It definitely won't outsell Uncharted 2 but it will end up in the same ballpark of 5 million copies lifetime thanks to long legs.

Honestly it's more of the same, won't get the same incredible Metascore and this time it's got much harder competion in the best Holiday season of gaming in history (Creed, Skyrim, COD, Batman, BF3, Darksouls and Rage).


facepalm...neither you or I know of the SP yet...but MP? more of the same? ignorant much?


Don't mind him... He has an agenda against all games that aren't open-world or semi-open-world.

True, sort of. But I firmly believe it wont outsell Uncharted 2. It's not controversial to say it will be slightly outsold by UC2 and end around 5 million?


That's fair. I actually don't think it'll outsell UC2 either.

But you gotta admit, your 'more of the same' comment is uncalled for. The MP is levels ahead of UC2 from what I've played. The games has split screen added. That's great. As for the single-player, we haven't seen much, but I'm sure it's still going to be fresh. The cargo trailer really showed some nice improvements. The biggest one being the fight mechanics. I don't think I've ever seen a fight scene that well implemented in a game before.

Obviously it will have some improvements and changes like you listed but nearly all sequels have those. I am sure an Assassin's Creed fan would list a bunch too when hyping Revelations (especially all the new MP modes). But for me the difference between Uncharted 1 and 2 was already minor.



You use more-of-the-same as a reason that UC3 won't outsell UC2, but then you go and say UC2 wasn't much of an improvement over UC1... even though UC2 greatly outsold UC1. You really aren't helping your case.

Oops.

I thought both Uncharteds stood at around 5 million copies.

I think the only thing that will make or break its chances of matching or going above UC2 sales LT will be PS4 reveal

and I don't think he has played the MP beta..no one in their right mind can say it's more of the same about the MP aspect if they had played it



Same here, I see UC3 overtracking UC2 for most, if not all, of it's lifetime. I just don't think it'll have enough time to catch UC2. We'll see though

no that's like saying will forza bomb since it has half the pre orders...

anyways uncharted 3 is deffiantly undertracked but it will sell 3.5m by years end by around 4.5m/5m end of next year

and dude really??? lack of graphics uncharted 3 is the console graphics king!! u seriously are stupid and multiplayer not popular?? the beta had over 1.5million people this is the biggest troll article ever

its not a troll artcile... its just misguided.  U3 has no chance of bombing, its ludicrous to suggest it has.

btw... forza will have more pre-orders than its most recent iteration...

but will they bundle it has heavy? . it's not like there's a GT6 to do some diruptive bundling against, to make your  games sales comparison looks better.

No I havent played the beta but I also dont think the MP of Uncharted is that big of a selling point. Of course UC2 gained customers thanks to the MP addition but mainly Uncharted is seen as a cinematic adventure and if preexisting PS3 owners havent picked up UC2 they probably wont buy UC3 either.

Anyway, how dramatic is the change in MP?



I would debate your claim, but judging by your knowledge of the Uncharted franchise (which isn't much), I don't think it's worth it.

The preorders are showing it Uncharted 3 will bomb, this game will end up far behind its expectations.


and how do we know there 100% correct remember black ops on the ps3? gears was 100k overtracked i think so wait till week one and it's already double ahead of uncharted 2's preorders and look how much that sold 5m? so by that logic uncharted 3 should so 10m lol jks..

i bet anyone it will be over 4.5m by end of next year and a 7m lt

I will take that bet.
