Yves Guillemot, Ubisoft CEO has told investors during a Q&A portion of the annual earnings call that Wii U will be a great success. Guillemot then went on to say that the publisher and development studio is extremely happy with the functionality of the console.
“What is really interesting is the fact that we have this tablet that allows us to bring totally new gameplay, and also brings the possibility to have a lot more social functionalities, because you can have now a screen to play asynchronously with your friends, to receive challenges and to really have a screen to communicate with your friends. That is going to help tremendously the experience in video games.
“We feel that the more we grow, the more use we will have for social functions in our games. And the new gameplays – a lot have been invented in other platforms, so there are lots of new ideas that will come to console. So that will help to bring new games with good functionalities, and be very good in turn at usage.
“So all this tells us,” he went on, “that the machine can have a great success, because it will bring to families a good machine. And this will be for gamers but also for all the social games that are generally sold on the Wii. Going after those two types of populations will give a good chance for that machine to have a great success.”
Wii U > Pony and Eggsbox
NINTENDO IS TRUE GAMING!

Hahaha! Way to scare away the trolls! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6WwBLJW_Qc&feature=plcp
you’re a fanboy
and your a mad sony/microsoft fag! GET N OR GET OUT!!!!!
good to hear from a AAA developer, no doubt punters who know it won’t be successful will probably tell us it won’t though.
sony and eggsbox fags r jeolous that Nintendo are still around after 100 years and delivering true gaming experiences! Long live Nintendo
plus they feel threatened which is why they troll despite ppl like ubisoft praising the console for is specs and features…
what
sony and xbox fans feel threatened cos wii U will be more powerful than current gen…
LONG LIVE NINTENDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There’s been more and more positive talk of the Wii U leading up to E3. A couple more weeks and I hope the Big N blows everyone’s socks off after forcing all this “no talk” on all the developers. This wait has been driving me crazy!!!
hear hear! Nintendo always dominate! Remember the zelda twilight princess trailer with no leaks? Look what happened their with the crowd…
may be slightly off topic, but this guy speaks a lot of sense! Definitely worth a watch!
TAKE THAT SONY FANBOYS AND MICROSOFT FANBOYS!!!!!!!!!!! CANT HANDLE IT HUUUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????
Hmm I’m an xbox and nintendo fan Fuck you. And frankley I’m getting both consoles.
my name is not ‘fuck you’ or do you mean ‘Hmm I’m an xbox and Nintendo fan, fuck you?
yours sincerely,
Grammer nazi
-_-
Wow….some grammar nazi you are….
OMG fight fight fight fight LOL
yes yes yes get him get him!!!!
There’s a difference between “fan” and “fanboy”. According to most people on the internet, a “fan” is someone who really likes what they’re a fan of, a “fanboy” is someone who decides to only like one brand of console and then goes around insulting all the other consoles and everyone who likes them or wants to get one.
Sony drones and Microsoft Fanboys are in Denial!
so true
you speak the truth
Sexiest looking console ever.
NOT AS SEXY AS U BABY
stfu
i am shut…. i am typing to you…
Going after those two types of populations will give a good chance for that machine to have a great success.”
SONY! THIS IS WHY YOU FAIL!!! BACKWARDS COMPATBILITY FOR THE WIIIIN!!!!!
I can’t believe nobody told you yet. Shut the fuck up with your offensive and immature attitude.
wait did u just offend yourself what just happened
Of course it’s going to be a success!
WELL NO SHIT SHERLOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This site is in dire need of moderators.
Yes mr Elitist I agree with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes. I love this site, but some of the people on here give nintendo fans a bad name.
Some people here give commenters called “Anonymous” a bad name.
haha thats hilarious and very true :)
jeolous much cunt?
No, he’s just sick of you being such an immature person offering no interesting insight.
u are hilarious
u too joshy oishy!!!!!!!!!
Piss flaps.
So very good to hear. Nintendo must really be on the right track to impress Ubisoft to this extent. I can’t wait for E3. Nintendo will dominate again. Leave luck to heaven.
Yes they will! This year’s E3 is going to be superior in Nintendo’s favor!!
I think they will really shake things up, shut some mouths, and leave some mouths gaping wide open after some seriously epic announcements.
Ubisoft is just one of the many who have the fullest support for both Nintendo and Wii U. I truly agree with the CEO. The Wii U will be a huge success… not only the system is bringing hardcore gamers back, but also the power to communicate with your friends and family… whether it’s on video chat or one the apps Facebook.
The countdown to Nintendo’s E3 press conference continues as we are now 19 days away from dropping the A-Bomb.
My body is ready………..
My body is Reggie!
Now you’re playing with power, Wildman. LOL…
Nintendo better do well but I’m not worried I’m getting the wii u and metro last light is coming for it I’m excited!! Also I think so will copy nintendo as they always do. Dumb bastards!!!
Sorry I meant to type
I
I think sony will copy nintendo
Not “so” lol
i totally agree
I agree with Ubisoft, Wii-U will be successful.
Very large difference between can have a great success and will have a great success. This site constantly edits quotes and misleads people with the titles to be more positive towards Nintendo.
Its as if you’re just trying to keep all the Nintendo fanboys on here happy.
Fucking Troll this site does it on the vita news
I have high hope for wiiu. as long as it’s not spammed with shit shovelware, there’s no reason it shouldn’t succeed.
How long do you think it will be until Sony copies the Wii u
Until Sony loses another 4 billion (US) dollars. I don’t think the company would make an investment in creating a system to copy Nintendo’s graphics and touchscreen controller.
“Going after those two types of populations will give a good chance for that machine to have a great success.”
Agreed. I think that’s exactly the kind of adaptation consoles need today. Universality without compromise of the core function–gaming.
if you are a gamer, nintendo console is the best for you
