This was quite funny. I think you should go back and view some posts and topics around the tiimes you are saying everything flopped. (Seriously, Killzone 2 and Uncharted 1 exceeded pretty much everyone's expectations as nearly all thought KZ2 was going to suck) |
Uncharted 1 was considered a huge Flop until U2 came out and generated tons of buzz. People went back and bought Uncharted 1.
It wouldnt be close to its current sales if U2 didnt improve so much and get so much GOTY awards.

That's a complete lie. Uncharted 2 was released in October of 2009 and the first Uncharted had already sold over 2.5 million at that point. After that it sold well based off Uncharted 2 and bundling (but bundling was the primary boost). So, the majority of sales were already achieved by the time Uncharted 2 had released and the bundle was bigger factor to its great legs.

Well Uncharted was considered a flop though selling horrible the first weeks it was launched. It simply had legs and that was unexpected for most of the vg crowd then.

Uncharrted launched on a console with a 6 million unit install base or somewhere around that number... what can people expect? It wasn''t going to sell a million copies week one.... it was going up against the mega hyped ASSASSINS CREED that launched that same time period on PS3, and Uncharted wasn't even close to as hyped as Assassins Creed..... Uncharted was just a new ip hyped as much as..... Motorstorm was maybe... but Heavenly sword was hyped the most that year as an exclusive.... and it really fell short criticly... yet sold over a million copies..

Gears of war sold 600 k first week on a console with like what 6-8 million userbase? People expected the same for Uncharted and it ended up with 30k first week... Yes people called it an flop.
