Ubisoft took in 11.9 million euros (almost $15 million) last year, compared to 24.7 million euros (just over $31 million) the previous year. Overall sales were up to 547.1 million euros (over $644 million) from 532.5 million euros (almost $670 million), a jump of 3 percent.

A company statement stressed increased expenses on next-gen research and development as well as current-gen advertising as the reason for lower profits, but CEO Yves Guillemot sees the numbers as positive for the company.
