"Greatness from small beginnings".

I remember buying a ps3 magazine back in 2007 and flipping the page to see a 2 page advertisement for uncharted drakes fortune. It showed the scene where the U-boat was stuck up the top of the waterfalls. The caption was,

"One ordinary man, one extraordinary adventure".

I was like fuck it, never heard of this game but I feel like an adventure game so went out and bought it the next week.

I remember seeing the launch sales on VGChartz in December 2007 and they were shit. After playing the game and falling in love with it I was telling everyone about it.

Was so pleasing to watch it just continue to sell and sell every week on Vgchartz for a couple of years before it eventually had a decent total.

Uncharted 2 was revealed and got the series mainstream popularity and lots of people went back and bought the first. Drakes fortune ended up selling a lot!

Now look at the series. It's about to blast it's way over 30m sold about 8 years later. As the quote says.

"Greatness from small beginnings".
