No one knows except Sony. We do know it's PlayStation's largest ever marketing campaign, the largest team size (nearly doubling from Uncharted 3)*, had developmental issues and the story was completely rewritten, and it has been the focal point of E3, PGW, PSX, and so on for years now. I just think it's reasonable to suggest as the developmental and marketing budget swells, that expectations for sales increase. *I recalled seeing an article about how Uncharted 4's team had doubled since Uncharted 4, however I could not find this article. All I could find was they were at ~170 employees as of Feb. 2012 and are at ~300 employees on LinkedIn currently. Nearly a doubling in size since Uncharted 3. |
Best comment you made, thus far. Unfortunately, as you said, no one knows except Sony. So unless we have a good idea of what's the total budget (development + marketing), we can't make such declarative conclusions one way or another.
