No downloadable release of Child for Eden is currently planned, according to Ubisoft’s senior VP of sales and marketing Tony Key.
In an interview with Joystiq, Key explained that the title has simply yet to catch on to the mainstream despite having received “great reviews”.
“It’s a great product, but we didn’t sell as many copies as we hoped, obviously.
“And that’s a shame, because the game is great and deserves recognition. I just think your more mainstream consumer – a lot of the Kinect people are – haven’t quite figured out what that experience is, so we continue to get great reviews and not a lot of sales at retail, but Microsoft saw that as an opportunity, took it and put it in with Kinect.”
He added that while Ubisoft’s business model doesn’t include releasing downloadable titles, it’s possible that Child of Eden could still be offered as a download in the future.
Despite its lack of presence in the downloadable market, Microsoft announced its new Kinect bundle will include a download code for Child of Eden.
