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

I also thought about that.
It makes more sense to control a bigger share of the market (hmm AAA titles market?) so therefore the buyer is deciding between UBI vs UBI, rather than UBI vs COMPETITOR.

At the same time, the world economy isn't at any high point at all (specially the US, that's for the lols) and there money going to the market for VG is limited.
Potentially, they will get a bigger profit in the long run since they will spread their sales over 2 periods and not just one.

Of course, the game being glitchy is ALSO a big part of the delay I'm sure.

I just see it as if they had to delay either WD or AC4; one means fans get hurt, one means fans hurt them

But yes, I agree with you as well

Oh really?

I didn't know they said that.

What I know is that they stated they won't make anything that can't become a franchise.

I know they are quoted to say that only AAA productions are the future.

So who knows?
I mean they are publishing Child of Light...lol

There is no clear defininton of what an AAA game is and what it is not

Generally it is thought of by budget and how much resources are put behind it

To be honest, the last several AC games could be considered AAA+ or AAAA games as Ubisoft are known for using the most devs, artists, personnel for each of their games vs other publishers

I assure you that all AC games are considered at least AAA

Quality of a game has nothing to do with it being AAA or not

Size of the game and the effort behind it qualify it as AAA or not

This.

Budget is what really dictates.

It could be the worst game ever..yet

I though they said this as well.

Also there is a difference between publishing and developing.
