Forums - Nintendo - If Watch Dogs Wii U edition pushes over 100,000 FW globally, will Ubisoft and "You all" be happy?

I doubt it will reach 100k fw and even if so, I doubt Ubisoft being happy with that. 250k seems a better position and 350k like a dream.

It is supposedly already at around 25,000 pre-orders, plus my pre- order today for it and MK8. That is without even knowing a Release date!

Who knows what it has in Europe and Japan already for Wii U. Plus we still have 3 weeks to go till it launches on the other systems! Although I am sure some of these 25,000 pre-orders may go away once some start to just play and buy it on those other systems sadly. But....as the game gets closer to the Wii U launch date the pre-orders will pick up again! As long as gamestop advertises it some.

 

Could even possibly get 100,000 FW in AMerica alone.....?

100k alone in America FW? It truly needs a miracle from MK8.

100k FW will be a dream. Do you think is that bad after all delays and excuses?

100k retail only would be a solid debut IMO, but it needs to push ~1 million lifetime for it to be truly worthy. AC4 didn't even come close to it and its an established brand and came out roughly at the same time.

Also, we still don't know just how good the game is. If its not a AAA+ piece of software I doubt that many will remain excited until the end of the year.

I'd be happy with 100K FW. Ubisoft might not be, depending.
I think it'd be lucky to be above 500K by end of 2015.

No, Ubisoft will basically just get a free pass to criticize the WII U further ...

I'd be happy but Ubisoft? I'm not so sure. I hope it does well, I will be purchasing the Wii U version as well as the ps4 version.

I suppose Ubi dont have high expectations for this, then again i doubt it would be costly to port it to Wii U in the first place. Perhaps a few hundred thousand in sales might be good enough to generate a small profit, the success of this game for Ubi rides on the Playstaion and Xbox versions. Those versions are the ones that have had the most money spent in developing and marketing, it would be a pittance what they would lose on a Wii U version compared to what they could lose if it fails on other systems.

100k is way too high, I'm thinking maybe 30k FW?



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

this, 100k first week aint nothing to be proud of for a game like this. Hell i think every other version have more in preorders alone sans PC

If it costs the same as the other versions will cost when the WiiU version releases (other versions will drop in price within months) and therefore would sell for 30 bucks... It might sell well.

if they insist on 60 even tho the other versions are 30 they will fail miserably. They totally know that maybe its what they want so they have an excuse i dunno. I doubt it will be 30.
