| Quantum-Tarantino said: Nope, looks exactly like the type of game i would go nuts over. BUT heres why it wont hit a million. First, its a New IP - Noone knows Uncharted from Adam. Second, its got an identity crisis - Is it a shooter? An indiana jones style adventure? A puzzle solving romp ala zelda? Third, Install base in its target market. - The 360 consolidated most of its market share (unintentionally) in the USA, so when a game doesnt sell in japan, it doesnt matter. With the PS3, it NEEDS Japan AND USA for a bona-Fide Mega hit. Uncharted will be exactly that in Japan, Un-Charted. Fourth, It will be launchnig against STIFF competition - This will be the final nail. Why pay $700 for uncharted, when you already have an X360, and similar games are coming, sure they wont look as pretty, but they dont have to. Why try a NEW game/IP/Genre when you have GTA and Halo, Mario and Metroid. Gears of War launched at the perfect time, Uncharted doesnt have that Luxury. |
Why are you assuming this game along with Resistance Heavenly Sword ,Lair will not push systems this Christmas? there is no way this game will not hit 1 million.
"Why pay $700 for uncharted, when you already have a X360 and similar games are coming out" ?
first of all the 360 still has not hit 10 million yet well into its second year I think its safe to say that not every one has a 360. and when you put up the big games out for Christmas on the 2 "next gen Systems" Mario and Metroid are not competeing for the same market so really Mario and Metroid will not take away sales from the more mature looking games.
Lastly you say this game has an Identy crisis then claim that similar games are coming to 360? Which is it you don't know exactly what to class the game in or there will be the same type of game on the 360? If 1 in 3 PS3 owners picked up Resistance then I am sure they will do the same for Uncharted.
