Watch Dogs sold through 4M copies in its first week

Watch Dogs, Ubisoft's hacking-filled, open-world action adventure game, sold through more than 4 million copies in its first week, communications manager Gary Steinman announced today via the UbiBlog.

That number qualifies Watch Dogs as the best-selling new property across the entire games industry, as well as Ubisoft's best selling game in the first week. Following its first 24 hours on sale, Watch Dogs sold more copies than any other game in Ubisoft's history.

The game's free companion app, ctOS Mobile, has been downloaded by more than one million people. The app, available for Android and iOS devices, allows users to hack the city to deter friends and more.

Watch Dogs launched for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Windows PC May 27. The Wii U version could still launch this year.
