Damn that was such a crazy big launch. Yeah Division won't be doing anything like that lol
Yup. Destiny, as a shooter, is easy the bigger new IP ever in USA, waaaaaaaaaaay over Watch_Dogs, which only sold 1.87 million in 6 weeks.
Though, as a worldwide battle, they were very close.
Watch_Dogs has sold 4 million during first week, and Destiny has sold 6.3 million in one month ( 4 weeks ).
While in USA Destiny was a way bigger game, in UK they were super close
Watch_Dogs first week - 388,000
Destiny first week - 417,000
The most interesting part is that, in the rest of Europe, and well, IN THE INTERE EUROPE, the Watch_Dogs launch was bigger than Destiny...
Indeed, Watch_Dogs in Europe remain the bigger new IP ever.
I'm from Italy, and honestly i expected that. Where i live, Watch_Dogs was way more hyped... i'm not surprised it outsold Destiny here.
In general, Ubisoft in Europe is BIG.
Most of the Ubisoft series as Far Cry, Assassin's Creed, and Watch_Dogs are BIG in Europe and here in Italy.
Ubisoft best market is always Europe by a long time. BUT, with The Division is gonna be an interesting case.
We talk about a shooter. And we know the shooters in USA is bigger than in Europe. That's also why Destiny has sold SO MUCH more than Watch_Dogs in Europe.
I don't know how is the situation in USA, but at least here in Italy, The Division is very hyped, but not at Watch Dogs level... At least in Italy and generally in Europe, i believe Watch_Dogs won't be topped soon. Not by The Division, at least.
USA, eeeeeeeh, i don't know... maybe The Division can outsell Watch_Dogs in USA. Guess we will see.
Watch_Dogs first week in USA was 1.26 million, and 1.87 million in 6 weeks.
Will The Division beat it?
