Nobody said it sold 5 million in 9 weeks, The OP is the one who drew the comparison between SO and Uncharted. I was pointing out that although the sales up to week 9 were somewhat similar, the way the games were selling was very different.

I'm sure SO will sell closer to InFamous than it will Uncharted, though I think it will sell closer to InFamous 2 than it will to the first game.

I drew the comparison by saying that Uncharted was a sleeper until Uncharted 2 was revealed at the VGA's in 2008. Uncharted was a on a two year cycle and launched in 2009. As you can well see...based on bundling and sequel popularity..the original Uncharted has continued to sell well into 2014. After Uncharted 2 came out the hype for Uncharted one really started to mount. The VGA trailer was only the start.
