Today, Ubisoft released its sales figures for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Sales

Sales for the first quarter of 2014-15 came to €360 million, up 374% (or 386% at constant 

exchange rates) compared with the €76 million recorded for first-quarter 2013-14.

The first quarter sales figure was higher than the target of approximately €310 million 

announced when Ubisoft released its full-year 2013-14 results. 

This performance reflects:

 The success of Watch Dogs, which broke Ubisoft’s and industry’s sales record for,

respectively, the launch of a new game and of a new brand, with over 8 million sell-in

units.

 Strong growth reported in the digital segment, with sales up 149% to €84 million, driven by Watch Dogs, the success of Ubisoft’s Free-to-Play mobile games and the releases of Trials FusionTM, Child of LightTM and Valiant Hearts The Great WarTM.

At E3 2014, media and gamers recognized the high quality of the games presented by Ubisoft as demonstrated by a record number of awards won and a 27% share of views on Youtube. Assassin's Creed Unity® and Far Cry® 4 took first and second place respectively in the Gamespot Trax E3 chart, which also recognized Ubisoft as top publisher.

ves Guillemot, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The success of Watch Dogs and the quality of our games portfolio presented at this year’s E3 highlight our strategic positioning as well as our continuous drive for innovation, and affirm our long-term approach. Watch Dogs is now well positioned as a major franchise and we will be able to replicate and build on its success in the coming years. Its sales performance testifies to Ubisoft’s expertise as a creator of blockbuster brands. That expertise enables us to stand out from our competitors at the beginning of each console cycle and therefore to reach a new dimension. Additionally, Ubisoft created a 

strong impression at the last E3 with titles such as Assassin’s Creed Unity, The Crew, The Division, Far Cry 4, Just Dance Now and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege.”

“Although the financial year has only just started, our confidence for fiscal 2014-15 has been reinforced by our first-quarter performance and the keen anticipation for our upcoming games."

Damn that is a lot of watched dogs out in the wild.

Also Child of Light was mentioned, yay!

dang that game is a monster(could be the next gta O_O)

Congrats for Ubi on the accomplishment.

That amount of shipment after the big first one, means the game is still selling very well.

That's quite impressive. Destiny will overtake it though as the biggest new IP launch of the year.

Well, they are at almost 5M here in VGC, so I think they just shipped enough copies to keep the supply during Black Friday.

I wonder if the 8 million sales include digital sales, anyway, congratz Ubi for the huge achievement with Watch Dogs.
