Forums - Sales - Uncharted 3 will bomb?

It will probably end up at around 5 million sold, probably won't beat Battlefield 3, Modern Warfare 3, HALO Remake or Skyward Sword. But i don't think it will flop

while i agree with much of what your saying, you need to turn down your tone

sorry didn't read the bolded part and it would be irony wouldn't it! and i think these forums should have thread approvals or else this will keep happing i hate trolls so much i mean this is obviously a personal attack towards the ps3 userbase by saying it will flop and it wont do well metacritic wise and it has under welming graphics...

no, hes right you need to calm down.

this isnt a "personal attack", its just a crappy thread premis.

yer im calm now.. still id like a thread aproval system because crap threads like this are pathetic and i shouldn't have even wasted my time on it..



just posting to keep tabs...

and no, Uncharted 3 will not bomb on any standards



Around the Network

no way this will bomb dude. I think this will sell more than the previous one.

Controversial topic!

 

Do I think it will? Not necessarily, but I think it could. Reasons:

 

-Sony first party games dont tend to sell well

-The game is not burning up the Amazon charts to date Isn't that what VGC's pre-order charts are for? Where it says it has 250k pre-orders, compared to a 415k launch for 2, suggesting that it will beat the last game

-Heavy competition Well yeah, but it will certainly rise above most of the competition in terms of reviews

-Lack of same graphical awe factor as 1 and 2. Other games have caught up. Still one of the best looking games, but not head and shoulders above anymore arguably Have you looked at any of the footage, only Gears 3 is actually close

-Lack of popular multiplayer What? Uncharted 2 multiplayer had a good dedicated user base, and the beta for 3 was really popular and well receieved

Discuss

So basically; no



I don't know about pre-orders, but I know all my PS3 owning friends are getting it.



ROFLMAO!!!!!

Yes it will bomb HARD it will only do 4-5m thats a bomb right? damn that means besides halos and gears 360 exclusives are all flops then? that also means a huge chunk of Multiplat games are flops too!

The preorders are showing it Uncharted 3 will bomb, this game will end up far behind its expectations. Uncharted 2 sold well because of its hype, its great Review Score and its great graphics. This time all of it is gone Uncharted 3 has no real hype, the graphics are not real different than Uncharted 2 and many other Games like Crysis 2, Rage or Gears of War 3 have  caught up to that Level and the  Review Score are sure will be lower this time.

what, WHAT?! What do you mean Uncharted 3 has no hype? Uncharted has a lot of hype to fans of the series. Unless the game is truly bad, it will not bomb. It's not gonna go and sell 3mil right of the bat, a la GoW3, but it will end up selling at least 1.5 mil ~ 2.5mil by the end of this year, and that's a really rough estimate honestly. The graphics are looking fantastic, although I agree the graphics jump between U1 and U2 was higher than U2 to U3, but the grpahics and animations are looking better than ever. U3 can hold it's own aganist any of the games coming out in november,  sadly with the exception being MW3 cause everybody is hooked on that one game apparently. 

Overall, U3 will not bomb. It's looking like a strong contender for GOTY but we won't truly know until it's release. I assume it will have a decent opening the first week, however I can't guestimate on the number
