I told you uncharted 2 was overtracked by some bit.

It is never going to outsell the original.

Uncharted 2 overtracked? Probably by less than 10%. Hardly something worth saying I told you so over. >900K for USA vs 1.27 million for whole of Americas, that's reasonable correlation in my book. Other games listed here have significant discrepancies, but not really Uncharted 2.

 

Yes it is. Work with me a little bit here, i had some kind of bet.

Well actually it is just a matter of reputation, but still.

900k vs 1.3 million is something i would call significant..but hey who am I.

Like I said >900K in USA only vs 1.27 million in total Americas. If you consider the UC2 sales outside USA (within the Americas countries) then your >900K will get a lot closer to 1.27 million than what you suggest here. It's entirely possible that 900K + the rest of the Americas gets to around 1.2 million. Is as little as 70K really that much of an overtrack that it should be specifically commenting on? I don't think so.

Wait until UC2 goes greatest hits / platinum before pronouncing it as never going to outsell the original. I haven't got UC2 yet because I'm waiting for it to go platinum so I can buy it for almost half the new release price. I was tempted to buy it used the other day, but I figure I should give Naughty Dog the honour of a new game purchase.
