I mean, If Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed can tear up the (PS3) charts like they are, why did Racthet fall so hard? And Uncharted?

Ratchet and Uncharted will sell a lot. No worry. Both games will sell more than million copies. It will take some time though. Uncharted is very stabil (43k, 78k, 63k) and I wouldn't be surprised if it passes 2 million eventually.

In NA, people buy a BR player that play games.

In PAL, people buy a console that play BR.

I used to be Sega hardcore and then I lost faith. I used to be Sony hardcore and I'm losing faith.

Sounds to me like it's time to consider being brand agnostic. Meaning, don't be ____ hardcore. Choose your consoles based on the software available for them. Video gaming doesn't have to be a religion -- no faith is required to enjoy!

Remember Sony only sold about 7 million consoles so far. For a game to reach the 1 million mark they need to have a pretty good attach ratio.

Hype n TV ads for COD4 n Ac were much more

+ Ratchet (God that game deserved SO MUCH MORE) doesn't appeal to the non "kiddy" Ps3 audience, even tho thegame isn't kiddy it's being perceived like that

as for UC - it's released in ONLY USA so far & even there it's shown great legs...lets see how it goes on for it

I'm pretty sure Uncharted was just released in Japan and bombed pretty hard. But I don't think anyone was expecting otherwise.

Which brings up another thing that's bothering me. Sony's been putting a lot of time, money, and hype into games Japan could care less about. I mean, we all know Killzone 2 doesn't have a chance in hell there. With most of the Japanese-centric games being brought by 3rd parties, the heaviest hitters still months or even years away, what does Sony have to keep Japan interested in the PS3 long enough?
