The CEO of Ubisoft said he’s confident the French videogame publisher will be able to fend off a move by Vivendi to obtain a seat on the company’s board of directors. However, he says, the company is exploring other options – just in case it can’t.

Vivendi, for the past eight months, has steadily been buying shares of Ubisoft – raising its stake to 17.7 percent.

Cumulative sales of the Xbox One and PS4 are more than 40 percent higher than their predecessors after 30 months in the market. Nintendo’s Wii U, though, has largely been a non-factor this generation. Virtual reality is getting lots of media attention, but everyone in the industry warns it will be years before it’s anywhere close to mainstream.
