PS4 and Xbox One gamers help Watch Dogs set new 24-hour sales mark for Ubisoft

I’ve always said this, and maybe now you’ll finally listen to me: Dogs are greater than assassins.

French publisher Ubisoft confirmed today that its latest major release, the open-world hacking game Watch Dogs, is its fastest-selling game ever. The company noted that it has sold more copies of the new release in its first 24 hours than any other Ubisoft game ever — that includes every Assassin’s Creed. Watch Dogs launched yesterday for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3, and it is likely benefiting from a consumer thirst for games on the new-gen hardware. It is also earning mostly positive reviews (including our own).
