Watch Dogs' 8M copies sold pushes Ubisoft to record Q1

When you sell 8 million copies of a new game, you’re probably gonna smash a few records.

Publisher Ubisoft generated $490 million in sales during its fiscal first quarter. That’s up 374 percent from $103 million during the same period last year. In its financial report for its Q1 of fiscal 2015, the company also revealed that Watch Dogs is already at 8 million copies sold. The open-world hacking game debuted in late May to generally positive reviews, and people quickly ran out to snatch it up. With these blockbuster-level sales, Ubisoft is already gearing up for future installments of Watch Dogs.
