Ubisoft may release franchise titles every 12-18 months
Feb/100
Speaking to GI.biz, Ubisoft’s European Managing Director Alain Corre made it clear that the company plans to begin releasing new iterations of its major franchise titles every 12 to 18 months. Corre noted that his company is working toward the strategy, but stressed that each title “needs to be different enough from the previous SKU to make sure you’re not tiring the franchise or the consumers.” Corre pointed to the Call of Duty series as the best example of consistent releases and consistent quality, saying, “They never compromise on quality, which is exactly what we’re trying to do with our brands now.”
His remarks strike a familiar chord, as Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot shared similar comments during a financial conference call earlier this month. Guillemot then stated the company’s goal of releasing more games more often, though he was careful to say that it still plans to invest in creating better game engines and development tools in order to avoid the franchise fatigue that seems to pervade certain titles.
If any of that translates to more Beyond Good & Evil, we’re all for it.

Happy Valentine’s Day from the game industry!
Feb/100
This past week may have been filled with investor calls and press events, but that doesn’t mean that some members of the game industry weren’t thinking about this weekend’s day of love. Over the course of the past seven days, we were either sent these cards (by email) or found them on the various official sites of said developers/publishers — and now we’ve compiled them into a love-filled gallery just for you. We might suggest you print out one (on high quality paper, of course) and give it to your dearest, but hey, let’s be honest — you should probably buy an actual card. And a copy of Flower. Kasumi demands digital gifts!

Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper vs 360 in NA this March
Jan/100
Adventure game Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper will take a stab at North American retail this March. Released last year in Europe, the console port of the PC game has the fictional detective on the trail of the real-world 19th-century serial killer.
Hey, while we’re messing with fiction, reality, history and time, why not have Holmes team up with Doctor Who and Sam Beckett? He can change history for the better, putting right what once went wrong and bringing Beckett one step closer to his leap home. Actually … that’s not bad. Hands off, video game industry! We’re saving that idea for Joystiq Publishing’s still-looking-for- 2011 release list.

Analysts predict hardware, software drops in February NPD
Mar/100
Analyst Colin Sebastian is guessing at a 15 percent decline, despite encouraging early sales for games like Heavy Rain and preorders for games like Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (which, as an early March release, may fit into the NPD February sales period) and God of War III. The fact that high-profile games are likely to show sharp declines after strong first-week sales will prevent software trends from turning for the better.
