Ubisoft on Wii U: ‘We Need More Sold’ Before We’ll Make More Exclusives

Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot has spoken about the absence of the Wii U during the company's pre-E3 press conference stating that the company needs "more sold" before they'll make more exclusives for the console.

"They [Nintendo] are coming with five of their biggest brands ever," Guillemot commented. "And the Yen wnet down. So maybe they will take steps that will increase the number of consoles sold.

"Our job is to be agile. We have to adapt the company to the potential of the market. So, what we did last year, was we knew we could learn second-screen with Nintendo, so we went full-speed to use this capacity the console was bringing. And we were able to develop Rayman, which will come at the end of this year and which is fantastic, using this second screen.

"What we saw is that, in learning that, we can also use it with the other consoles with [Xbox] SmartGlass, for example, and it's a good option that is coming to us. If you look at us this year on Wii U we will have a lot of products."

Rayman Legends was originally announced as a Wii U exclusive but has since been confirmed for PS3, Xbox 360 and PS Vita. The Vita version will have exclusive content.

As for ZombiU, which was a Wii U exclusive, he said "you will see something emerge one day" in relation to a future game in the series but Guillemot didn't say whether any potential sequel will stick to Nintendo's platform.
