Ubisoft "Surprised" By Lackluster Sales Of Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope

I couldn't even finish the first one. Wasn't bad, but I got burnt out. Then they released a second one on the same console. I was like, I'm good mate.

Make a new Rayman game.

We can only hope that when some Chinese conglomerate buys them that they know what to do with them cuz these fools sure don't.

God of War Ragnarok has the most nominations at the 2023 DICE Awards, with a total of 12. Horizon Forbidden West has eight, followed by Elden Ring with seven. In addition to those three, Stray and Vampire Survivors are contenders for Game of the Year.

LOL,

mario + rabbits is a niche game, so even if it is good, it won't do incredible sales

as for just dance, well just dance on switch shouldn't exist, just moving 1 hand, seriously that has NOTHING to do with dance, that game should have died with kinect

it is time for ubisoft to release the games the promised us 10 years ago (where is beyond good and evil 2?)

Aww they think it's not them, it's us. Adorable.

People are probably waiting for the game to drop in price. Ubisoft themselves set up the expectation that their games are frequently discounted, and Kingdom Battle itself often goes on sale for less than $20.

Why buy the game now and pay $60, when it will be discounted to half price (or less) in less than six months? In fact, the game is currently discounted to $40 at a number of retailers.

Too bad. Enjoyed the first one and am looking forward to picking this one up, but Ubi has nobody to blame but themselves. Whoever thought this series had the chops to launch against CoD, Pokemon and GoW better update their LinkedIn page.

Garbage games. Still can't believe Nintendo agreed to this series.

It's almost like having a reputation for producing crappy games is catching up to them or something.

The game is great but launching a few weeks ahead of pokemon when pokemon is double dipping fools ofc it cost them sales.

Game sounds cool, but taking out multiplayer sapped my interest a bit. Also, other than Pokemon, direct sequels released on the same Nintendo console generally sell quite a bit less than the first.

There’s nothing to be surprised about. It’s an Xcom-style tactics game. It was never going to sell well. I love these games, but most people aren’t into tactics. Even the people I know who bought the first one don’t want this one, because they didn’t actually like the gameplay. They just bought it, because of the weird concept. Now that the novelty has worn off for them, they have no interest in this one. I’d imagine that’s the case for a lot of people.

Games for Nintendo consoles only sell if they are made by Nintendo. It is common knowledge and even a game made by a 3rd party with Nintendo characters in it doesn't sell. Yes, the first game did well.......and the sequel was always going to fail. PS- I bought both and have barely played the new one yet.

It sucks to hear. I don't currently have a Switch, and I wouldn't buy one just for this, but if this had been released on PS, I would have supported it. I really liked the first one.

Surprising, given that Nintendo owners seemingly buy any and everything Nintendo craps out, regardless of quality. And framerate.

Rabbids, as a concept, are not something too appealing to me. They are the Minions of video games, and I find them annoying.
