Ah, but you're forgetting the always flexible argument that if it broke 1m, it should have sold 2m. If it sold 2m, then it should have sold 3m. If it sells 3m, then it should have sold 4. And if the publishers' desired projections were lower than actual sales? Oh, well they should have projected a lot higher of course and sales were still a huge disappointment.
One thing that's clear in the case of the Uncharted franchise: quality titles sell over the long run. Granted SCE actually threw a fair amount of marketing clout behind the title long after debut with the release of the Uncharted bundle, likely in preparation for raising public awareness of Uncharted 2, but the point remains that Uncharted managed to pick up the majority of its sales long after the front load period of sales typically expected of games within the genre.
