Forums - Sales - Uncharted is now a bigger IP Than Zelda

The list of Uncharted games has only one portable, while the Zelda games have only two console titles. Historically Zelda handheld titles have not sold as well as the home console ones. That, and Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword have kinda been filler titles while Nintendo figures out what to do with Zelda.

The meaningful comparison will come when both the PS4's Uncharted and Zelda Wii U have been on the market for a year.

for the sake of nintendo fans...lets hope that no one makes a thread about that :P

Well, obviously I have a rooting interest in this debate

But, seriously, you need to factor in other criteria, not just sales figures. I'd argue Zelda remains the more relevant franchise, the more discussed franchise, the more acclaimed franchise, and the more beloved franchise.


More relevant to Nintendo , which itself is becoming irrelevant in todays industry

More dicussed franchise? How so?

The more acclaimed franchise? Factually wrong.

More beloved? Highly subjective

More relevant: I don't see any games or game developers that show or express that they have been influenced in any way by the Uncharted series.

The Tomb Raider reboot definitely has some Uncharted influences.

Actually, Uncharted definitely has some Tomb Raider influences. The original Tomb Raiders had a far larger impact on the industry than UC has had in this day and age.

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

"To be fair, I left out the best selling new Zelda game that has only been out for a month and a half, and tons of sales of Twilight Princess on another platform, and the bundled Wind Waker HD, but included bundled Uncharted versions.... not to mention that I left out the first 20 years of Zelda games."

What the heck is fair about any of those arbitrary decisions? Wait: they aren't arbitrary. They are designed to give more credit to Uncharted.

Can't you just say 'Uncharted is the fastest-growing 1st party new IP of the last generation," which would have been true and is an awesome achievement, without stooping to ridiculous comparisons you aren't even actually making with all your omissions and goal-post moving?

Golden Abyss is for vita as well, and OP mentioned it in the thread.

That I can almost agree on! Except... The Wii franchise... But other than that! Well, maybe Forza... But other than THAT!

The real reason is it doesn't help him prove his point. I could chop off my legs and arms and get liposuction and say 'See, I weigh less than I did ten years ago!' but that isn't a useful comparison.

Haha! Even my generous accomodation is innacurate. :) Nice.
