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."

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.

Bebe_Rexha Quite a lot of copies, but I sold mine about 2 weeks ago. Once you complete the story, there's not much to do :/


My friend and I beat the game and got most of the achievements.

They didn't put a lot to do in this game, so I agree with you man.

For an over-hyped game, it disappointed me.

xTriickz It's an awesome game. One of the best story's I've played. They could have improved a lot of things, but overall extremely good.


Couldn't agree more with you , i hope they improve on the games multiplayer and make it more like gta 5's multiplayer


So not fulfill anything they've promised us.....

Xbox_One I think the mechanics of the game were really bad and the story was very good but felt like I was doing the same mission over and over again just a different way.



Yeah I had the same feeling I felt like the game could have been better.


i agree also i hope they make another one it was a really fun game, and hope they also improve on all of the games errors

Polygon Hmm, not too bad.
Still yet to play the game.


I am in the same boat as you, I have heard mixed opinions on this game. However, most of those have been good.
