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

Holy shit.
Wow almost 50% on one platform.

Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.
Almost a 2:1 ratio with Xbone (27%). Damn, Watch_Dogs (and soon Destiny) will really be the system sellers that PS4 needs.

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

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

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.

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

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

Time to fucking give up last gen.
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

Sony's marketing deal came off, well see what happens with Destiny.
I really hope that MGS TPP [late 2015] will be one of the last major crossgen games.
Also worth noting, PS4 has sold more WDs than XBone+X360+PS3 combined.
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

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

You bet! An awesome deal!
This and DESTINY soon..... the co-marketing deals were great this time.
Good job, Sony!
It's sadly too late for that. They've invested a lot of effort into oldgen code/assets.
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.

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

Does anyone know the answer to this?
Hold on, so shes modelled after a porn actress, or is it just coincidence?
Bravo you clever fuck lol
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.
