Wardogs passes 2 million sales and 400,000 concurrent players in a week
The launch-week figures give the game a large simultaneous audience, though nothing yet shows whether those players will stay.
Wardogs has sold more than two million copies in less than a week, and its concurrent player count has passed 400,000 in the same period.
The two figures arrived together but describe different things. Sales measure how many people have bought the game; concurrency measures how many were inside it at the same moment. A launch that clears 400,000 simultaneous players is doing more than selling copies — it is holding a large part of its audience in the game at once, which is the number that tends to matter for online titles.
No breakdown came with the numbers. There is no split by platform or region, and no word on how the count was taken beyond the week-long window given.
The next test is retention. Launch weeks are driven by curiosity and by whatever anticipation preceded them; the weeks after are driven by whether players stay. Wardogs has cleared the first hurdle quickly. Whether it clears the second will show up in the figures that follow.
