Guillemot mentioned that Ubisoft will take advantage of the potential of the two machines and that potential is “really high.” Ubisoft believes that players will be “very impressed” by the quality of what the new consoles will bring to the market.

The fact that they will be backward compatible and they will run “almost all the back catalog of the previous consoles.”

This is new in the industry and it’ll help the old generation to continue to be relevant on the market for the years to come and it’ll “grow the market a lot.”

Ubisoft expects to see lots of consoles being sold and a lot of marketing to promote those machines that will be more powerful. On top of that, there will be a new increase in the total addressable market as the old consoles will remain strong.

If you’re interested in Ubisoft’s financial performance, the publisher just announced its quarterly financial results, which you can read in our dedicated article.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
