Ubisoft’s just reported Q3 revenue at €495 million, down 2.7 percent from the same period last year.
The first nine months of fiscal 2009-10 weren’t so solid, however. Sales dropped to €661 million compared to €852 million for the three quarters ending December 31 in 2008, a 22.4 percent decrease.
The French company said it’s sticking with its strategy of “concentrating on more regular releases for its major franchises.”
As far as Ubi’s Q4 goes, the firm plans to release the PC version of Assassin’s Creed 2, Red Steel 2, The Settlers 7: Paths to a Kingdom and Silent Hunter 5: Battle of the Atlantic between now and the end of March.
The company added that it expects 2010 to be “stable,” with “at least” seven franchise titles making it out, including Splinter Cell Conviction, Driver, Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands, the new Assassin’s Creed, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (announced this morning) and another Raving Rabbids game.

This is seriously disappointing. I mean, what with AC2 doing great business and Just Dance at the top of the charts, how can they be losing so much money?
If ever there was a good investment to be made in the VG industry, I could have sworn it was Ubi. Maybe I was wrong… like, really really wrong.

Huh. They’re still making The Settlers games? Didn’t they used to be from a company called Blue Byte? So I guess Ubi bought them? I missed that one, it seems…
Um, so anyway, if your profits are down anyway you might as well get to work on a new 2D Rayman game… Get to work I say!
…what year is this again?
