Uncharted 3 is a MAJOR flop, Americans, we need to talk about it.

As a non PS3 owner, the opinion of an outsider may shed some light, or it may spark a debate :)

It sold more then Uncharted 2 first week but then again Gears 3 had a much bigger boost compared to Gears 2. Im bringing up Gears 3 off course because it is the 360 biggest exclusive this year, as Uncharted 3 is PS3 biggest exclusive this year. Both are third person shooters, more or less.

The Uncharted franchise is the result of overhype on the internet by the loyal fans. The voices of the few many times speak for everyone, but doesn't necessarily represent everyone.

The result is massive hype that has no equal on the internet but translates to poor actual sales........compared to rivals such as Gears.

a similar comparison could be made between forza and gt but of course since forza is a 360 game any comments you make on that are flipped the other way from sales to metacritic scores... regardless i  guess by now it should be obvious to anyone who has seen your posts and your sig that you only really have one goal here

Well Forza and GT never released in the same year, Nor would I call Forza 360's biggest exclusive, nor even the biggest exclusive of the year. Thats where your counterpoint falls short. Besides not only does Forza have GT beaten in Metascore it also has more total sales this gen. F2 + F3 > GT5. F4 is just a bonus :). Thats what happens when they take too long to make a game. 

Your point aside it doesn't counter my original hypothesis that PS3 gamers on the internet overhype their biggest games and then wonder why they fall short in the real world compared to the competition. I dont recall 360 gamers hyping up Forza anywhere as close to Uncharted 3. 

My goal is to spark debate. My comment isn't trolling, merely playing devils advocate. Look up "forum" in a dictionary when you have time. My motives are clear but I take care (for the most part) to word it properly so its not outright trolling. Aint like im saying "Uncharted 3 sucks cause it can't touch Gears 3". Cause im not. Just because I have bias, doesn't mean my points have any less merit.
