Sure, it's easy enough for us to call our game highly anticipated. After all, we saw the copious comments from the community and amongst the media - all that lovely chatter about how everyone can't wait to get their paws on Watch Dogs. And, after a modest delay, we couldn't wait to deliver Ubisoft Montreal's innovative take on the open-world adventure. The good news: You really meant it. In its first 24 hours of availability, Watch Dogs sold more copies than any previous title in Ubisoft's history!
So more than any AC title ever. The hell.
you have to take into consideration that WD had a global release day one. while AC usually releases in EU and other countries a few days later. still impressive though.
