So i did the math and Watch Dogs did around 3.1 million, showing on VGCHARTZ. Thats 900,000 less then what Ubisoft said. Nintendo said 1.2 million and I added them up and combined it was just under 1.1 million. So how can one company be so far off. I can see a couple of hundred thousand off because of downloadable software and other countries not tracked but almost a million off? In the words of Chris Carter C'MON MAAAAAAN! !!!!

Digital sales? Especially PC which would have easily been a couple 100k sold digitally.


That is what i mean even with those downloads and looking at the sells logically U.S.  could of been around 300 thousand combinded on that and EU maybe another 100 still short  500, 000

VGchartz doesn't track digital sales which is very strong on PS4/PS3/X360/Xone and specially PC.

 

WiiU probably don't have strong digital sales yet.

Are you sure your math is correct? I have USA + Europe totaling 3.2 million according to VGC. Probably not much more, but we still have to account Canada, Latin America and a few other non-European territories, along with significant PC downloads and surely a fair share of console digital downloads.

I believe that the 4 million is correct, because I think you are underestimating the PC sales, and of course Nintendo is much closer to that number because they sell only on one platform, and most of the sales were either physical or bundled download codes which are tracked on VGC.



PS4 is getting to a different level with these numbers and plus Watch Dogs as a franchise. Ubisoft is actually having the last laugh after all that delay and downgrade buzz.

The Wii U is raaaaaaaaaping so hard right now.

PS4 sales seem a little ridiculous though.


PS4 overtracked as hell.

X1 undertracked.


So what I'm getting here is that you'll believe any source as long as it tells you what you believe in your heart, and then if no sources tell you that then they must all be wrong.
