Watch Dogs Is The Biggest New IP Launch In The UK Ever

Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs has taken the crown of the best-selling new IP launch in the United Kingdom of all-time. Watch Dogs outsold Mario Kart 8 and shot straight into the number one position. Watch Dogs easily beat previous record holder LA Noire. Ubisoft says that Watch Dogs is now the 17th biggest game launch in the UK of all time.

    1. Just a GTA knock off but inspired by Assasin’s Creed since it is Ubisoft. Just another game for Lame Box users and PlayStation Fail gamers to live out their violent fantasies and see boobage. And it’s mostly kids to preteens and to early teens that play these games, whether they find some way to get ahold of these games or their parents are just too stupid or have no care to give it to them.

      1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

        I’ve seen quite a few gameplay videos about this game and walkthroughs, nothing caught my interest…

        1. I’m really interested in the atmosphere. Just like pretty much every other Ubisoft game, its something they always get right.

          1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

            Personally I think the atmosphere is one of the things they ruined with this game…

            It seemed much more dark and serious when it first was revealed but now it’s just similar to other games…

      2. Given the metacritic user reviews, I’m not touching it until Ubisoft cleans that shit up. You haven’t seen a glitch yet?

        1. Oddly enough, I’m playing it on medium settings on my laptop. Finished the latter part of the campaign in an 8 hour marathon and no glitches or hiccups.

    1. and they sold it on multi platforms…mk8 is exclusive in one platform..
      besides watch dogs isn’t receiving good reviews, even from users..

        1. oh, I did not see this hahah, impressive, even with a not good console selling for xbox one they could sell a lot of watchdogs for the platform

  1. Awwww babies are throwing tantrums because Watch Dogs sold better than their precious Baby Kart 8 =(. And what will make them even sadder is that Watch Dogs on XBO sold more than their precious Baby Kart 8 on the Baby U, I thought according to the babies that XBO has sold less hardware units than the Baby U, so Watch Dogs on XBO sold more with a smaller hardware install base than the Baby U!!!!! LOLOLOLOLOL. Or is it that XBO is now in 2nd place in hardware sales and the Baby U which launched over a year sooner has been relegated to third place in hardware sales. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA! Hilarious!!!

      1. Nintendo + PS4/PC = best gaming combo.
        Sad to see how many people only buy and use Nintendo products, meaning they can’t get the best out of gaming.

      1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

        Plus their leaders are even more desperate that they retreated with every garbage that made the Xbox Done…

        Now it’s nothing more than a slighlty more glorified Xbox 360…

    1. All I got from that was the word baby. Are you like a Pokémon? Only able to say what you are?
      Also I believe 3DS is the number one selling piece of hardware.

    2. Now the hype is over for Watchdogs and it seems like no everybody thinks that the game lived up to its expectations.

      MK8 on the contrary, has delivered and gamers feel overall very satisfied.

      Quality over quantity any day.

      Thanks for your contributions, there is the exit after unsuccessful trolling –>

    3. The only babies throwing tantrums are in MK8, since there are SO MANY FUCKING BABIES in that game.

      1. I hate when people point out catering to the Koopalings who are seven characters yet they are their own separate characters and who have been around longer than the seven clone characters have. The five babies and two tin heads. Since this was the first time playing them in a Mario Kart and the first time playing them ever, they deserve the role. Especially for being around longer than 20 years. New faces like Baby Rosalina and Pink Gold Peach are just awful rip offs of their originals. They don’t deserve to be playable or even known about. If there’s DLC for a vehicle in MK8 then maybe they’ll have DLC characters so that I can enjoy more characters and reduce the percentage of having to race against the babies and metal abominations.

        1. I agree. At least the Koopalings earned their right of passage in the epic SMB3.
          The human babies…I could overlook if they didn’t replace my G.Damn favorite Drivers with them! D:< !!!!

    4. Said the baby who is damage controlling at the fact that Watch_dogs is more hype than gameplay ;)

      Sorry kiddo, the game was decent but not really worth anything. Smarter people are holding off for a FAR better open World game that is a CRY away to be shown at E3 be4 any of the shit games on PS4/Xbox One…. That and they went to Mario Kart 8 which has a very long lasting appeal and was worth the hype.

  2. Who freaking cares, Watch Dogs got old and boring fast, i can easily play Mario Kart 8 for years. Yes i own both

  3. Eh, with that degree of marketing control you could make a box containing a literal piece of shit seem like the killer app of the millennium.

    This means nothing.

    1. …. thanks for giving me that idea *Takes a crap inside of a Watch_Dogs’ game case* Wow… it looks the same as the game :D

  4. I would be curious to know which begins turning a profit first?
    Given the extensive production and Marketing costs, Watchdogs has a hellava lot more sales needed to actually make money.

    MK8 Will likely start printing money long before watchdogs does. Just sayin.

  5. I can’t wait to play this game. I am refusing to buy it until after I get a gaming pc. Seriously. That’s where the best version is. Lol.

    1. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

      Or you could wait & see how the Wii U version does first. After all, you are one of the few people not known to troll defending it’s Wii U release.

  6. pink0crystal0midbus

    Game looks good, but they need to fix the glitches. I’m certainly buying it when it comes to Wii U.

    I am itching to see the Mario Kart 8 and Wii U sales all over the world! :)
