The PS4 on top is no surprise but PC in second by a comfortable margin is probably a shock for many.  Unlike EA, does Ubisoft even have a lot of PC-heavy franchises?  Will the Xbox One make a comeback during the holiday season?

Sons of bitches! If they're making so much money from PC gamers, why are their ports always garbage?

That's a darn good question.  20% is a good sized chunk of money.

Nintendo's 3%.

It seems that all major publishers have the PS4 being the main moneymaker.

Well, you'd think that PC would lead due to the install base vs. the PS4.

They must have some F2P cash cow that I don't know about, or something. It just blows my mind that their "core" franchises could possibly be pulling in that much dough on PC alone.
