Well yes for a GOTY it underperformed in the US, but I don't think he is aware of the European numbers.
It also will have nice legs.

How should it have performed? I never understand this "underperformed" talk. Underperformed compared to what?

Compared to expectations for a game who got 96% Meta, is in a mainstream genre, was hyped and is a sequel to a big seller & appraised new IP.

Explain those expectations, that matter. You mean Naughty Dog, who expected the game to reach 2.5mill and that's it? Yeah, those are the expectations that matter, not what any of us on a gaming forum think.

 

I expected Burn After Reading to make 300 million dollars WW...i mean, it was critically appraised, was in a mainstream comedy genre and was directed by The Cohen brothers who have made countless amazing films. It was a disappointment, just like Uncharted 2.
