what benefit to them would it be if they lie about numbers? And considering how many times VGC has been wrong, especially with preorder numbers most are inclined to believe Ubisoft. Hell i didnt even see Watchdog preorders for current gen.

besides remote play microsoft will be able to do the same think with glasspane... i think it is called glasspane? damn :D

but we haven't seen too much good utilizations of the second screen. inventory or map is ok... and even cooler on a tablet than vita or wiiu.

Smartglass. And it's not cooler on a tablet, cause if you're holding your controller, you're not holding your tablet, while both on a Gamepad and a Vita you hold everything in your hands, so Smartglass is actually significantly worse.

That's why I'm cheering Wii U and PS4/PSV combo, I want to see more, as this could really add something. For now - I hope Wii U gamers buy games that utilise these features thus helping them become a new standard.

having seen the footage for current gen watch dogs i can't imagine the next gen versions not outperforming the current gen versions. night and day.

I would think that way if they hadnt tried to sell us the idea that current gen versions are comparable to an Xbox game. The next gen versions obviously cost more so i would think thats why they want to make sure those sell. Basically to justify the investment.

The only reason I pre-order things is because I sometimes don't pay attention to release dates.  I just am browing on Amazon and see something I like and pre-order it.  Then I don't have to think about it again and it shows up on my doorstep on release day or close to.  Heck I've had a book preordered for like a year now, I do that mostly with books cause they are like $10 and easy to forget or miss their releases.  Not exactly advertised.

Rarely pre-order games, for the reason as you stated.  How often is a game out of stock?  ONly happens super rare and usually when dealing with something on Nintendo console, such as Xenoblade, One Piece Unlimited Adventure, DBZ tenkaichi 3, ect.  It's amazing how many stores I had to go to when they were out to even find an employee who had heard of those games, let alone had it.  

but lying about preorders doesnt serve that purpose, but not showing current gen versions and when you do show it they look worst, certaintly do

Not surprising. Though encouraging.

Just think about it. You go in and preorder a PS4, whether or not you colle t it at all. You're gonna preorder at least one other game for it, right? Now, most of the exclusives are either new IPs or wouldn't be exciting for the average gamer, so why not play safe with AC? And Watch Dogs is being heavily pushed, so why not get that as well?

People who preorder the current gen version will start flooding in a few weeks before the launch of the system. And whilst having this right now, it's no question that the current gen versions will outsell the next gen versions, by a healthy margin. So, it's good news, but a chunk of PR on the side IMO.

Its not lying. You dont know exactly wich numbers and under wich circunstances they are referring to. They literally give no information except a bloated "much bigger". Its very easy to twist something into that. Have them reveal the numbers and prove to us what their definition of "much bigger" is.

I still stand by VGC on this. I very much doubt the games will sell more on next gen consoles. Especially Assassins 4. Actually, im pretty sure of it. Watch dogs is more difficult to tell since its a new IP starting with new consoles in mind. Wich is why ubi wants to push this idea so much. I am unsure how much the title is actually gonna manage to sell.

From the preorders people are way more pumped for the third party stuff they can get versions of on current gen than the exclusives. WTF? I guess 1080p and/or 60fps really is a major selling point for people.
