Americans don't seem to be bothered as much for Uncharted 3, look at the drop in sales compared to Uncharted 2, it's a million behind, whereas the franchise has grown with each game in the EU (Yeah, only just topping the sales of the second game, but shush, this is the US we're talking about!)

What they should do, is bundle the new PS3 with the Uncharted trilogy, that'd be a better idea and give more value to the bundle... and raise the sales of all three games!

Anyway, as for Uncharted 3 reaching 10? Absolutely no way, even with this bundle I can only see it reaching 6.5-7m, infact, if Uncharted 2 carries on selling, I honestly can't even see it beating it.

It's ahead in USA, launches aligned, and will get further ahead with the new bundle I think.

Vastly ahead in Europe though!

its also around .5 million undertracked. according to the numbers sony released a couple months ago.

number sony releasd were shipped to retailer not sold to consumer

what an estute observation you made. Its a good thing i took into account for that.

here's what i said 5 months ago.

this is what i said in the uncharted thread

17.3 million shipped
14.4 million VGC sales
Uncharted: GA: 0.53 million
Uncharted 1: 4.21 million
Uncharted 2: 5.56 million
Uncharted 3: 4.17 million
2.9 million on shelves
seems legit.

any way its probably 2 million undertracked/not reported digital sales.
with less than 2 million Vitas in the wild (1.9m) i will guess that Uncharted: GA has shipped ~1.32 million
that leaves 16 million shipped for Uncharted 1, 2, and 3. VGC has it at 13.9 million.
its likely sold 15 million. so 1 million undertracked for 1, 2, 3.
so my guess is sales really look like this:
Uncharted 1: 4.41 million (.2 million under)
Uncharted 2: 5.81 million (.25 million under)
Uncharted 3: 4.72 million (.55 million under)
so that would leave 1.1 million on selves for the 3 games

8 milliom possible.

The unique exclusive on PS3 to sell over 10 million is GT5.





10 M no way. If it get bundled like hell for the next yeras i think it will only mangage to make 8 m.

It will make 6 million for sure and maybe 7 million (depending how long it will het bundled)

Why can't Sony bundle more deserving games, the Uncharted franchise is so mediocre. My theory for why it's fairly popular and often liked is because it appeals to children, philistines, people who like shallow stories and mind-numbingly easy gameplay, many gamers nowadays fit into these categories, all they care about is spectacle over substance.
 


Perhaps the first (and last) time someone used the word "philistines" to describe the fans of a particular game--+10 points for its usage.

(Though somewhat ironic for someone with a GOW avatar, but I digress.)

@phenom08
your delusional trolling is really getting annoying

Telling the truth isn't trolling, if it bothers you then read on.

According to a Nielsen poll from 2009 (latest i could find):

the largest percentage of usage on the wii was boys age 6 - 11

xbox 360 was 12 - 17 year old males

for ps3  the age group is 18 - 24 

I always thought this was common knowledge. Do you have anything to back up your claim?

This changes month to month lol, and i loved how you ignored the Wii also having the highest amount of adults playing. Why did you only look at percentages and not even consider absolutes?

10m is a stretch unless it's bundled forever, imo. 8m is possible, I thought it was gonna hit 6m on its own anyway.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Yeah this is what I think, the only PS3 exclusive that can sell over 10m is Gran Turismo 5, but it's going to need bundling too, there's no way it can do it on its own, which is a shame...

GT5 should sell 10 million without heavily bundle... the new Academy Edition will put it near 9 million at the end of this year.

What I want to know is why they aren't bundling the new slim with GT5 as well. FIFA+GT5 would be killer in Europe

I think is because there are a new version of GT5 releasing this week in Europe... bundle it now is nonsense.

 

 

 

this will help to =)
