I remember when people like Starcraft were making fun of PS fanboys when they said Uncharted will pass 1 million. Now that game is close to 2 million and selling better then ME and Bioshock. Both these over rated game sold just around 2 million on much bigger install base.

I never said anything about Uncharted struggling to sell 1 million to my knowledge.
Link?

In the holiday season of 2007, the PS3 hit around 9 million units (way more than 360s first year). However, you said that because of its' "poor user base" Uncharted sold poorly......and Ratchet and Clank too for that matter (this is not exactly saying that 'Uncharted will struggle to get to 1 million' but is pretty indicitive of the assumption looking at the alleged "poor userbase" and the opening weeks numbers). The thing that startled me the most was that when the 360 had a similar userbase, games like Dead Rising and Viva Pinata sold over a million....yet for some reason the 360 userbase wasn't "poor", it was just "more" at the time.....hypocrisy, I tell you.

Lol.
At the time of the post. Uncharted HAD sold poorly relative to expectations.
And then they DID bundle it. And look where it is now.
And I said nothing about Dead Rising, and Viva Pinata got where it is because of bundling.
Next time choose a post where I didn't turn out to be completely correct.

According to VGC, Uncharted rests at 1.9 million at this moment. Have you ever heard of "legs"? Just because it didn't sell 800k first week didn't mean that it "sold poorly" even in the opening weeks.
And Uncharted was bundled alongside at R&C bundle...meaning that every PS3 sold DIDN'T have to have Uncharted in it. And this was only in EU. And those EU numbers aren't that much higher than North America.
And the only reason I brought up Dead Rising and Viva Pinata was because when the 360 had the same userbase and these games sold over a million, nobody ever said things for Dead Rising like "the userbase is too "poor" for this game to be exclusive/sell a lot" yet everytime a PS3 game pops up....even now, you STILL see it around. HYPOCRISY
