Comparing a launch game (Resistance) and a launch and bundled game (Motorstorm, was launch in Europe where it seems to have got most of its sales) sales curve to a game that was released one year after release is meaningless. The sales curves are completely different.

Yes, but it still doesn't change the fact that it took both games a few more months to cross over the 1 million mark. Ratchet has been out for 2 months, and Uncharted has been out for a month.

 

Your point being?

Both games took a long time to break 1 million because they were launch games. Launch games have a slower start and a slower drop-off because there are less people who own the console. Using these games as predictions for how Uncharted and Ratchet will sell are meaningless.
