The quarter in question is from April to June this year. Total sales topped €130 million, compared to the same period lasting year at €103 million. Ubisoft’s online sales up 112%.
You may remember that Trials Evolution made its mark in history after it sold over 100k copies in the first 24 hours it released on Xbox Live Arcade, back in April, earning the highest gross.
The next quarter is expected to dip to €110 million which falls below what the same period in the last fiscal achieved.

”Our capacity to create successful brands and high-quality content, allied with our ongoing progress in the item-based model, multi-screen gaming and the development of Uplay (our online services and distribution platform, which now boasts 35 million members) place us in an ideal position to leverage these two opportunities.”
