Til tross for at Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare solgte 46 prosent mindre i forrige uke, klarte ikke Ubisoft å tukte skytespillet med deres Watch Dogs 2. Sistnevnte solgte 80 prosent færre fysiske kopier enn forgjengeren gjorde i sin første uke i 2013 på det britiske markedet, skriver GI.biz. Nå skal det sies at forventningene var vesentlig høyere til forgjengeren og at stadig flere kjøper spill digitalt, men 80 prosent er mye. Ubisoft kommer imidlertid med en uttalelse i en epost til Gamereactor, og de virker veldig positive med tanke på salget fremover:
"We're incredibly happy with critics' and players' very positive reception of Watch Dogs 2, which should bolster support for the long-term success of the game. It is true that first-day and first-week sales for a number of big games, including Watch Dogs 2 and titles from our competitors, are comparatively lower than previous versions in previous years. However, we expect both week-two and week-three sales to be above traditional sales patterns. There is a trend toward games, especially high-quality games, having stronger and longer "tails" as favorable reviews and word of mouth spread. Watch Dogs 2 is already considered a tremendous addition to the open-world action adventure series and we're confident that millions of players are going to love it."
