Forums - Gaming Discussion - When Mario Kart 8 outsell Watch_Dogs (PS4)?

DonFerrari on 11 July 2014

Ubisoft reported 8M shipped for WD so I think we are really undertracked. Haven't Ps4 accounted for 40% of sales? Só that is 3.2M shipped and quite possibly over 2.5M sold.
Regarding digital I'm certain the percentage of digital over total is bigger on ps4 games than on WiiU for all the reports we have, so when citting it don't do it in favor of the U.
And they may finish tyed which would be an accomplishment for a new IP that is even competing with itself on other platforms compared to the WiiU saviour.

Why are we comparing sales of a game that split across multiple platforms to an exclusive?

We are not. We are comparing MK8 to the PS4 version of WD.

remember dear drake tolu,nintendo announce tha mario kart have already sold over 2 million, so it might have already outsell watchdogs...unless watchdogs is undertracked too!


But didn't they included digital too?


200.000 digital sales on a nintendo console, so naive x)

Wasn't it shipped, not sold ?

It yes, watch dogs is also undertracked as VGC doesn't track digital sales

To be fair, watch dogs is a marketing exclusive on ps4.

Isn't it all about mario kart 8  becoming the most sold game of the year on one console3.

Looking at Ubisofts breakdown it's mainly the pc version that is undertracked: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=186614

Ubisoft has both the PC and X360 at 14%, sales on VGChartz:

PC:        170k

X360:   720k

So the PC version is undertracked by atleast half a million.

PS4 is at 36% by the way, so that looks spot on.
