Ubisoft heeft een goud ader geraakt met Watch Dogs, want deze hacker game is sind zijn launch maar liefst vier miljoen keer verkocht. Dit is opvallend aangezien dit een hele nieuwe franchise is en geen bestaande zoals Assassins Creed. Nu deze game zo goed verkoopt, zal het wel dezelfde weg in slaan als de laatst genoemde en krijgen we vast en zeker op jaarlijkse basis een nieuwe Kijk Honden titel.

Most successful launch title ever for Ubisoft® following phenomenal first week sales
London, UK - June 3, 2014 - Today, Ubisoft® announced ongoing record sales for Watch Dogs, which has sold-through more than 4 million copies in its first week, positioning it as the best-selling new IP at launch across the video game industry*. Having already broken sales records in the first 24 hours following its release, Watch Dogs is now the company's best-selling game ever in week one**.
"The results we achieved in the first week of launch are amazing and prove Ubisoft's commitment to developing new blockbuster IP and thoroughly new-gen experiences," said Darren Bowen, UK Sales Director.

The launch of Watch Dogs on consoles and PC was accompanied by the release of a free companion app, ctOS Mobile. The app allows gamers to connect with the Watch Dogs universe from anywhere, at any time, and is designed to enable revolutionary dual-screen gameplay, or even to be enjoyed as a standalone experience without the main game. ctOS Mobile has already been downloaded and played more than one million people**. Watch Dogs will also be released on the Wii Uâ„¢ system from Nintendo in Fall 2014.

Watch Dogs is set in Chicago and lets players become Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker seeking justice following a violent family tragedy. Pearce hacks into Chicago's Central Operating System (ctOS), which controls the city's infrastructure (security cameras, traffic lights, public transportation and more) as well as key data on the city's residents. The game uses the all-new Disrupt game engine to deliver stunning visuals and an incredibly immersive world.
