Analyst: Watch_Dogs Delay Will Push Back PS4 and Xbox One Sales

Did you all read about the Watch_Dogs release date being delayed yesterday? No? Well, check it out here and report back.

You up-to-date? Good.

Now, an analyst has told the BBC that the delay could cause some issues for next-gen consoles: "I think it was going to be one of the drivers for initial games-console bundle sales and will probably push back some of the hardware sales that would have happened right out of the gate for Sony and Microsoft" said Lewis Ward, games research manager at consultants IDC.

He continued, "But absolutely it's the right decision if there's something glitchy or there's some game-balance factor that is off.".

Ubisoft clearly agrees. It has said that while the delay will mean a short-term hit, it's playing a longer game. The company says it hopes to win the next generation.

Lewis, meanwhile, added that, "there's no reason Ubisoft can't still deliver what they hoped to do with this game."
