It certainly has the hype to do so and is on enough systems.

6.3 million in how much time?

 

[Mrbob]

It is the number one preordered game on PS4 looking at all the charts. Game is on 6 platforms. UBI is low balling expectations.

 

[Wildstar75]

If they deliver the game they have made it out to be. I think this number is a safe estimate.

Regarding the size of the map. Creative Director Jonathan Morin is a passionate and awesome guy, who always has time to talk with the fans.

Tweeted me this regarding a photo of the map.

what platform you guys going for? personally i've pre ordered it for my microwave

was a tough choice between that and my iron let me tell ya

 

[Alrus]

Not that crazy of a goal, the first Assassin's Creed did better than that.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Easy, and Ubigod deserves.

PC version here.

To reach that target they better deliver on graphics or else.....

lol

 

[witchedwiz]

it has 5 platform..
it can..
but it's a HIGH target all things considered..

 

[M3d10n]

After how many Steam sales?

 

[cdwjustin]

just enough to break even... or so it seems like with budgets these days

 

[TGO]

with PS3/360/Wii U and PS4/PC/Xbone I can see that happening, 3-4 million across nextgen easy

 

[shinobi602]

After how many Steam sales?

None.

For next gen versions, yes i agree.

 

[ButchCat]

Let's look at the holiday's lineup this year. Watch Dogs is the freshest AAA game in the mix especially when looking at the next gen launch titles, plus it's open world. I see it easily surpassing 6 million.

 

[Gadirok]

It probably will, but I won't add to that number until it hits the $20 bin like most Ubisoft titles do 3 months after they launch.

Have games that sell multiple millions traditionally had super high-end graphics?

I don't know sales numbers but I seem to recall Battlefield 3, Crysis, and Diablo 3 were in the multiple millions. Two of those were high end. CoD games of course sell really well, and I'd say those aren't typically as high end.

I'm not convinced that the graphics necessarily correlate to sales, though later on with the PS4 and XBox1 maybe that will be more the case.
