Michael Pachter: Ubisoft could double sales by 2010

Ubisoft - Image 1There's no doubt that game developer and publisher Ubisoft is one of the big names in the video game industry. From October to December of last year, the company reported earnings of € 450 million (US$ 650 million). That's € 40 million (around US$ 59 million) more than their expected revenue.

This increase in earnings has not gone unnoticed. Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter has given word that they believe Ubisoft may be in a position to double its revenue by the year 2010. Here's what he had to say:

By FY:10, we believe that the company is in a position to more than double revenues from FY:07 levels, and could deliver contribution margin on its revenue growth of more than 40 percent.


Ubisoft is well positioned to gain share over the next several years, and continues to execute well on its strategy to gain share on each next generation platform. Its strength in the casual games has tracked well with surprising Nintendo DS hardware sales growth, which we expect to continue into 2008.


This recent success of Ubisoft has been attributed to multiple factors such as having a video game line-up which pretty much covers every console and handheld out in the market. Whatever the reason for their success, no one can say that the company hasn't been releasing good games. In the end, that's what we gamers really care about.

If they are doing so well, why would they need to be cancelling so many games, or discontinuing them. Also why all of a sudden on what seem to be really good franchise. From what I have seen over the past couple of days it looks more like they are in trouble as apose to doing realy well.



I'm more than likely wrong and they have very good reason for what they have done, but that's what it looks like to me.

He said by 2010.. Thats 2 years (we just started 08). I dont really like ubisoft anymore just because there about the only company that dosnt know how to work the damn ps3 yet. Assassin's creed was glitchy, RSV was REALLY glitch (if your playing online all of a sudden you just go to the XMB), GRAW 2 suked. Obviously it isnt that hard to make a good game cause insomniac is perfecting it, 40 player online in resistance 1 which no one yet has beat, Now there stepping up to 60. Ubisoft has all these weak games, they really need to learn the ps3.

Yer either way, my cousin wrote that and the information he got was wrong, idiot, wish he would create his own account instead of writing CR*P on mine. I should take auto sign-in off.
