Bad news for Activision, worse news for Ubisoft

So whilst Infinite Warfare's UK sales plummeted to 52% of BOIII's in both games' first week, Ubisoft is seeing an even sharper decline: WD2 sold 80% less in its first week than its 2014 prequel, and wasn't even able to knock IW off the number 1 spot. The sharp irony here is that Watch Dogs isn't even an annual franchise. But presumably the graphical downgrade the first game suffered, and the lacklustre critical reception to what was at the time the fastest-selling new IP ever (thereafter bested by Destiny, and then The Division), dented the sequel's hopes. Not to mention the obnoxious style of WD2. I used to quite enjoy the once-a-year memefest that is Aisha Tyler presenting '#UbiE3', but to cram it all into an open-world title lasting at least a dozen hours... that would test even my patience.

  • Dude, we just blew $120 on Titanfall and BF1 and some people Skyrim. Give it time. Also, it's right around Christmas. I'm not saying there hope for IW, but people are being cautious around WD2 because WD1 disappointed a little. WD2 is supposed to be great though.
