"Uncharted 2 & 3 both have big lead over TLOU."

The PS3 version of the Last of Us is tracking much higher then Uncharted 2 and it was keeping up with U3.


Can I have official numbers from somewhere? I'm drawing my conclusions on OP's starting post charts. :D


www.vgchartz.com/tools/game_comparison.php?reg=Global&ending=Cumulative&game[]=Uncharted+2%3A+Among+Thieves+(PS3)+[28733]&game[]=Uncharted+3%3A+Drake's+Deception+(PS3)+[49054]&game[]=The+Last+of+Us+(PS3)+[70350]&game[]=

As you can see The Last of Us is clearly selling at a more rapid pace than Uncharted 2 while it was tracking closely to Uncharted 3. This of course does not include the PS4 version. Additionally, it is widely suspected that TLoU is significantly undertracked on the PS3 but that is a matter for another discussion.


So are you saying that TLOU is undertracked by a million? This chart only proves my point, TLOU momentarily surpassed Uncharted 3 in weekly comparison because of Christmas sales, but Uncharted 3 regained the weekly lead with its second Holiday bump. And the reason why it looks undertracked is because of the differing release dates Uncharted in October/November and TLOU in June. So the curves don't quite match.

Now you may say that the PS4 version terminated a lot of the PS3 version's Holiday sales this year, which might be true... partially. "Partially" meaning that PS4 is a lot more "sexy" Console and it is a lot easier to sell 2+ million on PS4 than on PS3. Just look at GTA V on PS4. Even mediocre games like Knack can reach 1 million. So nobody can just add the PS3 and PS4 versions sales and say that TLOU would have sold more on PS3.

Of course I could be wrong about everything and TLOU is horribly undertracked, but until I have solid proof on my hands UC2 & UC3 both have sold better on PS3. :)
