PC is also working very well for Ubisoft, even though the publisher has never supported properly the platform, reaching the 23% of the entire Ubisoft’s software revenue.

Judging from the figures, PS4 clearly is the dominating console and the most important console for Ubisoft and it is followed by the PC users.

Looking forward, Ubisoft forecasts to earn around USA $91 million (€ 90 million) in the next quarter, while it aims to earn an operating income of approximately USA $202 million (€200 million).

According to a recent financial report, the PS4 represents 27% of all revenue from Ubisoft games in the quarter ending June 30, 2015.

The french publisher hit target but compared to Q1’14, sales fell 73% due to the success of Watch Dogs previous year.

As far as the geographic regions are concerned, Ubisoft expects to sustain its sales from the Europe region, while it projects a 7% decline in sales for the US. The results are better than expectations, with games sales bringing in €96.6 million, previously only €80 million had been forecast.
