OMG! Uncharted 3 may show HUGE numbers... already showing twice the U2's number... over 350k preorders for launch is almost certain .

It will easily beat U2, who doesn't expect it to?

But just like Gears 3 it will be MUCH more front loaded.

Did you just compare Uncharted 3 to Gears 3 in sales?

in respect of them both being much more front loaded 3rd time out.

Wouldnt you say that the whole concept of "front loaded" implies a stagnant user base? Where a game has a dedicated user base?

I think Uncharted has garnered a dedicated user base, and in that case it would probably appear to be front loaded but i feel uncharted is not at the levels of games like gears, halo, cod in sales. So i see the franchise as having more room to grow and in that case i dont think it will be front loaded.

I guess we could only judge that on how the sales holds up.

Thats my understanding of front loaded, so i think its too early to be saying its front loaded. But yeah maybe i got the whole front loaded thing wrong?
