You guys should know by know not to bother with the sales guy. Every Playstation-positive milestone is twisted into a negative perspective by him because M$ is king.

So, as much as the 360 version of Black Ops? That's pretty damn good.

My friend is a Vtuber, check him out.

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.

lol

If some of you didn't notice it said in the article Uncharted 3 SOLD double Uncharted 2's FW in its FW. Looks like we're really starting to under track it. And I'm starting to think Uncharted DF is overtracked after reading this sales article

If this is right... Uncharted 3 is undertracked for the opening Week (And thus, probably every other Week).

If it opened to double the Uncharted 2 numbers, then Week 1 of U3 is under by about 400k. I just noticed too... It had no boost at all from Black Friday in the US... lol.

As long as there is reason (With actual "evidence") to say a game/console is over/undertracked, then you can't be banned.

Here, we have someone from Sony saying Uncharted 3 opened to double the sales Uncharted 2 saw. VGChartz numbers say otherwise.

If I get banned for that, I'm gonna ask for Maxwell back on the team.
