1. You contradict this point with #5. Nobody visits metacritic. The only review sites that matter are IGN and GameSpot. 1up, Kotaku, GameTrailers also have credibility but IGN and GS are by far the most viewed and respected sites.

5. They had TV Commercials for inFAMOUS all over the NBA Finals and NHL Stanley Cup finals.

Most likely less then the 1st Uncharted unless it get bundled.

Don't forget that Resistance 2 is selling in slower pace then the first one.

1. most gamers(hardcore) use metacritic as a source.(not #5, which i consider casuals),  and i played all the jaks, and i was sorely disapointed with 2 and (especially)3

5.Ok, but they still do not advertise nearly as much s they need to. i still to this day have not seen one commercial for it(and i watch alot(a whole lot) of tv.

1. Hardcore gamers make up a very small percentage of consumers. I never even heard of metacritic until I started posting here.

5. Commercials during huge NBA and NHL games... I also saw commercials for it on MTV. They also advertised it during the trailers for the Terminator:Salvation movie. Uncharted 2 will be advertised atleast equal to InFAMOUS, if not more.

2 to 3 million sounds fine...expecting more seems a bit delusional to me, specially given how are Motorstorm and Resistance 2 doing compared to their predecessors...and I'm sure that if you overestimate it'll be used as a way to say "it flopped!!!" by some users.

Resistance:FOM sold a lot better because it was a launch title and nothing else was out for Ps3 at that time. People also knew that Killzone2 would be coming out just a few months after Resistance 2, so many people waited for KZ2.

Uncharted 2 has some HUGE improvements.. probably more than any other sequel this gen. Unlike R2, it won't have any competition in it's genre as it's pretty much the only game of it's kind on the market right now.

Exactly.  Why does PS3 fanboys always expect high numbers?  People were saying Killzone 2 will hit over 4.5 LTD, Infamous over 3.5 LTD and other outragous predictions.  This is getting really old on this site.

WRONG.

Most ppl were predicting 1mil to 2 mil for InFamous and it looks like that was a pretty accurate prediction.

@infamous

1&5. metacritic is the boss. the hardcorez you it like a bible. they(hardcorez) do not even read(most just look at the number) the reviews. and when someone walks into gamestop and aks about a game thay are going to most likely quote form metacritic.

if i had not been part of this site then i would have never of even heard of this game. and therefor would have never even looked into it.(because i have never seen one commercial for infamous). and even so sony does not advertise like they need to.

off topic: its 1:30 i am going to bed goodnight.(i am only posting this so you don't think i ran away)

no PS3 price cut = will not reach the first game sales

PS3 price cut = has a big chance reaching and over selling the original

Uncharted - R:FOM - Motorstorm were one of the few good games back in the early life of the PS3 so the got a lot of sales because there weren't anything else but look at R2 and M:PR not as high

what happened ??

COD - Burnout - Battlefield - Grid - GTA4 and MGS4 happened
