Word of mouth is insane. Had people walking in all day saying their friends say its awesome and want to get it.

Ubi has a winner on their hands folks.

I wonder what kind of hardware boost it'll provide for the 7th and 8th gen consoles, if the software is anything to go by; it could give a nice boost! Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Ha, people were trying to hate on this game so hard. I'm glad its selling well!

Glad to see it doing well. I'm not that interested in it honestly, but the hate bandwagon was annoying.

Might pick it up in a few weeks depending on what my friends think of it, good for Ubisoft. :)

Assassin's Creed 3 sold over three million the first week of its release. So Watch Dogs sold more than three million?

Week 1 =/= Day 1

And, not factoring in WiiU because AC3 and Black Flag sold like trash on it and WD being delayed on WiiU to boot, Watch_Dogs is on 4 home consoles instead of 2, like the majority of prior AC games, so even if it did beat out any prior Ubi game day 1 or week 1, it's not that impressive given the 2 years of hype and greater install base to sell to. You can see with the huge drop off in sales from Black Flag (compared to 3 and 2 before it, even being on 4 platforms) that people are burnt out on Assassin's Creed games (just in time for when they announced it as an annual franchise too. That outghta teach them a lesson).

isnt it just sad that lying to consumers to build hype and then having an embargo stop reviewers tell us how the game truly is seems to be a great way to sell games... well at least its still no Coloniel Marines =P


Exactly what did they lie about?

Review embargos are common. Most games have them until the day of release.
