A see a lot of discussion going on about whether Uncharted can beat other titles. Now while there has been competition on this front there is no reason to believe that Uncharted will underperform. I'm serious about this. Even if Uncharted isn't the best-selling title for the first week on PlayStation 4 it will be the number one best selling exclusive Week 1 in this generation. I honestly can't think of a reason why this wouldn't be the case. Is there a reason to believe that PlayStation owners would not support this title?

Really speaks to the decline of exclusives and them holding an increasingly irrelevant role in hardware sales. 

Not sure how this relates to my comment but i do agree that exclusives are mostly irrelevant to hardware with Nintendo being a clear exception in some cases.  There are many different reasons for this. Its not as simple as saying exclusives don't matter. But in a world where 80-90% of big titles are multiplat, the expected conclusion is that multiplats will have bigger sway in their magnitudes.  Only maybe an exclusive GTA title could break this rule but that wouldn't be smart business either... (because no on is gonna pay a billion+ dollars for one game.)
