PlayStation 4 counted for the vast majority of physical copies and helped the PS4 itself to a 94 per cent increase in hardware sales over last week

So is the bundle counted with the physical copies or seperate?

 

[T.O.P]

Enjoying the game a lot, pretty happy

 

[Acquiescence]

The power of Christy Mack.

I don't get it.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Hopefully publishers will make more original games instead of sequels and spin-offs.

From the PAL thread

May 2011 Individual Format Top Ten (90%)

01. [360] LA Noire (Take-Two) 224,000

Week 21: -43%

Week 20 = 246,000

x 1.58 =

Watch Dogs = 388,000

PS4 version = 49% of total sales. .

[Man]

PS4 version = 49% of total sales. .

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/465547/uk-chart-watch-dogs-sets-new-ip-sales-record/

Holy shit.

 

[Loudninja]

PS4 version = 49% of total sales. .

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/465547/uk-chart-watch-dogs-sets-new-ip-sales-record/

Wow almost 50% on one platform.

 

[kinoki]

PS4 version = 49% of total sales. .

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/465547/uk-chart-watch-dogs-sets-new-ip-sales-record/

Almost a 2:1 ratio with Xbone (27%). Damn, Watch_Dogs (and soon Destiny) will really be the system sellers that PS4 needs.

 

[RedAssedApe]

I don't get it.

the punk girl apparently looks like some porn actress

 

[Daemul]

"Vast majority of sales" is 49%? "More than double" is 58%?

Someone is trolling.

 

[Dunkers92]

PS4 version = 49% of total sales. .

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/465547/uk-chart-watch-dogs-sets-new-ip-sales-record/

Wow. Really makes me interested in the split for Destiny when it comes out

 

[DieH@rd]

WD 1st week in UK
PS4 49%
Xbone 27%
X360 13%
PS3 9%

 

[1st Course]

So Mario Kart 8 = (min) 50,440 - 104,760 (max)

 

[Philippo]

94% increase in sold Ps4? Goddayum. Those NPD are going to be a slaughter.
And then Destiny? No wonder people says Ps4 doesn't need exclusive comes to sell well this year.

 

[Jack cw]

So Watch_Dogs PS4 bundling did more for that platform than Titanfall XB1 bundling did for its platform?

Apparently yes.
I bought it Day1 even though the anticlimatic attitude from this board against the game got my expectations really low but GAF was so wrong about this game. Its absolutely fun and well done.

The moneyhat cost for MS's third party exclusive just went up.

 

[Waluigilicious]

come on... look at the install base for X360 and PS3 in the UK.. and then look at the Wii-U numbers..

Sorry, I can't give you this one. The PS4 and XB1 versions of Watch Dogs, a multiplatform game, has outsold Mario Kart 8, the biggest Wii U exclusive, and has also outsold the 360 and PS3 versions of Watch Dogs. Even if Mario Kart 8 individually outsold all Watch Dogs versions, it still wouldn't have been that impressive since you're dividing sales by 4, but yes it would have been a little more impressive at least.

Games like FIFA and COD are outselling stuff like Super Mario 3D World on every console they are releasing on.

 

[dead monkey uk]

WD 1st week in UK
PS4 49%
Xbone 27%
X360 13%
PS3 9%

Looks like MS will not be able to use their 'Watch Dogs sold best on Xbox platforms' PR statement

 

[Wolves Evolve]

WD 1st week in UK
PS4 49%
Xbone 27%
X360 13%
PS3 9%

Look at that. Fuck. I had NO idea this game was going to dominate on one platform like this, even in the UK. That's exactly the sort of shit we used to see in 2007 for the X360 (obviously not in the UK.) but 50% on a big title .... is definitely 'status report meeting' time.

 

[noobie]

So Watch_Dogs PS4 bundling did more for that platform than Titanfall XB1 bundling did for its platform?

Wish we can get PS4 hardware sales number too.

 

[Hanmik]

Looks like MS will not be able to use their 'Watch Dogs sold best on Xbox platforms' PR statement

It will be "The xbox one version of Watch_Dogs is the best selling game on a console from the Microsoft family"

 

[Shiggy]

But new IPs don't sell, I often hear in Nintendo threads.

 

[GlamFM]

WD 1st week in UK
PS4 49%
Xbone 27%
X360 13%
PS3 9%

Time to fucking give up last gen.

 

[Carbonox]

Despite the delay and other issues, the game was always going to be a major hit I think. No way was it going to lose so many interested folks due to said issues that it would be anything other than a success.

Still, it's a good game so I'm happy for UbiSoft. In a couple of months they will get another hit out of the gates with Assassin's Creed Unity. Then there is the PS3/360 one and Far Cry 4.

Must feel good for them. :lol

 

[Mpl90]

So...

Watch Dogs PS4 (49%) - 190,120
Watch Dogs One (27%) - 104,760
Watch Dogs 360 (13%) - 50,440
Watch Dogs PS3 (9%) - 34,920
Watch Dogs PC (2%) - 7,760

 

[Daemul]

Look at that. Fuck. I had NO idea this game was going to dominate on one platform like this, even in the UK. That's exactly the sort of shit we used to see in 2007 for the X360 (obviously not in the UK.) but 50% on a big title .... is definitely 'status report meeting' time.

Sony's marketing deal came off, well see what happens with Destiny.

 

[Sojgat]

Well deserved. Fantastic game, and it's not like Ubisoft didn't advertise the shit out of it.

 

[DieH@rd]

Time to fucking give up last gen.

I really hope that MGS TPP [late 2015] will be one of the last major crossgen games.

So...

Watch Dogs PS4 (49%) - 190,120
Watch Dogs One (27%) - 104,760
Watch Dogs 360 (13%) - 50,440
Watch Dogs PS3 (9%) - 34,920
Watch Dogs PC (2%) - 7,760

Also worth noting, PS4 has sold more WDs than XBone+X360+PS3 combined.

 

[ekim]

Math:

Mario Kart 8 sold between 104760 and 50440 units. Pretty good.

 

[Jack cw]

Time to fucking give up last gen.

Thats sadly only the first week. The bigger installed base of last gen will give this title legs, not the current gen versions. Last gen will be with us at least until 2016

 

[DistortionOfReality]

Would be really interesting to see the platform breakdown of sales given that PS4 hardware sales boost.

EDIT: L2ReadEntireThread those numbers aren't as stark as I thought they would be. Still, not far off double for the PS4 I guess

 

[Nightengale]

I really hope that MGS TPP [late 2015] will be one of the last major crossgen games.

Aw hell no, it needs to be current gen exclusive.

For Japan's sake.

 

[plasmawave]

I don't get it.

 

[thelurkinghorror]

I'm honestly really surprised. The game doesn't appeal to me at all.

Wow at the PlayStation4 boost
The game is a blast, the first open world that beat (in some aspect) what R* is know for.

 

[Bundy]

PlayStation 4 counted for the vast majority of physical copies and helped the PS4 itself to a 94 per cent increase in hardware sales over last week.

PS4 version = 49% of total sales. .

Sony were very smart to have a co marketing deal with watchdogs. Next up destiny.

You bet! An awesome deal!
This and DESTINY soon..... the co-marketing deals were great this time.
Good job, Sony!

 

[DieH@rd]

Aw hell no, it needs to be current gen exclusive.

For Japan's sake.

It's sadly too late for that. They've invested a lot of effort into oldgen code/assets.

 

[devonodev]

WD has done really well. It's the kind of game that GTA fans want, but different enough to not feel like a clone of it. I think the game is good myself, nothing ground breaking, but it doesn't need to.

How well the sequel sells will be the real test. Hopefully we won't be finding that out a year from now.

 

[Certinty]

Expected and well deserved, the game is amazing.

 

[Tinzo]

friday i went to Amsterdam biggest media markt shop. there were only 3 ps4 watch dogs bundle left. al sold out in 3 days.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

WD 1st week in UK
PS4 49%
Xbone 27%
X360 13%
PS3 9%

Damn, my prediction in the PAL thread was near spot on.

Aw yeah.

 

[Bold One]

gross tattoos

 

[dex3108]

So...

Watch Dogs PS4 (49%) - 190,120
Watch Dogs One (27%) - 104,760
Watch Dogs 360 (13%) - 50,440
Watch Dogs PS3 (9%) - 34,920
Watch Dogs PC (2%) - 7,760

Based on leaderboards after 4 days there was over 400K PC players. So day one sales need to be higher than that.

 

[Acquiescence]

Well that's a lazy comparison.

gross tattoos

.

 

[dead monkey uk]

So is the bundle counted with the physical copies or seperate?

Does anyone know the answer to this?

 

[Daemul]

Hold on, so shes modelled after a porn actress, or is it just coincidence?

 

[Heshinsi]

The power of Christy Mack.

Bravo you clever fuck lol

 

[Bold One]

nah, just lazy ubi-design

 

[Paganmoon]

So is the bundle counted with the physical copies or seperate?

In the UK charts, bundles are counted as physical copies iirc.

About Destiny, I really don't see it being able to pull off the same thing. Not nearly as hyped as Watch_Dogs. You could hear chatter about WD a year ago, 3 months from Destiny, and no real chatter. Most consumers probably don't know what it is yet.

Not saying it'll tank, but it won't do WD numbers, and probably won't boost PS4 sales as much.
