Actually Patcher is dead on accurate about UC2. USA sales are extremely disappointing. There are 10 million more ps3 users than when UC1 launched. Tons of hype and marketing but disappointing sales nonetheless.

Patcher is usually terribly off base with his analysis. Not this time.

You talk about USA sales then you talk about the increase in worldwide userbase. That's not proper debating. That's nonsense.

In fact, your argument is a nonsense in general. UC2 is tracking far better than the first in the US.

Be careful; haven't you been banned for similar trolling twice in the last week already?

First  of all i reported you for calling me a troll.

Second of all just because a game sells better than the 1st doesn't mean it still isn't a disappointment.

UC2 is a HUGE disappointment so far, just like I said gears of war 2 was a huge disappointment even though it sold more than gear 1.

The OP said it has sold 2 million worldwide which is why i said the ps3 user base increased by 10 million even though it's closer to 15 million.

These sales are inexcusably poor.

As for your "second of all", I didn't say UC2 is "tracking better". Rather, I quantified it specifically as "tracking far better".

Secondly, you're crazy if you think Gears 2 was a huge disappointment. It's a very loose rule of thumb, but sequels usually sell worse than the first title of the franchise that generation, so Gears 2 closing in on Gears 1 is a huge achievement.

Lastly, there are things called attach rates.  Uncharted 2 wasn't going to get an extra 15 million sales over the first game just because the install base increased by 15 million.

Oh, and you've been banned. My point proven.
