Gameloft make the announcement of the development of A9 in order to raise their stock price, and in turns try to stop Vivendi from becomeing the biggest stockholder of Gameloft. They failed, and Vivendi became the new owner of Gameloft. Before the takeoever, Gameloft had an actual reason to pump out A9, which is to save the company itself, but not after the transition of ownership. The announcement of A9 wasn't completely for marketing.
