Who the hell voted for 3 million +?!

Or 2 million + for that matter. Uncharted 2 did less than 3 million in its first ten weeks on the market, smack dab in the middle of the holidays, Uncharted 3 sold about 3 million in seven weeks in the thickest part of the holidays, both these games were massively anticipated sequels of a previous huge success and contained action elements like no other game, Last of Us does not.

How does anyone in the world imagine that this game will destroy the Uncharted franchise in sales in the middle of summer, during the PS3's twilight and without the massive action driving the sales as well it being a brand new IP? It's baffling.



Around the Network

Well, it's already got 316,000 preorders in the US alone with 2 weeks to go so... 1M?



the perfect reviews will boost 1st week sales a lot.



I'll go with 800K; 450k US/300k EU/ 50k JP



i would say 1.1 million. its getting great reviews.



 

Around the Network

550k



hmm.. i'll say around 840,000 copies sold first week.



Around 800,000 no question.



lol at the people who think this will sell 3 million week 1.



I put 500k+, but I'm thinking around 750k sales as most likely, so I really wouldn't be surprised if it hit 800k.

lol at those predicting 3 million. Without mentioning games that only sell in Japan, name a single game where the first week sales were 10x the US preorders with 2 weeks to go.
