You cannot compare Watch Dogs PS4 against Mario Kart WiiU since sales of Watch Dogs are spread over multiple systems. It would have sold way more on the PS4 if it was a PS4 exclusive.

They're over the same sales week, and PS4 didn't come out with any exclusive at the time, so it's the best thing we can use for a comparison. And I'd say it would have sold worse, since Ubisoft wouldn't have been able to do the 2012 E3 presentation to make people overhyped about the game graphically if it was only on PS4 and not PC.

That is very good! Wii U sales compete Xbox1 and they will pass them :)

I love how Mario Kart 8 on Wii U beats AAA games on PS4 and XB1 it's great

One AAA game outsells another tripple AAA game? :o I'm shocked!

Mario Kart 8 is a AAA game for a dead console, ya know. :P

They could still have done that and released it on the PS4 only. Every game is built on a PC after all. It'll probably have sold 4M-5M on the PS4 if it was exclusive.

That seems a tad disingenuous, and I don't think it would have sold that much. I think it's a matter we'll just agree to disagree on.
