Uncharted is going to quietly shift units like motorstorm. Expect it to hit 3-4 million lifetime.

3 mil? ya right, its doing really good, but not that good.

I'm with stof, but both of us are Canadian, so can't vouch for in the US. But here there were a TON of Uncharted ads, I'm sure a lot must have been on US stations though.

You guys really saw a lot of Uncharted ads up here? I must have only seen it advertised 2 or 3 times. Heavenly Sword and Ratchet and Clank I saw literally every commercial break though.

I'm in the UK, and the most ads I saw were for Uncharted (Cod is miles ahead though) then Singstar, then Ratchet, and then HS

i saw afew commericals about uncharted here in canada.

but your right they shouldve hyped it up like they did with lair or gears of war.

i always see xbox 360 ads and rarely any sony ads. the only sony ads i see is when i watchchampions league soccer. they have massive playstation boards. or maybe its cause i watch to many american channels

I saw tons of ads for Uncharted. It's probably the PS3 exclusive game I've seen advertised the most

Same here. I live in Finland, and there's still a crapload of Uncharted ads everywhere.

Not sure what the confusion is about though. The PS3 has a very low userbase, and a game like Uncharted reaching a million on it is pretty impressive. Some people need to lower their estimates if they're disappointed.

I saw very few Uncharted ad's.

compared to millions of Ps3 ad's
