Ubisoft fourth quarter sales pushed up by warfighters, turtles

The company's fourth quarter sales saw an increase of 37% to $267.5 million, largely instigated by the one million unit success of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 on Xbox 360, as well as the TMNT film-based game which dragged in 1.1 million units in its eight platform-wide net. Sales for the full 2006/2007 fiscal year stand at $923.4 million following a jump of 24.4%, with earlier titles such as Red Steel, Rayman: Raving Rabbids, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas and Petz being key contributors.
Ubisoft expects profitability to increase further in the coming year by supporting new-gen consoles and expanding their presence in "the casual market on the Wii and Nintendo DS systems." Oh! We've yet to add casual games into our bubbling cauldron of cross-franchise success! So, that'll be Tom Clancy's Krang Age, then?

1.1 million suckers contributing to crappy software and the homogenization of consoles.

I wouldn't say that their antics are anthropomorphic per se. Although they might be themselves, I'd say their antics are fairly wacky and zany.

Hmm. Now that you mention it, a TMNT game with Splinter Cell gameplay might be awesome!
