the harshest judges of Ubi Soft games."
