Ubisoft is quite excited about the kind of response received for Watch Dogs at last year’s E3 event. Talking to MCV, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said that it gave its Montreal-based development team everything it needed so the game would live up to its ever-growing hype. While Guillemot was happily discussing about its game and its availability of different consoles, the conversation turned toward the publisher Nintendo, when he said that Nintendo needs to sell more Wii U.

“We think Wii U is a great machine. But it just has to sell more,” Guillemot said.

Nintendo launched the Wii U last year with an IBM multi-core processor, 2GB of RAM, and an AMD Radeon graphics chip. While there was nothing off-putting about the statement, it is never helpful or good when a publishing partner starts commenting on your platform’s performance at retail.

Turning back to Watch Dogs, Guillemot is pretty excited and boosted after the game’s showing last year at E3 and how much praise it garnered.

E3 was a great revelation for Watch Dogs,” Guillemot told MCV. “It gave us a chance to increase the whole project, giving the studio the chance to have bigger teams to help them achieve this goal they have.”

“You always have great ideas, but you need enough people to bring it to life. After E3, we really made sure they had all the teams they needed and all the capacity they wanted to fulfill their dream. It’s an open world that is well-adapted to what people want to play today. So there’s good potential for success,” he added.

Ubisoft unveiled its work of art Watch Dogs at E3 2012 that looked like a beautiful masterpiece of contemporary-set science fiction mixed with technology people interact with every day. In a way, Watch Dogs feels almost like a video game about how humanity copes with technology and its inevitable corruption of the human spirit—a theme at the core of many cyberpunk works.
