Wonder how that breaks down,

4.3M Uncharted?
4.9M - Uncharted 2
3.8m - Uncharted 3

Perhaps we have Uncharted 1 undertracked, and Uncharted 2 overtracked. Given they shipped 4.9m Uncharted 2 end of Sep and we have 4.97M sold ...

Well he said over 13m. And we have Uncharted 2 at 5.14m actually. I'd say: 4M Uncharted, 5.3M Uncharted 2, 3.8M Uncharted 3. That makes 13.1M

sounds about right

so it seems as though VGC has it pretty close for Uncharted 1 and 2.

i still think they have Uncharted 3 undertracked.

Its worth noting that Sony has bundled Uncharted 3 this holiday "Forza Motorsport" style.

However MS likes to see their exclusive sell on its own for the holidays and then bundles it later. Sony it seems, bundled their biggest game of the year from day 1.

While many like to say its just Sony being good to its consumers with a great bundle, it seems that Sony is trying to inflate the sales of the series off the bat, not confident in its ability to sell well on its own out the gate. AAA games are meant to be system sellers without being bundled.....right away......hence the term system seller.

A great milestone, not impressive compared to Halo or anything, but Sony has the beginnings of having one mascot based exclusive that actually delivers on 5 million sales per game. Too many Sony Ips are doomed to a 1-2 million lifetime sales performance.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
