I see UC surpassing Gran Turismo. The series is declining and I see UC having much more potential. To be completely fair, let me express it geographically. I've always noticed that simulators and sports games did better in Europe. So I looked up the sales fo the GT series and here's what I got:
| Gran Turismo | North America | Europe | Japan | Rest of World | Global |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total | 21.40 | 26.17 | 9.97 | 6.91 | 64.46 |
I did the same for Uncharted, and here's what I got:
| Uncharted | North America | Europe | Japan | Rest of World | Global |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total | 6.26 | 5.31 | 0.62 | 2.29 | 14.47 |
It seems to me that Uncharted is a much more North-American series, while GT is stronger in Europe and (relatively speaking) Japan.
It's my opinion that, if marketed very strongly in the West, Uncharted could explode in sales. It is family friendly (from what I saw this far) kind of like Indiana Jones, it is funny, it is very organic (the movement of the characters, their facial expressions) and the action is very approachable.
It's my opinion that if more people got to see the game, just see it (forget the ads), just kiosks as many as you can, the game would sell in droves.
