I don't know if Mk8 launch is worldwide but if not, only the ps4 version of watch dogs can outsell it. Forget the 5 or 6 platforms thing, doesn't matter.

yes, it will have a worldwide release in the same week. No, watch dogs on a single platform has no shot of outselling MK 8 first week, only the combination of several versions will cause that.

Yeah, then is likely MK8>Watch Dogs PS4, but seeing the preorder numbers here looks like is gonna be close. Japan should give Mk the victory.

So Mario Kart 8 should be number two or one then that week?

All platforms combined WD will win by a mille. If we count only PS4 version I have my doubts, I do think it has a chance to outsell MK8 but let's say won't do it.

I just realized both come out about the same time. It was probably Nintendo who told them to move the Wii U date.....

I say Watch Dogs will dominate, plus its on more than one system. There has been a lot of marketing for it in America as well. More than MK8 even.

Yeah Nintendo probably told Ubisoft not to release a major 3rd party title on the WiiU when the system is in dire need of more games. Makes sense.

Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

It actually does make sense. If a GTA game ever did come to a Nintendo console, would Nintendo want it to release near Zelda or Mario?

Yes, I should've pointed that out. They're based on preorders. I'm no expert.

Ubisoft has sold a total of around 73 million games right?

The last Mario Kart console game alone sold around 30 million right?

Don't mix up initial hype for watchdogs with long legs.
