Watch Dogs ships 8 million copies

4.5
Ubisoft has shipped 8 million copies of Watch Dogs since the game's launch in May, the company announced in its Q1 2014 – 2015 financial report.

Sales for the quarter were above expectations, hitting €360 million of an expected €310 million, and that's thanks in large part to Watch Dogs, Ubisoft says. In its first week at retail, Watch Dogs sales hit 4 million, making it Ubisoft's "best-selling game ever in week one." It also broke the publisher's day-one sales records.

"The success of Watch Dogs and the quality of our games portfolio presented at this year's E3 highlight our strategic positioning as well as our continuous drive for innovation, and affirm our long-term approach," Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said in today's report. "Watch Dogs is now well-positioned as a major franchise and we will be able to replicate and build on its success in the coming years. Its sales performance testifies to Ubisoft's expertise as a creator of blockbuster brands."

There was so much hype when this game first came out and all my friends urged me to get it, but I didn't and I am so glad. The game has really died down and nobody seems to be "talking" about it anymore. I personally played the game a little while and it reminded me too much of GTA, it really has the same overall objective and gameplay type.

Same as titanfall. Fun at first, boring after a while.

Game didn't live up to the hype...

Yoke I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this was a very disappointing game... i finished it and returned it.


How could you say that, Yoke? I felt that this game wasn't as great as the hype, but it was still a great game non the less!

I was wondering whether this game was any good but obviously not haha
and I thought it would get a lot of copied sold considering how many people were talking about it

Activated Must be a good game then if they sold 8 million copies, just a pity I don't have it yet :(


Shipping 8 million copies doesn't mean they sold 8 million.


I don't necessarily like the game
