4 million... sold-through? Da fuq?
That is insane if true. Not sure Ubi is using the term correctly.
Edit: well, it seems they used NPD and Gfk data so it IS sold to consumers. Yup, insane numbers.

Great, now we'll start getting a new Watch Dog game every year.
Congrats on Ubi's success tho!
Its bittersweet to me :/ good just that a new ip sells so as to encourage others to make more.
Im a worried about publishers starting to use enchanced graphics in their demos because it helped build hype with this title and there wasnt a substantial enough backfire when the final product was released
And BTW, TLOU became the fastest-selling new IP ever last year. Less than a year later, WD breaks the record again (albeit on more platforms).
Goes to show that there is space for successful new IPs in this industry.

There's a difference between sold and sold through When a company says "sold", then you should take that as shipped to retailers (cause that is sold for them) unless they specify otherwise. And one way to specify otherwise is by saying "sold through" which basically means sold to customers. Again, could be a mistake from Ubisofts' PR guys though. |
When Sony said they sold 1 million PS4s in 24 hours, no one interpreted that as "shipped". Same with the WD numbers. No one is saying "Oh, these are shipped numbers." However, with Mario Kart 8 - oh no, of course not. There's no way Nintendo sold that many. Yeah, these numbers are shipped. Yep. Now I can sleep better at night.

Yes, and its for only Home consoles.
So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.
PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.
Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.
Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.
ps4 ww will be more then 50% of the total watch dogs sales

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I'm not saying the game industry is dead. What I'm saying is that games like Watch Dogs show that companies need to go for insanely big numbers in order to be profitable, and like I said, this will mean less games (not counting indie of course) each year |
Now I get what you're trying to say, I was kinda confused because you correlated this to Watch Dogs' sales success. Yeah, games will become more expensive this gen, but I'm positive that there'll still be room for the medium sized games to exist in this market.
