It's more likely, that they go for more titles in seemingly smaller segments, which - as they see with that snowboarding title - can generate a lot of sales.

I will be a supporter of any merger or deal from Ubisoft and 2k to remain in contention in the sports game market. I can speak for many people that we do not want one company making average sports licensed games......now and into the future.

Yeah, I don't think so. I love Ubi's games (Splinter Cell and the GRAW series' are awesome) but I am not feeling Ubi in the sports market.... If they purchase 2K and keep the developers, what really is going to change? Sam Fisher at Power Forward? Yeah, I don't think so. I love Ubi's games (Splinter Cell and the GRAW series' are awesome) but I am not feeling Ubi in the sports market….

I feel like EA is just trying to sell something same 3 or 4 times, but Ubisoft is always changing, the titles of the same frenchise (Rainbox 6, Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia) always shows something new, it doest fell like the same old "foxskin". Plus now their PC games are being released for a reduced price, around 30 dollars. I feel like Ubisoft gives more freedom and time to the dev team, its like more about the creativity and art, and less about the money. But anyway, I could not imagine, 2k sports would go to Ubisoft, 2k sports develops american sports game, and Ubisoft is basicly an european company.
