Ubisoft is a company that is best known for the Rayman series, the Tom Clancy series, and even the Petz games. On the Wii, Ubisoft has released Rayman Raving Rabbids and Red Steel. Now both have sold almost a million copies! With Rayman selling 830,000 copies and Red Steel selling 950,000 copies, Ubisoft's sales have increased over 37%!

Publishing giant Ubisoft today announced that it saw a 37.4 percent increase in its fourth quarter sales due to strong sales of TMNT across eight platforms and GRAW2 on Xbox 360. The company's fourth quarter sales beat projections, which is undoubtedly good news to investors, but Nintendo fans will more likely find the following news interesting.

Ubisoft also revealed that its Wii launch titles Rayman Raving Rabbids and Red Steel have respectively sold 830,000 and 950,000 copies around the globe so far. Both are likely to cross the million barrier in the next couple of months. Strong starts to what will surely be two continuing Wii franchises for the publisher.

Last year, Ubisoft posted a want ad seeking a game designer to help on the "... continuation of the Red Steel [sic] project." The ad requested that applicants be experienced with online gameplay.

    Rabbids was a mere shot in the dark due to it tying into a tired series while Red Steel was launch fodder. Ubisoft needs some of its 360 folks over on the Wii development.

    And I heard Red Steel was a horrible game to but still doing so well.

    I didn't think Rayman would of sold so much though.

    I didn't think either of them would have sold very well, seeing as the reviews for Red Steel were terrible and Raving Rabbids was just... out there. But still, Ubisoft does kick ass soo, I can see them both getting to the million.
