Ubisoft posted its first-quarter 2009-10 sales reports this morning, and there was bad news and bad news. I'll give you the bad news first: Ubi's sales for the first quarter of 2009-10 came to €83 million, down 50.6%, compared with the €169 million recorded for the same period of 2008-09. This was due to an unanticipated slowdown of Nintendo DS game sales and lower back-catalog sales than anticipated, as well as the overall crap-tastic market. Overall expectations for the rest of the fiscal year were revised downward.
Now the bad news: Splinter Cell Conviction and Red Steel 2, whose releases were previously planned for the third fiscal quarter, will now be released in the fourth fiscal quarter, effectively delaying them until 2010. Sorry, guys.
Ghost Recon and I am Alive, which were previously scheduled for release in the fourth fiscal quarter, will now "strengthen the line-up" for fiscal 2010-11. Sorry again, guys.
In a statement, Yves Guillemot, Chief Executive Officer of Ubisoft said:
We are disappointed that we have to postpone the release of several major games but we consider that this choice is the best one in the long-term interests of Ubisoft. Lastly, we are having to adjust our full-year targets to take into account the fall in business over the first half. The excellent response to our games at E3, as well as the high buzz generated for titles such as Assassin's Creed 2, Splinter Cell Conviction and Avatar, reinforce our belief that the company can achieve strong growth in the second half of the fiscal year."

I'll admit this is a dissapointment to see Splinter Cell being delayed but at the same time its a relief and those who like me have all 3 consoles plus a gaming PC know that I'm talking about.
I don't know where I'd find all the money to get all the games , Halo ODST , WET , Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 , DragonAge , Borderlands , Brutal Legend , Demon's Soul , Uncharted 2 , Forza 3 , CoD MW2 , Assassin's Creed2 , L4D2 , Ratchet and Clank ETC...and there's allot more
Honestly , too much is like not enough. And for those still caring about console wars , all of those have great lineups for 09-2010 , have strengths and weaknesses. Just be happy for what you have!
Peace out ;)

I decided not to get Red Steel 2 since they changed the story. I liked the Yakuza story of the first RS. So they can delay it or never release it as far as I'm concerned. And I wasn't planning on getting Conviction. Not my kind of game. I want This Is Vegas!!!!

PffhHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHA Yeah right! A number of high powered releases are coming out in the later part of this year. BRUTAL LEGEND, Dantes Inferno ((With that lovely promotion), Just Cause 2, Max Payne 3, Operation Flashpoint 2, Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, Tekken 6, This is Vegas, Tony Hawk: Ride, UNCHARTED 2.
But noooooooooooooooooooo nothing will ever be as popular as ANOTHER Halo game. That was suposed to be an expansion pack. That you are now paying full price for.
No comment on MW2. I looks like it actually might be worth a damn

@ Jack
Don't be surprised if that does happen. :) The PS3 version, I mean.

Who is still shocked that conviction has been delayed AGAIN, at this rate Adam Sessler will be replaces by Adam Sessler Jr who in his 50's

Give Ubisoft a chance. The game may be worth the wait.

What is everyone complaining about we need all these games out now we need to help the economy in one way or another, that and i'm just impatient.

This sucks a great deal but at the same time it'll be easier on our wallets. Right now I have Demon's Souls, Alpha Protocol, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Assassin's Creed II, Ninja Gaiden Sigma II and Dragon Age Origins on preorder, so looking at Splinter Cell's delay is like a blessing in diguise.

Halo 3 ODST, Assassin's Creed 2, and a couple other titles i can't remember right now are all i'm looking forward to the holiday season.

OK, now they can add gore to Red Steel 2 like it was supposed to be instead of selling out. After playing Wii Sports Resort I can just imagine slicing someone's head/arm/body in half with a spray of blood!. A little scary and will probably never happen unless the people behind madworld make something like this.

That's disappointing... but, I'll most likely be hooked on Modern Warfare 2, Uncharted 2, L4D 2, and everything else releasing in the Fall/Holidays 2009, so ultimately, this just means more awesomeness for 2010.

thats gay
xxxhxcxxx
oh great its not like i havent been waiting for i am alive since it was announced in 1942(or so it seems). I dont think splinter cell needed to worry about other games since its a giant franchise. Ghost recon on the other hand died off the last 2 games and needs to be woken up so maybe releasing it in the middle of a period where there arent other major titles will help. but still gay and gayer news.
