This is for many of you gamers who are interested in seeing the sales of your favorite Ubisoft game.
Ubisoft reported sales figures for the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2007/2008. Fourth quarter sales were up ten percent with full year sales up 36 percent to $1.32 billion. Fourth quarter sales outstripped initial forecasts due to strong performances from Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2, The Games For Everyone Brands and Assassin's Creed. During its fourth quarter Ubisoft maintained its ranking as the third largest independent publisher in the U.S. and acquired the Tom Clancy brand.
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2, which reached almost two million sell-in units and ranked second in all-format sales for March in the United States and United Kingdom according to NPD and Chart-Track.
The Games For Everyone (G4E) brands, which topped €230 million ($326.13 million) in sales for the year.
Assassin's Creed, which continued its robust performance, achieving more than six million sell-in units since its launch.
During the first three months of the 2008 calendar year, Ubisoft continued to grow faster than the market based on sell-through data:
In the United States , Ubisoft posted growth of 38 percent (compared to 28 percent for the United States market as a whole), with market share of 7.2 percent versus 6.7 percent in the first quarter of 2007.
In Europe , Ubisoft’s growth was 43 percent (compared to 26 percent for the European market as a whole), with market share of 9.5 percent versus 8.4 percent in the first quarter of 2007.
Yves Guillemot, Chief Executive Officer of Ubisoft, stated: "2007-08 was a remarkable year for Ubisoft, underpinned by three strategic achievements:
Continued strengthening of existing franchises such as Rainbow Six, Rayman, The Settlers and Ghost Recon which recorded excellent sales levels.
The sharp ramp-up of the "Games For Everyone" casual range, whose sales figures tripled over the year.
A steady output of new releases with Assassin's Creed and Imagine that have performed exceptionally well.
These strategic focuses will once again be the key to our success in 2008 which is set to be another record year for the industry with growth expected to reach at least 15 percent. Ubisoft’s games line-up is particularly strong, with no fewer than seven existing franchises, five new releases and new brands in the casual segment."
