Ubisoft has revealed their results for their financial period ending with December 31, 2006, and the company has beat expectations of €280 million by €31 million.
Explaining this, Ubisoft noted that 63% of its sales were attributable to the new generation of consoles, including 21% on Wii. Ubisoft claims the number-one publisher spot for Wii in the U.S. and Europe (presumably behind Nintendo themselves), with market shares of 18% and 29.2% respectively. CEO Yves Guillemot had this to say:
On top of these successes, Ubisoft also said it will open a CGI studio in Quebec to produce short films, thanks in part to a Canadian government grant. Very interesting, indeed.
