Watch Dogs tops US retail sales in June

4.7
Ubisoft's Watch Dogs was the top-selling game at physical retail in US in June, according to NPD figures.

The open-world action game beat out Mario Kart 8 and Minecraft (PS3/360 editions), which rounded out the top-three. Notably, FIFA 14 placed fifth the charts, its first top-10 appearance in 2014 no doubt driven by the buzz surrounding the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Console software was up 6 percent in June 2014 over the same period last year, but failed to offset declines in portable software sales, which drove overall physical retail software sales down three per cent from $296.1 million to $286.8 million, according to NPD.

"Sales of launch titles in June 2014 did not compare favorably to those launched in June 2013, which included the PS3 exclusive The Last of Us, along with Nintendo's Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and a retail version of Minecraft for the Xbox 360," noted Callahan.

Here's the full list of top-10 physical retail titles in June:

1)Watch Dogs (PS4, 360, XBO, PS3, PC)
2)Mario Kart 8 (Wii U)
3)Minecraft (360, PS3)
4)UFC (PS4, XBO)
5)FIFA 14 (PS4, 360, XBO, PS3, Vita)
6)NBA 2K14 (360, PS3, PS4, XBO, PC)
7)Wolfenstein: The New Order (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3, PC)
8)Call Of Duty: Ghosts (360, PS4, PS3, XBO, Wii U, PC)
9)Tomodachi Life (3DS)
10)Grand Theft Auto V (360, PS3)

I had a feeling it was going to the Top Sales. Alot of people were looking forward to this game.

This game was honestly a huge disappointment in my eyes. I was hoping the map would be bigger, better graphics, and more hacking options. It can get stale pretty fast. One of the things I thought they did great on was doing the collectables and side missions. If there's one thing they can take from this game to their next game(if their is another watch dogs) it's the side missions and collectables.

Gossip It is good just once you beat it its not that fun anymore.


I second this. There really isn't a lot to do in Watch_Dogs when the main story is beat.
