Games Thirst – Amazing Life
Ubisoft is expecting its popular unreleased title Watch Dogs to sell no less than 6.2 million units across current and next-gen platforms.
Speaking in a sales call yesterday, the publisher said it initially estimated that the game would sell slightly below the original Assassin’s Creed 6.2 million, but after the thunderous reception the hacking title received at E3 2012, those estimates were readjusted.
“What is true is that three months ago when we announced our results, we were kind of referencing that we, in our plan, we had built up Watch Dogs with expectation slightly below what Assassin’s Creed 1 did when it was first released–and it was 6.2 million,” a Ubisoft director said. “So after E3, what we said today was that we do feel that we can expect…slightly above the 6.2 million that Assassin’s Creed did.”
Watch Dogs will release later this year on PS3, Xbox 360, PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
