Ubisoft announces (Adobe Acrobat format) third quarter 2014-15 sales, saying they achieved record sales of €809.7 million. This exceeds their projections, and they've increased their forecast for the year accordingly. Here are the highlights:

The third-quarter sales figure was higher than the target of approximately €730 million
