From Next-Gen.biz:
Quote: Guillemot seemed particularly enthusiastic about Nintendo’s success in both the handheld and home console markets.
“[Nintendo’s mass market strategy] is very profitable for Nintendo, and very profitable for all third-party publishers,” he said. “…Because [the strategy] is working, we create more product [for Nintendo platforms] and this will actually bring more people into the industry. The Wii is going to continue to do extremely well with no limit to growth.
Guillemot said Ubisoft currently has 400-500 people who are dedicated to the Wii platform right now, and believes that next year, Ubisoft will have “Nintendo-like quality” on the Wii.
He also praised the DS for helping expand Ubisoft’s business as well as the industry worldwide. CFO Alain Martinez added that DS games, with their relatively low development costs, achieve profitability at around 100,000 units sold, while a next-gen game for PS3 or Xbox 360 needs to sell around 1.3 million.
前面没有资格叫嚣的Eidos放了豪言之后,Ubi这边也开始了,不过却完全相反。赞美了一下任天堂的市场战略之后,Ubi宣布他们现在有400到500名员工正在为Wii的项目忙碌,他们还放豪言,说要达到“任天堂游戏般的质量(Nintendo-like quality)“。
