"WatchDogs made the biggest revenue, 5 times as much as MK8, the biggest Nintendo game" That has nothing to do with MK8 being a WiiU exclusive and Watch_Dogs being a multiplatform game obviously!


of course not. We all love Nintendo here.

That dig at MK8 is both senseless and unnecessary.

It's not a dig, it's a highlight


1/5 the revenue from 1/40th(approx) install base, that is quite a highlight indeed.

As for the multiplats on the 3DS while stuff like Fifa14 didn't sell great on it, the Lego movie game and Marvel game both sit in the middle of all systems on the 3ds right in between the ps3/360 and X1/ps4 numbers more or less.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Really? They both came out the same day and are the biggest games on their respective platforms, in other words next gen rivals.

AZWification said: That has nothing to do with MK8 being a WiiU exclusive and Watch_Dogs being a multiplatform game obviously!

But it has everything to do with MK being one of the best-selling franchises in gaming history, while Watchdogs is just a fresh new IP. In other words, it's the challenger : do you deny the challenger the right to fight the champion? Who would have bet on Watchdogs to outsell MK8 by such a huge margin one year ago?

It's not Watchdogs's fault if MK8 isn't multiplatform either. If MK8 is that good, people will buy WiiU to play it. Half of Watchdogs sales are PS4 version btw, so still quite above MK8...



I take it that Tomodachi Life is still haunting someone :P

mario kart overtracked by 70k in Europe.


I think this is as of June 30, VG chartz is in August 23 IIRC. I don't think it is impossible for it to have sold 70.000 in a month and 3 weeks.

A lot of people did! Hence why the WiiU's baseline doubled from 30k to 60k!

This^

Is as if you forget that watchdogs stoped selling winthin a month unlike mariokart. The month we have here is when watchdogs reached its peak but mario kart keepted going to nearly reach it in sales.

This is watchdogs total phycal disc copys sold as of the 23rd of august. http://www.vgchartz.com/game/71547/watch-dogs/

This is mariokart http://www.vgchartz.com/game/71408/mario-kart-8/ 

I know watchdogs will have sold a lot of digital copys but digital is always less then physical so watchdogs total shold sit aroun 4-4.5m, while mario kart 2.58-3m. Ands that considering that its on 1/40 of the install base.

What you should be comparing to is to console exclusives like infamous second son and titanfall, that eve that they where available for much longer, at the time of this chart it almost caought up to them and now it already outsold them.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

What do you mean by the 3ds being a no show? Do you mean no 3ds exclusive game is on there? By this logic there is also no game unique to the Xbox1 or Xbox360. Especially when you consider that 17/20 games listed are multiplatform games.

I overlooked that, true. I was thinking about Yoshi's Island, Kirby, Mario Party, etc. 

I've never seen a 3DS FIFA14 is stores though... I'll have a better look next week. 


It's out there, even the Vita version sells better though. Handheld has probably had a minimalistic impact on sales for any of the games in Europe.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Infamous is lower than what I expected, and no suprise for FIFA on the top
