Mario Kart 8 is at 7.50 million and still selling, it should be able to surpass 8 million when all is said and done.

Uncharted 2 & 3 both sold over 6 million but under 7 million and Uncharted 4 will need to sell at least 8 million so that would be a pretty decent sized increase from previous installments but still feasible.

I'm torn and it should be a pretty close battle, I think there will be less than a 500,000 gap between the two.

Actually by the time ND released the Nathan Drake collection Sony confirmed Uncharted trilogy sales at 21M.
That is a 7M average per game, and as we know the first didn't got that, AT LEAST, one of them without a doubt went over 7M sales.

IMO the sales for the trilogy divide as: 1 - 5.5M, 2 - 7.5M, 3 - 8M

Expecting Uncharted 4 to do less, with a way more popular platform and with the shower of praise it's getting prior launch and that'll get soon enough after the reviews hit, also considering the TLOU boost to ND popularity (7M on 1 year on the PS3 alone with the PS4 almost all that time already on the market, plus the sales of the Remastered version), it's a bit absurd.

Unless Mario Kart sales start rising considerably, there is no way it will hold Uncharted 4, that game is going easily over 8M sales.

You are forgetting about Golden Abyss on Vita, this site has it at 1.7 million. The there is also the card game, Fight For Fortune, although it probably didn't sell very well.

So its still very likely that no Uncharted game has surpassed 7 million and if one has than its by a very small amount.

Just to meet somewhere in the middle, lets just say Uncharted 2 & 3 sold around 7 million, could be a little more or could be a little less.
