Damn, huge numbers. I look forward to Watch Dogs 2 in about 6 months time then.

I wonder what the percentage of sales is for PS4 version? Sony was smart to partner with Ubi on this one.
I guess. I've just seen a lot of spliced together videos of some glitches and nitpicks, and the comments of those videos are typically. "Ha,ha this game is shit".
But as I said, really enjoying playing the game. Problem is the story detracted so much from me.
I'm cautiously okay with it.
Harsh?, its their first try at a GTA like situation
I never really got people doubting that one.
This had huge hit written all over it, and honestly the delay put it in a timing window where it had basically no same-tier competition for months on either side.
Pretty much.

I wonder if that means the PS4 version is at least 2 million sold alone.

Probably around 50%. We already saw that it was near that figure in the UK (49%).

Probably close. Was by far the most advertised version.
This would benefit them tremendously. I hope they do this. I'm not particularly interested in either AC or Watch_Dogs, but they should alternate with them every year. Maybe even get a 3rd franchise in there (Far Cry?), and space everything out. That would give them a big AAA franchise every holiday plus avoid fatigue. Doubt Ubi would do this though.
Still, great sales for the game, I'm impressed
Thanks!

Ubisoft really is step ahead of other big publishers. It's pretty mindblowing how small amount of games we get during this time of the year.
Not to mention the extreme vitriol it got even towards the end. So many positive reviews met with people picking them apart to try and paint the review as misguided, in order to make the game look worse. Lord knows how much crow this game has served up.

Can't wait to see how much Watch Dogs 2 and Watch Dogs: Revelations sell when they launch on January and February respectively.
The thirst for games is real it seems. It's benefiting hugely from being released during launch window, Ubisoft got it spot on.
I interested in seeing how Destiny does. Will it benefit from the summer gaming drought leading to massive first week sales as well? I'm looking forward to finding out.

I knew this game would be huge. The core may not have been too entusiastic but this game was always going to hit it big with the mainstream. Destiny will be even bigger
PS4 version must have sold a ton. Sony really struck gold getting in on the marketing

Great numbers. Hopefully they get a move on fixing the game breaking bugs and making the drinking game in Pawnee easier, for my sanity.

I've been enjoying it so much, I decided to do something rare and buy the Season's Pass. Here's hoping they deliver on the already great game they have shipped.

The next-gen consoles versions account for 70% of UK sales, cross-gen will be over by Christmas.
I don't like GTA. Only bought it because of hype. Haven't played more than a couple of hours. Just don't enjoy anything at all about it.
But like I said, I'm happy it has done well

I might wait for a price drop after hearing the PC version is still a mess. I bought it on PS4 but returned it because I didnt know if I could deal with 900p/30 when I have an elite PC that can do ~60FPS and 1080p
That 3rd franchise has to be The Division
Farcry IMO deserves a huge break, the new one coming so fast after farcry 3 just looks so bad, if anything we needer a full blown Blood Dragon sequel before Farcry 3.

4 million already and that without the Wii U version
I had little no doubt it was going to be a success, another thing is if it had only been released for old-gen systems.
For example, in the UK the next-gen versions accounted for 76% of its sales.
Yup, and the PS4 alone was 49% of total sales in the UK. It probably did incredibly well

Incredible for a new IP. Congrats to Ubi.
