Personally I don't think Sony's Holiday exclusive lineup is bad at all for the NA. Yes Sony is putting alot of faith in Uncharted to differentiate itself from the other consoles, but I think it's faith is well place it appears UC:2.
...I think the problem is Sony fans were expecting something "BIG" to compete with Halo:ODST, or Super Mario Bros Wii, while not GT5, I think Uncharted is a worthy product,
The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!
...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?
