That is a awesome news for ALL GAMER = ) Gratulation Naughty Dog.
Big AAA-GAMES with high quality / expenses (gameplay, story, charactere, settings, soundtracks). Love to detail. That's Uncharted 4. Please more of such incredible games =)
Once the formalities of "Congrats Naughty Dog xDD :DDD" and other nonsense was out of the way, I noticed that many NeoGAF members share the sentiment that sales are a bit lower than expected or, dare I say, disappointing, and these are not trolls or juniors, these are sales age regulars.
Not sure why everybody is so staunchly opposed to the notion that Uncharted 4 may have underperformed. Is it so strange to think that perhaps a PlayStation exclusive could outperform an Xbox exclusive like Halo or Gears? Despite the massive success of the console and Sony's best efforts, Uncharted 4 still failed to perform above or on par with either of these games, or many of the multiplatform games of this gen and last.

Oh god.

Can you please post a link to that Twitter comment? The one you're referencing, where it says this really happened one time, and for the US only? Because BLOPS 3 has not been making up 90% of the hardware bundles for Ps4 since its release edit - you keep referencing the 90% number like its a consistent thing and not an anomaly, and then drawing comparison to uncharted 4. I don't think THAT is fair. |
PlayStation 4 Call of Duty: Black Ops III bundle accounted for more than 90% of all PlayStation 4 units sold in the US last month.

It has been the default bundle ever since the Battlefront bundle and NDC bundles were phased out in Dec/Jan. It's also a prominent bundle in other countries.
My point is any bundle that is accounting for huge amounts of sales like this would cause software sales of the game to be skewed in comparison to other games.

Can you please take your agenda elsewhere. GAF presumably.

I'm only seeing one GAF junior named Rexsod that shares the same sentiment. Actually, considering you said you have been on GAF for two years and Rexsod's account began in 2014, it's really just one person.

Really ? Uncharted 4 sold in 1 week what Dark Souls 3 shipped throught all plataforms in 1 and a half month.
Guys please just let Mazzy be....he feels different(and is free to do so) and is not changing his stance no matter what. No point in discussing that anymore with him. As I said in the Amazon thread just agree to disagree.
The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

That may have been your point but you were backing it and twisting data in such a way that made it sound like the black ops 3 bundle has been 90% of all ps4 sales since it released, and I don't think it's fair of you to not fully disclose the fact that A) this happened one month and B) the one time that did happen, it was not worldwide but only in the US. That's very relevent information to mention when you're trying to talk about Sony "padding" sales of uncharted by bundling.
I actually think the opposite, that Sony would want to levy uncharted 4 by bundling in order to boost Ps4 hardware sales. They themselves have said that they are focusing on install base above everything else, so my idea is at least somewhat grounded in reality where as you're trying to roll with the agenda that Sony would want to make the de facto ps4 SKU come with uncharted just to say "Hey, look uncharted sold a whole bunch by us artificially inflating it's sell through numbers!" From a business perspective, that is frankly stupid and there are numerous legitimate reasons why they would want to pair the two. You seem to be the only one here downplaying and trying to iterate that Uncharted is a sales disappointment. It's not. It's the fastest selling PlayStation exclusive EVER. The only people apparently disappointed are the ones that won't get to play it
