It helped them to delay it too. It would have never hit this number being released in November.

I'm still on the fence about whether to get this game but I always like hearing positive sales news about the industry I love so this makes me happy.

And cosidering how PS4s share in UK was about 50% of Watch_Dogs sales it's probably even higher when you combine whole world...
Not dying, consolidating was the concern.

I'm ok with this
Same here! Wow! Impressive, congrats to Ubi. I really enjoyed the game (even though it wasn't as good as hoped by a lot, it's still a good game IMO)
Well from people who have played it yeah. The gameplay is solid. Problem is how the story is presented. Aiden is just unlikeable.
I mean, I watched an old eurogamer panel for the game and the creative director explained Aiden was inspired by Walter White.
Problem is, Aiden is all Heisenberg, and no Walter.

Thats good to hear, glad its selling well. Already cant wait for the inevitable sequel.
Not necessarily, having bought a game doesn't mean you're happy with it.
As a recent example I bought Infamous Second Son because I wanted something to play with but I was quite disappointed with it.
Watch Dogs isn't really a game which deserves multi million sales, marketing and thirst for new next gen games are making a huge pushing job for it.
I hope that they can make the expected jump in quality with the inevitable sequel.
I would like to spend a moment revisiting this thread:
"Has Watchdogs lost all of its momentum for 2014?"

Amazing number. And so much deserved. I haven't had this much fun with videogame since Sleeping Dogs and Dishonored. Utterly love it and wish I could take vacation just to play it, being at work sucks when Chicago awaits.
Laughed out loud. Thanks for that!

I'm hoping they go the AC route and introduce a new lead.

If we go by the U.K. figures, it's likely that the next gen versions sold the best by a wide margin. Just my own guess, but probably over a million on XB1 and closer to 2m on PS4.

Holy shit. That's really impressive. Wonder what the difference in sales was between last-gen and current -gen.

People just love to hate this game.
I think people just waited a little longer for this game.

They will reach that easily... over 10 million is a matter of when already.
