I think 200k lifetime is a respectable number at this point, especially considering the other versions will be around half the price by the time it launches on Wii U. A port doesn't need to sell as well as a lead version to make profit. If the game reviews well, I will get it. If not, I may pass. Either way, I'm not getting it within the first month. I've learned my lesson on buying Ubi games too early.


Im saying I hope it sells like 200k early in its life. Lifetime I say 1m. 200k in a week or two would be great.

Lol. No one thinks that way. If they see huge sales they will not think about how ok it was to release it late. They will think about how many sales are lost because they didn't release earlier.


Thats how consumers think and thats what I think as well but lets go back a little. Companies did not used to make patches every now and then to fix a game but now they do it. How about DLC? No company used to make on disc DLC or Pre Order DLC but now they do it because they saw it bring money. One company can infect tons of others.

No company in this world wants their products to be late. Ubisoft didn't want WD to be late on WiiU. It was a necessary and feasible compromise at the time. If the sales are good they will put more effort into releasing the next game on time.

No company will copy uneconomical decisions of another company.

DLC and unfinished games are very good for business, thats why everyone is doing it.

They kind of did actually. They had 2 choices: Delay all versions of the game to finish them all at once, or focus on the other versions and pretty much send the Wii U version to die.

They delayed Rayman Legends Wii U to finish other versions. But they delayed Wii U to finish other versions first. So why didnt they release Rayman Legends U first and then released the others. You know whats funny is that the Wii U version sold the second best losing only to a console with 10 times the install base. It beat out the PS4 and XB1 versions. 

Believe it or not, a lot of people wanted the Wii U version of Watch Dogs but not anymore because either they have it, are not interested, or got pushed away because of reviews. Ubidoft shouldnt have delayed it. Delay all versions for another month but finish them on time. They could have really had a hit with Watch Dogs U.

Anyone with a PS3/4 X360/1 will not buy this. I would wager that makes up less than %10 of U owners.

I have a PS3, I am waiting for the Wii U version, so that makes me no-one? :(



lol, you have nothing to worry about. It's going to sell like dog poop.

At least the Assassin's Creed games on the Wii U launched roughly at the same time as the other versions, most of the Watch Dogs audience has already played the game by now.

I will not award a comapany which treats me like i am a second class gamer!!! they should have waited to release the other versions so that they could have released all on the same day, just like what they did with Rayman Legends!!! I will not support those practices, and there are alot other games besides Ubisoft games that i can purchase in the future!!! EA and Ubisoft is dead for me!!!

LOL, Im not sure why you would buy the U($60) version if you can buy the Sony version for much cheaper. Ive seen Sony and MS versions of WD for $30 -$40 and the PC version for $20. I can understand waiting(to see if the U version is superior) but if you find out the PS3 version is superior(probably looks better, will have all DLC and a larger community), will you still buy the U version?



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

I am surprised Ubisoft hasn't cancelled the damn WiiU version by now!

If WD sells very well on the WiiU, then I dont think Ubisoft will keep on delaying games on the system like thats the key to its success.lol



Yea... I mean I want 3rd party support, but definitely not this kind. Besides the game is already being labeled overhyped and underwhelming.
