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.


Not to mention their are a few million more PS4 owners to sell Watch_Dogs to, and less AAA games out for it right now, therefore less competition.

Well big games usually have good legs so um yeah. (Usually, not always)


But Nintendo in particular tends to make games with very attractive legs. ;)


I think it boils down to choice on the system as well.


If you spent less time evangelizing Sony and more time enjoying yourself around here, you might have gotten the joke...

I'm really excited to see if Mario Kart 8 managed to significantly increase the Wii U's baseline (I know VGChartz says it has, but just waiting for NPD). Would be nice to have it on par with Xbox One sales. On a somewhat unrelated note: I always find calling games that sell well having nice legs hilarious while still being a good metaphor; I always just picture the game boxes with runway model legs xD



Current Consoles: Gaming PC, Wii U, 3DS

this game will be in the 90ks for 2 weeks then 80ks for 2 weeks then it should drop a little more because of no free game

It's Mario Kart. This was expected, no?


Expected that the only interesting game on WiiU would sell.

Moderated,

How? It'd be like bringing DK: Tropical Freeze or Pikmin 3 as the comparison for exclusives. It's cherry picking.
