Ubisoft CEO  Yves Guillemot and CFO Alain Martinez during a call to investors discussed the success of the Nintendo Switch. 

Martinez said the company is "very pleased" with the sales of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, which was the best-selling third party title on the Switch in 2017.  He added that with the continued success of the Switch the game should have long legs and keep selling. 


Ubisoft is the "clear third party leader" on the Switch, according to Martinez. Ubisoft plans to continue to expand the "great ten-year-plus relationship with Nintendo."

Ubi Soft supported the Wii-U better then most and that nintendo gave them their IP to work with is smart, because they will support the switch better then most now.

Far cry 3 classic edition would be a nice fit on switch, it's my favourite far cry game and the game shouldn't be that demanding

Good for them, but aint buying the game. I am not interested in most of Ub's game except Tom Clancy franchise. I play rainbow six on PC but if they can bring next Splinter Cell to Switch, I will consider it.
