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."

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.

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.

This game didn't live up to the hype it got in my opinion.
