Ubisoft admits to over-porting Wii

While EA was caught off guard by the Wii, Ubisoft ended up over-saturating. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot now admits that "mistakes" were made in just porting games with tacked-on controls. Although many can debate the quality of original titles like Rayman Raving Rabbids and Red Steel (both reached the million sold mark), it's not so easy to be kind about sloppy ports FarCry: Vengeance and Prince of Persia: Rival Swords. Speaking with German über magazine Spiegel, Guillemot admits that they sacrificed quality in their haste to capitalize on the Wii.

Well, hopefully Ubisoft learned its lesson and got enough cash from the Wii to put some effort behind the next crop of games. They've already announced a sequel for the Rabbids at their UbiDays event, but there really isn't too much else announced in the Ubisoft Wii pipeline. Maybe they'll save the Wii announcements for E3, despite Guillemot's feelings about the event.
