Watch Dogs Beats Assassin’s Creed III To Top Of Ubisoft Day One Sales Chart

[Scion]

Ubisoft has high expectations for Watch Dogs, hoping it will sell at least 6.3 million copies (according to a recent earnings call) and establish a new franchise for the publisher. The game's release yesterday shows that Watch Dogs has the strong potential to meet or exceed those expectations.

According to Ubisoft, Watch Dogs has shattered the company’s previous first day sales record which was held by Assassin’s Creed III. That title sold 12.5 million copies in its first five months. Ubisoft announced earlier this month that it has shipped 11 million copies of Assassin’s Creed IV.

If Ubisoft is right, they will make around $400 million off of this game.
