I could see potentially games releasing this time of the year now (in terms of big AAA releases) considering how successfull this game did at this time of the year. I bet other Publishers are taking note.
We always get new IP's at the beginning of a generation. The new IP's end up as the franchises for the new generation. By 2016 we'll probably be back to stagnation.
But watch dogs mp is inspired by the souls game, so does it have soul?
Hopefully Ubisoft is looking closely at the next gen/last gen console splits. In the UK, 76% of all sales were on next gen. Watch Dogs 2 really needs to be next gen only.
what's great about this is it gives pubs more incentive to push new IP.
Nice, congrats to the team. I'm enjoying it.
More Pubs NEED to take note. Even after WD this summer is still pretty dry. What do we have? Destiny Beta? UFC? TLOU:R
More AAA games need to be released in the Summer months. Not many, but 2-3 good AAA games. Probably a new IP would do well this time of year.
Someone PLEASE tell me there's a gif with the trippy flower game.
It isn't called Watch_Souls, so no, not possible.
The Mario Kart numbers certainly seem less impressive now.Which game sells more, Watch Dogs or Mario Kart 8?
Haha so much for being banned.
Interesting.Their target was 6.3 million lifetime.
Considering the games budget was around 68,000,000 I think they have already turned a profit.

It's a great game, they deserve it.
I just hope they don't turn this into a yearly franchise. Maybe one very two years or three. It would prevent some stagnation like it happened to Assassins Creed.
Of course this is the AAA gaming business so expect yearly updates with minimal upgrades.
0_0 is this really you bro? My god you were missed man lolNice, congrats to the team. I'm enjoying it.
And the upcoming Wii U release will add dozens more.
Man, you are just against anything non-Nintendo, aren't you.congrats on the marketing department.

FYI, the $68m number was pre-delay. I'm not sure how much extra went into the marketing and development costs from that point on.If that is including marketing then they definitely made a profit already.

Good job, people.
So how does it feel?
A fine 5 course meal?
Or Mickey fucking D's?
I wonder what is the version breakdown.
This is what Yves Guillemot is doing right now.
UK first week sales breakdown:
PS4 (49%)
Xbox One (27%)
Xbox 360 (13%)
PS3 (9%)
Am I the only one thinking we won't see Watchdogs 2 until 2016?

That Destiny budget seems even more insane when you see a 68 million for Watch_Dogs.
I don't believe the Destiny budget for a second, not unless its for multiple games in the series, covers all the future DLC etc.
