Ubisoft moves 1 million Imagine unitz

[R.O.B.]

Ubisoft is adding on to its enormous acquisition war chest, and the Imagine series is bringing the duckets: The company just hit the 1 million mark on its casual series for 2008. Speaking with CasualGaming.biz, Ubisoft group brand manager Sgt. Mark Slaughter said, "The Imagine series and the broader Games For Everyone portfolio now represent a significant part of Ubisoft's business."

That makes a lot of sense, considering the company sold nearly 300k "unitz" of Imagine titles in just the four weeks leading up to Christmas (with Imagine Teacher and Imagine Dream Weddings heading up the sales spike, obviously). Who knows what'll happen when blockbuster Imagine "gamez" like Imagine Fashion Designer New York make it to Europe? Ubisoft uber alles!

(UPDATE: We've contacted Ubisoft to confirm whether these figures pertain to all regions. Ubisoft has informed us that the Imagine series is currently at 8 million sales worldwide and we will update tomorrow with clarification of Mr. Slaughter's statement.)

And yet Winter can't even find a publisher...

I haven't bought an Ubisoft game since RedSteel, and I returned that.

This is sickening. Though in a way, I'm not that surprised. Sadly.

I can imagine these games are bought by clueless parents as gifts to there children who know better
