People are being overly mean and namecalling and I apologize for that, but you have to know that all the numbers you just mentioned for shipped aren't even close to true.  We have total shipped numbers for all of those platforms you mentioned.  You need to stop pulling numbers from where the sun doesn't shine, because like most things that come from that particular area, they'll just be shit, and someone will call you on it around here.

edit: for reference here's Kowenicki's thread that gives shipped numbers for all of the consoles: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=129135&page=1

and as you can tell your numbers aren't even close.  yes shipped numbers do matter for certain applications, they're the only hard and fast numbers out there that aren't an estimate of sales over a huge number of stores.  They're a good barometer for how well prediected the sales to customer numbers are.  

good numbers. you can't deny that.

hmmm... 3.8million shipped..

...if we extrapulate that for weekly sales, we can estimate that is SOLD at least 5million first week, likely 6million....

...Which means it sold about 4million Day 1...

...Using that figure, it likely sold 10million within the first hour...

...which equates to at least 30 million preorders....

...which should translate into at least 100 Million units first week....

VGChartz needs major adjusting!

Slimbeast has this thing against Uncharted ...hence the random wtfdoesthatevenmean comment ..

and good to see you're still alive! :P

So basically, Sony has sold 3.8m copies of Uncharted 3, which means > $100m in revenue, which means profit!

So everyone should be happy!

But I would really wish that publishers stopped announced these hugely inflated figures of their launch day shipments. Most of these copies probably aren't even in shops, just in boats or trucks. Batman AC shipped 4.1m copies despite VGC saying it had sold around 2m in its first week, so Uncharted is only a little under tracked

What is this? We've dealt with this already for years. Sony, MS, Nintendo shipped games ( which is sold to retailers) for most of their PR numbers. That goes for most companies. Shipping 3.8 million copies is great, it gives you an idea of demand.

According to some people here, Uncharted is as big as Call of Duty on the PS3.

Incorrect. They all have their internal tracker independent of NPD, Enterbrain, etc. The reason NPD is used is because it's the standard for the industry and wildly accepted. Even major publishers have their own internal trackers with major retailers, it's common industry practice, if you knew anything about the industry you would know that instead of making stuff up like they are facts.

HAHAHAHAHA
