Uncharted 2, it will sell about 3m

Then again, are we looking at the sales high from the nuts fanboys, or the more sensible

The OP is asking about system seller predictions, not game sales predictions.  Unless Uncharted 2 will sell 3 million PS3s? 

U2 for short, just as long as Bono isn't in the game ... or we get to shoot him. 

Silly me, I think UAT is a better TLA.

Anyway, Gran Turismo is the only thing that will move consoles world wide unless we see MGS 5 soon. Final Fantasy XIII will move plenty consoles, certainly in Japan, and probably elsewhere as well

No game will be a system sell for any system unless the system is around $150,i cannot see anyone saying "hey lets go buy a boogaboogastation360 for halozone2:return of lolkitty".

They would how ever say "Hmm this system is $150 and it does have a few good games,i could play besides halozone2:return of lolkitty",The true system seller is a $150 price tag....Unless it has "Nintendo" on it :)

 

Not really, System Sellers DO exist, guess why i bought a PS3? for Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

Guess why i bought a Xbox 360? Star Ocean: The Last Hope.

So... even the some of them may not have a big impact, System sellers are real. :P

 

Probably a bad example, since a system seller is a game that moves consoles upon release.

By your example, Uncharted 2 is a system seller because 2 million (random figure) of the current PS3 owners could say they bought it just to play that game.

You probably hurt the chances of VS being a system seller by reducing the amount of system sales it'll generate after it's release by 1 console

 

OT: It'll be Gran Turismo. I don't see any other game (at this point, on any platform) changing the console race/weekly sales permanently.

@ calamity, why is that not a system seller, it has moved consoles. It is not a direct system seller, but it is still moving systems

GRAN TURISMO 5!!

I don't think so, but then again Sony may have actually kept a few big games secret.



Tease.

That...makes no sense... at the end of the day i bought the PS3 for Versus XIII. therefore a console has been moved. end of story.

I think his idea was that you didn't count because your sale was untrackable due to the weird time it took place.  But as you say, it still exists, even if they can't count it.

Oh man ... just noticed your "FFXIII: I've never played it but I already love it" gif.

I wish I'd known about it when we were putting together twesterm's "lost a bet" sig.
