You really can't talk about legs right now, LBP to LBP2 is proof of that, obviously the latter isn't going to come anywhere near the firsts lifetime sales.
That said U3 won't do that bad in comparison. Could be totally wrong but I just don't see it reaching the dizzy heights of 6 mill lifetime ...

In all seriousness dude. There is nothing to worry. This is one of sony's two big flagship franchises. It is going to be fine in the long term. Uncharted just doesn't sell like microsoft exclusives pulling big numbers in the first two weeks and than slowing down. It is more like Nintendo games where the games just keep on selling on somewhat consistant basis. This was bound to happen in the most crowded holiday season i can remember in a long time. Cheer up and play the games. There are people getting paid much more than all of us combined *making an assumption about most users here including myself* that have to worry about its numbers. Cheers :)

I am offended by this
we'll know for sure when Nov. NPD drops in mid Dec. or if sony announce that they need to ship more on top of the 3.8M
i personally feel that it is undertracked but to a degree that it wont really matter (few 100k) when/if corrected
either way i feel that the game series is a disappointment after DF mainly b/c of the gameplay switch and UC3 will most likely not achieve the sales that i and others boasted about here on VGC earlier. tbh i knew it do about 3.5 by years end way before most the 4M thread was made on UC2s thread anniversary and decided to double the amount from the epic 2M thread also made by me, b/c 3.5M is kinda cheap to say and wanted to go with a solid number with no decimal point, so it was going to be either 3 or 4M so i decided to take a leap a faith and go with 4M
i feel that instead of targeting UC soley we need to target SONY exclusives altogether this gen, they are to me a disappointment that "needs to be talked about" alot of the exclusives failed to meet sales and score expectations as well as user expectations ie. KZ, GT5, Resistance, Socom ect. and alot never even made to release getaway, 8 days and ubisofts exclusive

Its really simple...most people want to play MW3, battlefield 3 or Skyrim more than they want to play Uncharted 3.
Uncharted is a big game....but its not as big as the above mentioned.
i didnt even mention games like Batman:AC, Gears 3 (for multi console owners, AC:revelations, etc.
Uncharted 3 had a huge drop in NA. Battlefield 3 on 360 is now currently outselling Uncharted 3.

I fully agree about the Sony exclusives not meeting expectations argument, however i think its safe to say that Uncharted is the exception to that. U3 will cross 5 million LT thats for sure, and in doing so meet or exceed U2 sales, which is a success in my opinion. Perhaps not the growth some of use here wanted to see...but a success none the less.
I look at all the other exclusives of Sony: Motorstorm, Little Big planet, Killzone, Resistance, etc. the design decisions made for those games were a bit off. They lack accessibility. Motorstorm was unique. Little Big Planet platforming feels floaty, and concentrates more on designing stages (not something most people like to do), killzone 2's laggy controls really dented the prospects of the franchise, and Resistance is another unique game. All of those franchises have a shrinking fan base.
But i think Uncharted and God of war 3 (an already established franchise) got it right this gen. God of war 3 was never gonna sell too much, and Uncharted is already a success with a solid fanbase. To be honest uncharted is looking like the only new franchise Sony can take into the next gen.
Gran turismo is a whole other story on its own 
I also think we jumping the gun on Uncharted 3 sales performance, this is only second week prelimenary data afterall, and its facing some heavy competition.

agreed bout GOW and UC and believe 3 can get to as high as 6M, UC is really the break out of this gens PS exclusives, no one was expecting it to be what it is now when DF released and even prior, can see it go to next gen but wouldnt mind seeing another franchise similar in gameplay but with a more mature and serious tone and less humor and wit
GOW is a continuation from last gen though and while impressed with its performance other than UC and even heavy rain there hasnt been any new "things", or more importantly things that can compete and/or offer what sony biggest competition MS has offered this gen, at least by my personal tastes

When will you people learn? If you put faith (i.e. realistic expectations) in Sony, then you WILL be dissapointed. If BHR can accept this, then everyone should.
I think my original prediction of 5 million is still pretty accurate.
