All their success in this report is stemming from next gen consoles. The only spec of dim light I see for their PC line is that it wasn't a negative contribution to sales. PC games as a percent of sales dropping from 43% to 6% in one year is a pretty telling story of where Ubi's attention is now clearly focused.

I guess we could hope for a dumbed down X360 or PS3 naval game.

I agree with your assessment, but you can afford to continue to produce PC sims if your company is flourishing in the console market and the PC games are not actually losing money.

Well... I guess they're not going out of business. In that sense, I guess it's good news.

I was pretty much sayin the same thing 2 months ago... This update only confirms what I've suspected.

But yeah, you're right, could be worse, 6% isn't zero yet. I'd be surprised to see any PC releases from Ubi in 2008 that aren't console ports.
