| Zero Hero said: Misterd, Are you assuming that Uncharted's sales are done as of today? It was a first year PS3 title. Uncharted will hit at least 5M lifetime total. And even at reduced prices due to "Greatest Hits" status, it was investment worth making. Devs know when they have a great game or not. Releasing bad games is more due to deadlines than the "We can do no more with it" attitude. |
Besides the (obvious) unusual cases (like Brain Training) can you name a single game that sold more than 50% of its total sales after it had been on the market for 6 Months without being bundled?
Certainly, if it was a focus of Sony to build a brand and they pushed it hard I could see Uncharted passing 2 Million units but making a claim like 5 Million seems insane given its current performance. Basically, it is about as likely for Metroid Prime 3 to pass 10 Million as it is for Uncharted to pass 5 Million.
