Im not making sense? I haven't said that it hasn't sold systems, the systems are bought for the games of course. What im saying is that it hasn't gone on to sell enough systems to call it a system seller and to do that dilutes the real accomplishments of the true system sellers.

You wouldn't call Vampire Rain a real technical masterpiece because it limps over the finish line of looking better than most last generation games would you? I hope not. If you take a litteral interpretation of 'if it sold systems then its a system seller' then its meaningless so either Uncharted 2 is a system seller and the distinction is meaningless or Uncharted 2 isn't a system seller and the distinction is meaningful.

It doesn't matter what kind of system seller you choose to label it. Be it big, significant, or small, the fact remains, Uncharted 2 sold PS3s and caused a 19% increase in PS3's weakest territory. Nothing left to say really, just accept these conditions.


I started this crap but I just wanted to be clear that if we consider the bump Uncharted 2 gave the PS3 was a system seller then you cannot say MW2 isn't because it will bump sales for the 360 in a similar manner.  Yes it should lso bump the PS3 sales a little too but not as much given most people claim there is a broader demographic on the PS3 that aren't shooter orientated.  I just wanted to point out how crazy and to use your own words hypocritical for users on here to dismiss the game being a system seller.  Those who believe it isn't obviously think there will be no bump in console sales which is madness, this is the biggest game of the year and will be advertised to death!

Once again I still think the article is miles off in their prediction though.
