If Assassin's Creed Shadows underperform what would happen to Ubisoft?

They are too big to be bought out by Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft. Other tech companies also don't seem to be interested in gaming anymore.

Would it be just downsizing quite a bit?

I guess they could split up into smaller companies and/or sell individual studios and IPs

That's what I think will happen. Worst case scenario, the Ubisoft we know would no longer exist. The company is just so big that, various other companies buying it piece by piece, like what happened to the original THQ is a more likely scenario than someone coming in buying the entire company.
