This might be misconstrued as trolling but 600k from a 1st party title in any regards sounds like a flop to me. There ain't enough frosting in the world to make this cake any sweeter from Sony's perspective. I wonder how much money did it (Uncharted 2) cost to produce such high quality presentation?

Well, we don't know if that number is accurate, you'd have to know ACTUAL sales expectations before we can label something a "flop", and right now the game is about to cross 2 million, something that was laughed at just 2.5 months ago.

 

I only said that number when compared to other 1st party and to a greater extent 3rd party offerings on competing platforms. 2m WW still seems to be lackluster amidst all the marketing hype and praise it obtained. I think this title will break 4m but that is going to be one very steep climb. Strong legs it will need.
