It happend to COncord, Flintlock, Dustborne, not sure why they are even surprised

Don't forget Destruction AllStars or Forspoken.

The damage done by acolyte and Disney Wars being shit is the actual cause.

Pachter pathetic as always, continuing his 25 plus year career of never having made a single accurate prediction ever.

dont forget about how the game become a meme on its release too, downgraded graphics from the trailers, poor enemy ai, lot of hilarious bugs

people thinking this is bc of dei are in for a funny awakening

Nothing about it seemed interesting IMO. Ubi needs to subvert expectations, people are too aware of their "formula'

Ubisoft really done the actress a huge disservice

In resident evil game usually they enhanced the character model like jill valentine, claire redfield, ada wong etc to look even better but here is ubisoft doing the opposite

Do you mean 7.5M unit solds of all Ubisoft games during the quarter? Or only Star Wars Outlaws in a certain period of time?
Only Outlaws.

It was corrected to around 5-5.5m then.

Now they expect much less...

Looks like this piece of shit sold only 1 million in a month 🤭 , I guess another win for the "incels". Failguard is also on track for the same or slightly better results, First time I am cheering for a CoD lol. Heck I will buy the vault edition if BLOPS 6 overshadows veilguard and causes bioware to close 🙏

I remember when Mass Effect Triology was THE reference for an epic Sci-Fi RPG!
Dragon Age was a close second!

Now... I can't even watch their Trailers anymore, without cringing...

The biggest issue that gets overlooked is Day 1 on Ubi+ for a major AAA.

You get turned off right away about paying full price when other people are paying $10 at the same time as you. Cheap, bargain bin aura at release. Same issue with GamePass or PC ports for Sony.

You devalue your stuff and people just don't care and move to the next premium game instead. These people just don't understand the psychology behind brand loyalty.

It's like going to see a free random show in a park or paying to go in a stadium. More people are willing to pay for the full experience of the stadium show.

Gamepass/Xbox has a massive Image Problem.

It is recognized as the low-quality platform, with a cheap subscription service (of poor quality!).

There are more and more games you are missing out on, as a Xbox Customer, and many Publishers don't want those gamepass deals either.
A Big-Player like Take Two coming out, and making clear GTA 6 won't be on Gamepass, is a huge statement!

Wukong is not on Gamepass either. (Or even on Xbox...).
Elden Ring is not on Gamepass.
Hogwarts Legacy is not on Gamepass.
And so on...

Why would anyone pump money in a platform/subcription, that might won't even receive the games anyone wants to play anymore?

People brag about how much money they "saved" from playing whatever is in Gamepass. It is just dumb and naive.
They expected to play the latest games for $9,99/month, but that dream is dead.

Considering Disney Wars has mostly been a dumpster fire and abomination since its inception … this is fantastic news. One million in a month is disastrous for this game.

Ubisoft’s public apology to gamers and being the first to acknowledge we had enough of this contrived bubblegum garbage is also nice to see.

Don’t let gaming turn into the film industry and be filled of soulless designed by committee marvel slop.
