“It’s very simple,” Guillemot says. “What we see is that Nintendo customers don’t buy Assassin’s Creed.

That’s down a percentage point from the previous year. Wii sales were still strong in the last fiscal year, making up 11 percent of total software sold, with major strength from the Just Dance franchise.
