no they dont. "according to gfk"

gfk  count bundles

bundles for destiny and bundles for watch_dogs

Sony sure mustn't be disappointed with ~half a million consoles they sold in a week thanks to destiny. It not only proved to be a huge system seller, but it also prevented XB1 to sell more than it could. In the end it was good for both consoles, but PS4 sure deserved the huge boost it gave thanks to exclusive marketing campaign.

That's too bad because Watch Dogs is a solid 6.5 at best.

That's a shame as Watch Dogs really didn't deserve the sales it achieved, it was a mediocre game at best. Quite fun at times, but not even close to living up to expectations. However, this comment comes with a disclaimer as I've really soured toward Ubisoft as of late. Their business practices and their games seem to revolve around milking the consumer for all they're worth. The latest season pass trailer advertising DLC well in advance of their next games release really got me.

Wow and Destiny had the advantage of much more advertising. Either way, both had PS4 exclusive advertising and bundles.

I guess Ubisoft was lucky to (maybe) win Europe and not have to artificially carving out of the two games global sales an arbitrary region where WD sold faster, at least for now. Which game got more advertising is quite difficult to tell, both had a lot of it.
Anyhow, both had awesome starts, the rest is just PR.

Good for ubisoft, I hope they improve with the next game in the series, and don't turn in into annual franchise.

Destiny outsold on consoles, but pc is bigger than many people understand. Not launching on pc was dumb for the franchise, but benefitted Sony easily. I still expect Destiny PC early 2015.

Eh, the difference is entirely because of PC (and then some). Should be bigger on next-gen than WD though, in Europe as a whole.

You do know that both WD and Destiny were "sponsored" by Sony, so to say. I don't know why you would mention that as a reason for WD being bigger in Europe.
