On May 27th, Watch Dogs will finally release for the PS3 and PS4 – six months after it was originally supposed to be out in November 2013.
In an interview with MCV UK, Ubisoft’s Wayne Greenwell revealed that Watch Dogs pre-orders are “hugely promising for a new IP” and they highlight “the enthusiasm that has surrounded the product since it was first unveiled to the world.” Greenwell continued by saying that Ubisoft believes Watch Dogs will be one of the best-selling titles of 2014:
With Watch Dogs, Ubisoft is building a new blockbuster brand to stand alongside other top tier triple-A titles and we expect it to be not only one of the best selling new IPs in recent memory, but also one of the best selling titles throughout 2014.
It should be a fun race to see which new IP sells the most during 2014, especially considering Activision expects “Destiny will become the best-selling new video game IP in history.”
Considering all the big games still to launch in 2014, do you think Watch Dogs will be among the top 10 best-selling games of 2014? Let us know in the comments below.
