Comments such as
"WATCH_DOGS R.I.P" are immature at this point because this game haven't been released yet. My point is that we cannot (realistically) expect GTA series to prevent sales and take away from popularity of other immersive games.
Watch Dogs is expected to create its own market due to its innovative conceptualization. In-fact, GTA V and Watch Dogs cannot be even directly compared due to major differences in their conceptualization. Similarities between these two games are superficial regardless of them belonging to same genre.
Also, selling point of Watch Dogs is not just graphic fidelity (Make no mistake! Watch Dogs WILL BE one of the best looking games of its genre upon launch) but its innovative gameplay elements.
Also, its not like as if GTA games are immensely popular on the basis of merit; these games are immensely popular on the basis of just
fun factor of "open-style gameplay" in modern era setting. GTA 3 was certainly unique in its conceptualization during its time, but the newer ones are just follow-ups with improvements.
Watch Dogs is expected to redefine "open-style gameplay" genre by the way, just like GTA 3 did.
