Forums - Gaming - Uncharted will Sell 5m+ No Problem at all. By the Voice of the Community!

*facepalm*

No, for the love of god, no.
As much as I would love for it to sell 5 million, it won't, plain and simple.



Around the Network

Forget game of the year, forget game of the century. Uncharted 2 is a game that only comes along once!

It's lines like this that make us all just face palm everything you say. Stop hyping games to such unbelievable levels, it's not good for the game and it's not good for the players. Especially considering you haven't even played the game yet. You did the exact same thing with Resistance 2 saying it would outsell GoW2 week 1 and we all saw how that turned out. Just enjoy the game and stop trying to make it into more than what it is.

I don't even know why I wrote that out, your megaman for god sakes, no matter what anyone says you will never change :/



                                           

                      The definitive evidence that video games turn people into mass murderers

U are a cool guy Megaman, u have spirit.



F.U. Fun University.

Funny thing is, reviews have been saying the same thing.

So how about this community makes up its mind, are we going to use reviews to gauge the quality of a game or are we going to play it and make up our own mind? Reviews also say GTA IV is one of the best games of all time too, would you agree?

Making a statement like that is just stupid without even having played the game not to mention there are many many websites left that need to review it. Not saying it's going to be bad by any means but Killzone 2 was in the same situation early on because all the big websites reviewed it so early. Besides do you really want to go into a game with the expectation that it is one of the best games of all time, cause all your going to do is set yourself up for disappointment as you notice every little flaw.

Based my thoughts on the beta that I played, add to that the fact that the single-player will deliver. you cant tell by playing the mp that naughty dog has created a masterpiece.

I'm just letting you know how the reviews feel. I can't say if I agree or not, as I haven't played it yet. In GTA IV's case, it was't up to the reviews standards for me, though that was an exception. MGS4 and Killzone 2 both exceeded what I expected from them.

Subjectivity is a great thing

Which is exactly what I'm saying. It's better to go into a game with unknown expectations and let the game wow you instead of going into a game hearing that it's the best thing since the wheel from everyone just to be disappointed that it didn't live up to what others said.

Thank you megaman, that is all you needed to say. There was no need to say anything about it being the best game of all time.

In terms of sales I think it can do 4 million if Sony advertise it well. 5 million is a little out of reach I think but who knows, with the combination of the price drop, holiday sales and exceptional reviews this game could surprise us all with a high level of sustained sales throughout the holiday and beyond. The only thing I see that could be detrimental to its sales are the large volume of AAA releases coming out in early 2010 as well as MW2 but I feel like U2 is in a unique enough category for it to not be too affected by the other games.

4M may seem more realistic, but I think the quality and word of mouth will see this game sell 5m+

4 million is guaranteed. 5 million is possible.

What?... you really think U2 could break 4m? thats quite a risky bet since PS3 exclusives never sales commonly over 2.5m so far...

Im willing to bet it does 3m max.
