Its 100k+ this week and watch dogs is only 60,00+ on PS4

Guess the most hyped game of this gen will be passed by mario kart. YAY

Actually, the most hyped game of the gen was titanfall and well...we all know how that turned out.

But yeah, probably will, on one console.

Why are people comparing a great established franchise that just about all Nintendo gamers will buy to new franchise. Mk8 had more hype and so did titanfall.

You do realize Titanfall is a new IP, right?

Shooters sell decently regardless of it being a new IP.

8 million shipped. It's about 5 million in actual sales throughout all platforms.

Either way, this thread is only talking about the PS4 version, which Mario Kart 8 will beat thanks to its legs and Japan.

Yeah, but only shooters that sell well are the good ones, or the ones from a popular series.

Just like every other genre.

Edit: Read it as "legs in Japan" My bad

So what? As had been mentioned, MK8 is an established multi-multi-million selling franchise and a game that has been eagerly awaited by fans since the Wii U was released. Watchdogs is a new IP that had its hype before release crushed due the visual downgrade rumours and delay. 

Its not exactly an outstanding achievement if MK8 manages to outsell Watchdogs. It'd be like getting hyped over GTA outselling W101, hell just prior to release I think W101 was more hyped by the Nintendo faithful than Watchdogs ever was on either PS4 or XB1. 

I can see MK8 getting ahead of Watchdogs PS4 for a while but then falling back due to the faster growing PS4 userbase. Of course, if Nintendo bundle MK8 or Ubisoft release a Watchdogs 2 within the next 2 years, then MK8 will stay ahead.

WD is not the only game available on ps4.
