Anno 1800 was released early in the Q while I don't believe there were any major releases on consoles.
lol. This isn't what you should take from this.
Yves is on record saying that the decision to move their games to EGS was because they know the storefront is extremely unpopular and it drives customers directly to uPlay instead (where they get 100%).
Wasn't that released in Q4? I believe this's referring to the the fiscal year. The majority of sales took place in that Q not this one.

I believe Q1 of the fiscal year is April-June.The Division was released at the end of March, still in Q1.
The chart is about Q1 of this fiscal year, so Q1 2019 (January - March 2019)
Click the link, The Division 2 is indeed included in the fiscal report.
Today, Ubisoft released its sales figures for the first quarter of fiscal 2019-20, i.e. the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Ubisoft has reported financials for its first quarter of the fiscal year, and it looks like the publisher's increased focus on "the PC opportunity" is paying off. Ubisoft has beat its targets for the quarter, and its biggest platform for the period was PC, a segment which expanded year-over-year to overtake the consoles in Ubisoft's portfolio.
Continued performance from Rainbow Six Siege and Assassin's Creed Odyssey are noted as the biggest factors in beating the quarterly target. The first quarter of the financial year for Ubisoft runs from April through June, during which Ubisoft's only major new release was Anno 1800 – a PC exclusive – and in a post-report conference call (noted by Dom on Twitter), the company attributes PC growth to both Anno and continued performance from other games.
Ubisoft saw 34% of its net bookings on PC for the quarter, up 10% from the platform's share a year ago. That puts PlayStation 4 in second place at 31%, followed by Xbox One at 18%, mobile at 7%, Switch at 5%, and 'others' at 5%.
I mean, EGS is one of the biggest reasons for this. They lured Ubisoft over to their store, so now with how deep the discounts get for Uplay keys, most people are buying Ubisoft's games on Uplay.
Also, I'd like to see population comparisons for Rainbow 6 Siege on PC vs console. Someone on Reddit tried to convince me it's more popular on PS4.
They better give the next gen sequel the mother of all budgets and heavily invest in better online hit detection and severs.
So you mean the re-release because they already said there wouldn't be a Siege 2.They better give the next gen sequel the mother of all budgets and heavily invest in better online hit detection and severs.

There will be a sequel eventually. It will be Re released on ps5 but I'd guess 4/5 years from now we'll have a siege 2.GaaS games tend not to get sequels. It's more profitable to release updates and MTX to an existing game than create a new one. At least until the playable numbers get too small. Then maybe they'll think of a sequel. But that could be years from now.
So it was Denuvo that saved PC gaming.Yo, we came along way from sailing.
PC gaming has "around a 93-95% piracy rate" claims Ubisoft CEO
Indeed. PC was also number one in FY Q4 2018, which surprised me as it was the quarter The Division 2 released in. I would've expected PS4 to lead but it seems TD2 did exceptionally well on PC.Anno 1800 was released early in the Q while I don't believe there were any major releases on consoles.

I wonder what the sales are like per title, with things like copies sold, DLC and microtransactions?
decent boost for switch
