bolded: Actually, yes. At least a million. The PS3 version has shipped 7 million as of April 16th at the point vgchartz has the game at 4.75mil sold and I think nobody really thinks that this game still had over 2 million units on shelves 10 months after release.

 

"Hi guys! I’ve got a quick update to share with you. Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. just announced that PS4 has cumulatively sold through more than 7.0 million units globally as of April 6th, 2014. PS4 software sales are another bright spot, with more than 20.5 million copies sold at retail and PlayStation Store worldwide as of April 13th, 2014.

On behalf of the entire global team at PlayStation, I want to thank you for your unprecedented support and for making PS4 your next-generation console of choice. We couldn’t have done this without you! And please keep the feedback coming: we are listening.

On that note, we’ll have some great new details to share with you regarding our upcoming PS4 system software update very soon. Stay tuned! (update: kablammo)"

- DUDE! That's PS4 sales not TLOU! xD

Lol, goddamn wrong link

It was as of the middle of July, that still means about 2 million (a little less if we take digital sales into account) on shelves over a year after release.

I admit I was wrong. Does that 7 million include the digital sales or just retail?

Anyways Uncharted 3 seems to be also heavily undertracked...

Yeah includes digital and Uncharted 3 might very well be undertracked too.

"Uncharted 2 & 3 both have big lead over TLOU."

The PS3 version of the Last of Us is tracking much higher then Uncharted 2 and it was keeping up with U3.


Can I have official numbers from somewhere? I'm drawing my conclusions on OP's starting post charts. :D


www.vgchartz.com/tools/game_comparison.php?reg=Global&ending=Cumulative&game[]=Uncharted+2%3A+Among+Thieves+(PS3)+[28733]&game[]=Uncharted+3%3A+Drake's+Deception+(PS3)+[49054]&game[]=The+Last+of+Us+(PS3)+[70350]&game[]=

As you can see The Last of Us is clearly selling at a more rapid pace than Uncharted 2 while it was tracking closely to Uncharted 3. This of course does not include the PS4 version. Additionally, it is widely suspected that TLoU is significantly undertracked on the PS3 but that is a matter for another discussion.


So are you saying that TLOU is undertracked by a million? This chart only proves my point, TLOU momentarily surpassed Uncharted 3 in weekly comparison because of Christmas sales, but Uncharted 3 regained the weekly lead with its second Holiday bump. And the reason why it looks undertracked is because of the differing release dates Uncharted in October/November and TLOU in June. So the curves don't quite match.

Now you may say that the PS4 version terminated a lot of the PS3 version's Holiday sales this year, which might be true... partially. "Partially" meaning that PS4 is a lot more "sexy" Console and it is a lot easier to sell 2+ million on PS4 than on PS3. Just look at GTA V on PS4. Even mediocre games like Knack can reach 1 million. So nobody can just add the PS3 and PS4 versions sales and say that TLOU would have sold more on PS3.

Of course I could be wrong about everything and TLOU is horribly undertracked, but until I have solid proof on my hands UC2 & UC3 both have sold better on PS3. :)


That's exactly what I'm saying. When Sony announced that TLoU had sold over 7 million copies it wasn't even at 5 million on this site. Even taking digital sales and shipped / unsold copies into account there is still a serious tracking issue with TLoU on this site. Also, I never suggested simply adding the original and remastered versions' sales together (it would be unnecessary anyway). So again, TLoU is just as popular as Uncharted, maybe even moreso.

Yeah, I was speaking generally about the PS3&PS4 versions, I can see that you are smarter than that. ;) I was also provided with the more correct estimates regarding TLOU sales. Anyways there is still that Uncharted 3 first day 3.8 million mystery to solve. Any guesses on how much that game is undertracked?

TLOU is super-undertracked on PS3. We know it sold over 7m units long ago.

I'd go with TLOU 2. I see both games selling a shit ton of units though.
