Easy prediction. PS4's large install base and Naughty dogs reputation will help it pass 10 million. There is a chance that Uncharted 4 might sell more than Halo 5.

You sure?

TLOU sold a bit above 5m with an even larger install base, ND's already established legendary status and widespread crittical acclaim and media spread.

Outselling Halo seems like a safer bet than selling 10m.

TLOU sold a good bit more than 5 million.

Are we throwing games together now to make the numbers bigger? There is a very good amount of overlap between the two versions and UC4 will certainly not benefit from people who buy the game twice.

That's like throwing both pokemon versions together even though we know that there is a bunch of overlap. Nobody would ever do tha.......oh wait.

I mean look, they're ok games, but the praise they get is entirely unwarranted. It really speaks to how games "journalism" and gamer expectations have degraded over the years. A game like this back in the late 90s or early 2000's would've been seen as a mediocre action game.

I have all night for you to explain how "the praise they get is entirely unwarranted." Of course, it's your opinion, but I'm expecting good stuff, so apply the effort. 

Bad writing, terrible story, cliche characters, zero level design, waist high cover, has no feeling of actually being an adventure, oh look another collapsing bridge or something, etc. etc.

It could happen, which is unfortunate since that entire series is trash.


I actually agree


:D

Simply can't wait for this game. PS4 at the moment isn't very appealing to me since I have an Xbox One but I for sure plan to get a PS4 in time for Uncharted 4. That's a system seller for me. My prediction is 1.4 million first month, 6 million within the first year and around 9-10m lifetime.

I don't see it happening, unless it's heavily bundled and I kind of doubt it will be bundled to that extent.

Did you even check the link and its date?

The very first sentence in the article, from July 16th -

"The Last of Us sales have passed the 7 million mark ahead of the game's remastered PS4 release later this month."

My fault. Still not counting the digital units. All that counts are retail VGC numbers :P

Cool. Glad I, and many, Many, MANY others completely disagree.

You're letting him off the hook pretty easily for not applying any effort whatsoever. You should insist on a whole paragraph per argument.

That may be asking too much. Especially when you consider his first and only 6 points couldn't be further from the truth

When a viewpoint is that heavily off from the consensus, there's just no point. I'll let what's available speak for itself.

On the bright side, it is good stuff, because it's some of the best comedy to come to this site in quite a while! :)

Really? I think talking smack about Uncharted is so last gen. They're the rabbi and priest jokes of gaming.
