Great sales, but imo they shouldve waited another year for Uncharted 3, i'm afraid this could cut the legs of UC2, which has done 4 mil in just over a year, i think in another 1 -2 it could do, near 6 mil.

I don't think Uncharted 3's release will hurt the sales of Uncharted 2.  By the time it comes out, Uncharted 2's sales will have already slowed to a crawl.  If anything, people who haven't played the second game will want to get it before experiencing the latest adventure, giving it a momentary sales boost.   Just like most people did with Drake's Fortune.

Yeah, for a story driven series like this, marketing for new titles equates to marketing for its predecessors.  Just look at the bump Uncharted got when Unchated 2 came out, and it's still selling decently today.  I would argue the quality of Uncharted 2 extended the legs of the first considerably, given the number of new fans it brought to the series.
