Ubisoft has just announced that Watch Dogs, which launched on Tuesday of this week, has become the publisher’s number one best selling day one title in company history and has outdone games of the Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry series.
Ubisoft also set a 6 Million units sales goal for the new IP which would set it along the same lines as the original Assassin’s Creed.
Ubisoft’s co-founder and CEO Yves Guillemot weighed in on Watch Dogs’ early success, saying, “Watch Dogs is an amazing achievement and our teams should be proud that the creativity, innovation and long hours they invested in making this game are paying off. It’s great to see so many players enjoying the game, and it shows that Watch Dogs has cracked the code for developing a new blockbuster IP and a thoroughly new-gen experience.”
We can’t wait to play it, despite some technical issues on the PC, which have been reported.
