Nono I am not trolling. Learn the difference. Trolling is if I say the game outright sucks, doesn't deserve praise, and say Sony and especially the fans are lower human beings in general. 

That sir is not what I am saying. I said that Uncharted 3, while impressive, still has a ways to move Halo type numbers and that Sony was inflating the initial sales with a widespread holiday bundle......all true statements and worded properly offcourse. 


are you dense? how has microsoft not inflated the sales of its games with the bundles i showed before? whats the difference?

he didnt offer precise sales figures reiterating only that it shipped 3.8 million copies to retailers on day one

I'm gonna split up one of the quotes in the OP.

"As we reported, day one we shipped over 3.8 Million copies of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception."

"Week one sales were double that of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, far exceeding our expectations"

One of his sentences is talking the Day 1 shipments. One of his sentences he's talking about Week 1 sales.

Sales.

Exactly.

Just because something is true and worder properly, doesn't mean it's relavent.

It wouldn't be appropriate for someone to enter a Forza 4 thread talking about how it's far from Gran Turismo levels. That would be something everyone obviously knows, with no possible discussion or relavent debate stemming from the statement.

Too many of your posts involves an often irrelavent comparing of one game to a ridiculous standard set by another title. Oftentimes, these are accompanied by statements like earlier about Sony lacking confidence for Uncharted to sell "well" without a bundle. With your definition of "well" being a super selling blockbuster title on the 360, when the actual definition to "well" is closer to 1-2m (which you believe makes a title 'doomed'), or at least the word should be used to describe a figure within reasonable expectations.

Even with all this, you still somehow want to make people believe your intentions are to have a genuine debate about it your claims. Get real. You just enjoy acknowledging that Microsoft has bigger selling games than Sony. I don't know why you like that. Maybe it helps you sleep at night, who knows? I do know it's not intended, or even possible, to spark any meaningful 'debate'.

It would be okay if you did this occasionally, but you do this with nearly every one of your posts about anything Sony related. In fact, I'm willing to bet that all of your posts regarding Sony were guided by pre-established intentions to make Sony seem inferior in any method, relavent or not. Again, I don't know what motivates you to do this or how you find joy from this, but I do know it's people like you, provoking the shallow fanboy wars, that help bring this site closer to shit and further from quality.


It's falling on deaf ears I'm afraid.

Kinda miss the paranoia people used to have about SDF entering every MS thread.

That's really not that far behind Gears of War. I can't imagine any gamer-or Sony exec-expecting THIS kind of success for the series. Congratz to ND, now just finish out with a kart racer to work on something new next-gen.

Well Uncharted 1 and 2 saw more bundling than Gears.

Sony is really all about numbers. They boast about shipped and bundle numbers.

I care for that fact just as much as I care for Forza's overall bundling.  Bundling or not, any exclusive trilogy racking in 10+ million copies shipped/sold is still a remarkable achievement.

Were not talking about Forza. It was a response on how Uncharted is getting close to Gears numbers.

There was a lot of Uncharted bundling. But I don't recall seeing Gears bundling, probably due to it being an extremely violent game.

Please try to maintain a civil discussion without trolling and snide comments. I've refrained from handing out warnings/bans but there's no reason for there to be such heated debate in a perfectly harmless thread.

Just noticed what ethomaz quoted, U3 undertracked about 400k 1st week?



e=mc^2

Gaming on: PS4 Pro, Switch, SNES Mini, Wii U, PC (i5-7400, GTX 1060)

Too bandit wasn't multi platform, it would be 25 million+ units by now. All games should be multi platform...

Ok let me put it this way. Gears 3 and Halo Reach debuted to sales of 3-4 million instantly. Being inflated by a few hundred thousand really doesnt change that. 

But some inflation of hundreds of thousands for Uncharted 3......well thats just makes the difference between a commercially failed PS3 exclusive and an improvement in sales performance. 

MS did it to sell consoles. Sony did it to make Uncharted 3 more relevant in the eyes of society.

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



The man is dedicated to his job, huh?


no it makes perfect sense.

the gears of war bundle doesnt count because it didnt release in the Christmas season, so they clear werent relying on them to sell consoles.

but sony showed weakness by bundling Uncharted at the peak of the shopping season, artificially increasing its sales numbers.

the killzone bundle (though not mentioned) also counts because it released in feburuary, the shortest month of the year, which happen to be closer to Christmas (Dec 25th) than September is, so the still couldnt sell an edequate amount without bundles. and with febuary being so short, they should have been able to sell more copies per week (see: less weeks in the month).

and the gears bundle came with a controller, ensuring that it doesnt count as a bundle to increase sales. the PS3 only came with one controller, that nearly 50% less stuff. which means the gears bundle was hardly a bundle, but more of a sale of a console and an experience that needs no help padding its sales.

its really sad seeing sony resort to these tactics, then "shipping" the game instead of actually selling it.

dont be rediculous.

 

did i do this right?



almost...almost. You forgot the smiley face. Also, you need one insult at the PS3 / Sony / or PS3 fans per paragraph.

i will never be good as the master.

a whats most impressive is somehow he's always found out ways not to get banned. most impressive

Never even got a warning.

As long as you word yourself properly and don't outright troll, its not a bannable offence to not like something and to express it. 

you do both these things, apparently very well.

and Gears of war, Forza, fable, Alan wake, and.... (cant think of any other exclusive) have a ways to go before they reach Gran Turismo type numbers and without the need of bundle inflating sales.

Im just gonna put it out there that GT5 came out 5 and a half years since GT4. Divide GT5 sales by the years in between and you have a franchise that doesn't sell as much as Forza....which has had sales from 3 games in a similar timeframe. Same goes for Gears franchise and Fable. Alan Wake is a new IP so I have no idea why you said that.

If it concerns the subject matter, its relevant as its a forum after all. Not relevant, then don't respond to it. 

It wouldn't be appropriate for someone to enter a Forza 4 thread talking about how it's far from Gran Turismo levels. That would be something everyone obviously knows, with no possible discussion or relavent debate stemming from the statement.

Are you implying that Forza is still beneath GT levels....and also saying that its common knowledge? Well sir its quite obvious that Forza is above GT now for obvious reasons (metacritic and frequency of game releases) but thats neither here or there. Introducing a debate into a friendly thread is fine.....as this is a forum. If someone wants to debate, they can click on the quote button. If not, then no harm done. 

Too many of your posts involve an often irrelavent comparing of one game to a ridiculous standard set by another title. Oftentimes, these are accompanied by statements like earlier about Sony lacking confidence for Uncharted to sell "well" without a bundle.

Well sir I am entitled to an opinion, im sorry if it doesn't compute with you. Again, were in a forum and I am not outright trolling. I personally believe that Uncharted is Sonys 2nd best selling exclusive (1st being GT). It sells nowhere close to MS 2nd best exclusive (Gears). I am entitled to say as an opinion that PS3 gamers don't comparatively care about their biggest exclusives. 

Even with all this, you still somehow want to make people believe your intentions are to have a genuine debate about your claims. Get real. You just enjoy acknowledging that Microsoft has bigger selling games than Sony & want to shove it down people's throat. I don't know why you like that. Maybe it helps you sleep at night, who knows? I do know it's not intended, or even possible, to spark any meaningful 'debate' as you so claim.

We all have a bias and I don't care much for people on forums who try to act like some tree huggers, talking about how they love everything equally. Its human nature to have a favourite, to be competitive, and to be a fan of one particular group over another. The day im wrong is the day sports teams of ANY sport don't anymore loyal supporters. 

It would be okay if you did this occasionally, but you do this with nearly every one of your posts about anything Sony related. In fact, I'm willing to bet that all of your posts regarding Sony were guided by pre-established intentions to make Sony seem inferior in any method, relavent or not.

I don't know what to tell you. I don't like Sony. I find pleasure in reinforcing my beliefs whenever relevant industry news comes out. But I do so in a way that doesn't get me banned. I word myself as properly as I can and support my claims instead of outright putting down whatever it is. It isn't a bannable offense to not like something and to talk about your views on it, even if it seems unwarranted from you. If you don't agree, then ignore. If not, then quote me and Ill get back to you as I am doing now.
