Ubisoft management had an earnings call with Gamespot a few days ago and revealed the Watch Dogs 2 pre-order numbers weren’t as high as expected. While pre-order numbers are important, CEO Yves Guillemot feels Watch Dogs 2 can still do extremely well and is still confident in the experience players will have.
Furthermore, CFO Alain Martinez says pre-order numbers are not always an indication of how well a game will sell. He then provided an example of the support and efforts behind the massive 1.4 update for The Division which had a great and positive impact on the game.
With a strong belief and confidence behind its games, Ubisoft feels pre-orders are very important, but the attention that goes into the quality of the game over a long period of time is key. I would have to agree – having pre-ordered my own fair share of games, I have certainly been let me down (Assassin’s Creed 3).
