New IP, Uncharted *2* isn't a *new* IP

Yes.. but it said it outsold U2 during Oct. And it didn't?

Man some times I think my posts are invisible.

If you do the numbers properly you will see that PC sales probably account for the difference (need to be ~150K for Oct). Have a look at my post not far above your first one.

And remember NPD = USA, not the world. Maybe you were thrown because the link was to the Aussie IGN website?

I'm assuming it beat inFamous, but it shouldn't be hard given inFamous is exclusive new IP and Borderlands is 3xmultiplatform.

How many 3xmultiplatform new IPs have there been in 2009 I wonder? Kinda depressing thought if there have only been a few. The year has been stacked with re-hashes of previous gen IP or this gen launch IP? Fortunately there have been some exclusive new IPs, but they are almost no chance of outsell a 3xmultiplatform new IP at launch.

They are probably fortunate that Dante's Inferno is a 2010 release, I think that will have a pretty good 3xmultiplatform release for a new IP.
