I was thinking closer to 8 million which is phenomenal considering the highest selling Uncharted is around 6 million. 10 million would be tough, but not impossible.

The highest selling Uncharted is at 6.58m. Still, the newest Uncharted will also bring in The Last Of Us's fan-base, which will mean a nice little boost to franchise totals.


i think what people tend to forget is that the uncharted franchise was shown to be undertracked by vgc. Uncharted shipped 17.3 million as of april 2012. while VGC had it at around 14m~ sold by the time. we know the PSV version didnt do much. we know at that time that uncharted 2 was spot on with its tracking since they announced it sold 4.9 million   and at the time VGC showed it at 4.8 million. so it leaves two games where the under tracking happened. UC1 and UC3. considering that UC3 shipped 3.8 first day, and it was recently released when sony announced the 17.3m number, realistically it was the game that was undertracked. its not out of the question that UC3 is 1.5m, 2m or even more undertracked. 



Around the Network

Considering how the PS4 is doing, and how Naughty Dog is one of the most loved studio in gaming history (ONE of them), it's possible.

Uncharted 4, while remaining true to the series roots, also seems to be somewhat darker, more mature in its tone. It was already the case for UC3 (which got way more personal with Drake). So the TLOU fans will probably give it a shot. Add to that the hardcore Sony/Uncharted fans and all the newcomers, and 10M is far from impossible.

I think it won't go over 9M, which would already be quite amazing, but it's a possibility.



Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

5.9 million



10m is a bit hard, 8-9m seems more possible.

It probably won't happen. PlayStation IPs are always known as critically acclaimed and brilliantly produced titles but unfortunately they fall short in sales ( when compared to their greatness.

P.S: Welcome to VGChartz.


That's so not true 



Around the Network

3 million early on, 7 million tops.



Uncharted has always been one of the most bundled games and never hit 10 million. Tlou might be the most bundled game ever and never hit 10 million. Uncharted will be no different, 7-8 million max.



If it's bundled then maybe. I'm jumping on the 7-8 million bandwagon though.

So what does that have to do with anything though? ANd your second sentence is just COMPLETELY false and nowhere near true and I am prettys ure you know that as well.

Why do you say 7-8 max when UC3 is already approaching 7mil? And TLOU is only what 2 freaking years old and it is still selling as well.

Anyway OT I think it will easily sell7-8 mil and might fall JUST short of 10 but sell over 9 so I will say somewhere between 9.1-9.5mil.



The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

PlayStation 4 sells games like no other. With (Fifa and Call of Duty have probably already sold five million by now) two five million sellers, Destiny and Gta V already four million by now, and Watch Dogs at three million being a new ip, twenty plus million sellers this early in it's life cycle is crazy. Uncharted 4, being as hyped, loved, and as critically acclaimed as it is considering all of these million sellers, by the time it comes out it will be a ten million seller. I also think it will sell three million in it's first week.

 

I don't know how to make a poll, but if I did it would ask if you guys think this will happen or not. (first thread ever)


I highly doubt UC4 will sell anywhere near 10m. UC3 sold 6.5m on a system with over 80m sold world wide and comiong off one of the most acclaimed games of last gen in UC2. UC4 has a major disadvantage since its being released on a platform no where near the sales base of its predessor and its coming off the hype of UC3 which wasnt as great as many made it out to believe. I would predict 4 to 7m tops. I am basing this off Uncharteds history.


Sorry but you seem to have some serious misconceptions. Once Uncharted 4 is released the PS4 will have sold ~30-35 million units and that number will grow by an additional ~15-20 million in the following year. The size of the PS4's userbase will in no way restrict the popularity of Uncharted 4. Gran Turismo 3 outsold GT4 and the PS2's userbase was tiny compared to when GT4 launched. Additionally, I must take issue with your statement that you based your prediction off of Uncharted's history because this is clearly not the case. If you did use the sales data of the past titles you would arrive at the conclusion that Uncharted 3 will sell at least 7 million units, not significantly less. Sorry but 4 million is not even a remote possilibility unless Uncharted 4 is a huge critical failure.
