Among the handful of Ubiscoops about 2010’s releases coming out of today’s investor call, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot brought up the tactical Tom Clancy franchise Ghost Recon. Beyond the already revealed platforms for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, Guillemot detailed the franchise’s further ubiquity, saying the next Ghost Recon game will “be on all platforms: 360, PS3, Wii, PSP, and DS.” He noted that the Wii version of Ghost Recon will “be done by a different team” with a “different approach … created for that Wii population.” Presumably, the game will involve standing on the balance board to approximate a sniper’s breathing — and it’ll also be made up entirely of mini-games. Whoa, whoa — calm down there killer. We’re just joshin’ ya!

He also confirmed something we’ve been mentioning for months now: “There will be more competition in the first eight months than in the last four.” Get your calculators and spreadsheets out, folks — early 2010 is gonna be a bruiser like we’ve never seen before (on our bank accounts, that is).
