| Mazzy said: Can people finally admit that Uncharted 4 sales are not really so great when considering the huge marketing push for this game? Will probably sell LTD same as TLoU, despite much more marketing and being the fourth in an established IP. It really seems Sony wanted something more for this, I mean the push and promotion has been immense. Either exclusives just aren't what they used to be, or Uncharted as an IP just doesn't have the appeal of many of the big multiplats. Or perhaps this game is just some digital anomaly or has significantly more RotW appeal than US appeal? But both of those sound more like the usual excuses used as damage control for when a game fails to meet expectations. Personally, I'm glad it did not sell as well, as I'd rather have Sony focus on a more diversified lineup than just one or two big AAA exclusives a year, and I'm not really a big Uncharted fan to begin with. |
Uncharted 4 did great and I was one of the few to predict under 1m physical.
Uncharted 4 is easily = or > TLOU due to weeks in NPD and digital sales.
Sony's lineup is pretty stacked though with Ratchet and Clank, and MLB releasing so close to Uncharted 4. Clearly Uncharted 4 should have released in November, but these sales are still really good in May.
