Hmm, wonder who will win week 1. Watch_Dogs (PS4) or Mario Kart 8 (WiiU Obviously)?


if these pre-orders give any indication its most probably watch dogs. 

You also have to account for the Japanese market. Mario Kart is DOMINATING in Japan, while Watch Dogs...doesn't come out for another month...hmmm

not sure. PS4 also has a bundle though, but i think just in EU. however, Watch Dogs is already 100K+ over MK in USA, and i think the game is bigger in EU. WiiU is doing horrid over there and PS4 is beasting. so even though if they are pretty much the same launch week in USA, i think EU will win it for WD

If we count EU then we wouldd also count Japan =P

Clear advantage to MK8 their =D

Mario Kart also comes bundled with some WiiUs when it launches though... Im not sure if they would be accounted for here.

I think MK8 could end up getting 300-330K pre-orders and sell 430-500K first week in the US.
