Uncharted 3 grabs top 3 and sales jump

so your saying with all these articles uncharted 3 only managed 100k more then it's pre orders? ahahahah NO

Dude, you're taking this too seriously. But I can see you're new here, so I'll let the suspense build up :P


;)



Around the Network

I'm not surprised. I heard a rumour from a friend's friend's mother's granny's lover's dog's stalker's sister about the pre-orders being over 10 million and then 9.5 million of them cancelled their pre-orders because of that very reliable and well-written review by The A.V. Club.

500k isn't too bad for a garbage game published by a garbage company. After playing through the campaign a couple of times and pouring quite a few hours into the multiplayer, I feel qualified to say that Uncharted 3 shouldn't have even sold 500 copies. Worst Game of the Year candidate, for sure.


I know right. I feel guilty for playing through Uncharted 3 (~ten hours) and Uncharted 1 (about the same) in the last two days.

I need to see a doctor. I'm now also a headshot master, apparently.



I'm the world! Mwehahahahahahahaaaa AHAHAHAHAHA!



Bad sales for a bad game. If it was good, it wouldn't have flopped so hard (critically or commercially). The fact is good games sell. Examples include MW3, Skyrim, BF3, Batman, Gears, & the list goes on. UC3 is simply on a lower level in terms of quality.



Around the Network

I have to say as much as Uncharted 3 has been hyped all year long and being the #1 PS3 title this year the preview of 550K in NA is well kinda low. I know it is a 30% improvement over Uncharted 2, but that should be the case Uncharted 2 brought in a alot of people looking to continue the series. So should have expected a more front loaded release. Though it isnt a flop.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

I know why Sony called it "uncharted". Because if you check any reputable sales Chart, you'll discover that Uncharted is not on the chart, making it...uh...un-charted!

It will do just fine. The competition this holiday is insane. While I can see a lot of people being turned off by U3's slow pace (in the beginning) and overly familiar elements, I have no doubt that the game's overall quality will make it a success. It'll reach 5 million, eventually.


I agree with you, slow start? Meh is what I have to say, I mean it's Uncharted people! 5m+ soon enough give it time guys.



           

After those couple of bad reviews, I had to cancel my preorder. I bet many readers of these forums did the same. The thing is it was doomed from the beginning because so many knew it would be coming from Sony. Time for Sony to just pull out before they birth another monstrosity.



Still didn't pick it up. I'll borrow it from my nephew as soon as he finishes it. Actually, the reviews were so bad that he told me that he doesn't even want to finish it. If the young kids think it's not cool ... I do not want.

Plus, those sales are horrible.
