I am simply speaking from a stock holder perspective of wanting gains/profit. Trust me my recipe is sound.
As much as I agree (or want to), I believe it wasn't really anything wrong with the games.

I believe it was basically down to profit. By releasing too many titles too close to each other, they cannibalize their own sales, specially heading into the holiday season. They don't want people choosing between AC4 or WD, they rather people own both.

I'm pretty sure I could be completely wrong, but looking at it from a business POV and even taking the stock holders into account; it would seem like a smart business decision.

Of course delaying AC4 WOULD NOT be even an option as that is already established and would hurt sales more than anything.

Just my thoughts

Funny thing is it is not good in just this instance... delays are almost always good as it is always better to give devs more time to make a game better. The only people who would disagree are over entitled consumers who always want things "NOW!".



Nice stuff Lowly... sorry to hear about the Royal Mail strike.
All the previews i read said the game had LOADS of bugs and glitches still to be fixed and with a release in less than two months some previewers even predicted a delay

I agree with you somewhat
But I would like to offer one minor view point
If there are 2 games being released at one time
And UBisoft sells one, then ubisoft take 1/2 of the sales

But if there are 3 games released, and UBisoft sell 2
Then that is 2/3
And 2/3 is more then 1/2
Although I am aware your view point is correct and I agree with you
I am just saying
