Uncharted,LBP & Heavenly Sword was all new IPs + smaller install base!

Killzone was there but new on the PS3 + FPS & PS3 are not the best team (Resistance was very heavy bundled so this dont count for me)

Now we got Uncharted 1 at 2.5 mill and i expect at least 2 mill of this owners will buy Uncharted 2 + bigger userbase + the big big big reviews from all over the world + better advertising from Sony + bundle and and...it will easily do 3 mill IMO!

Thank you!

PS3 exclusives can do well, look at MGS4, most of us thought it wouldn't manage to cross MGS3, but its on its way to 5 Million

I still don't know how it sold so much lol......marketing was ok, game was amazing, maybe the brand name helped a lot.

Uncharted 2 deserves these sales megaman.2. is talking about, but looking at past trend (I mean lets use the websites sales tools) I don't see it doing anywhere near that mark.

THe problem is haters of Uncharted 2 will say it "disappointed in sales" because of threads like these, that I do not want.

@TT Makaveli

Userbase isn't essential.....it is upto a certain extent.

But remember FF12, MGs3 & GT4 all launched when PS2 was on a higher userbase, but still sold less than FF10, MGS2 & GT3.

It varies from game to game.....lets see how that plays out with Uncharted.

3 Million predictions are cool.....I'm  sticking with 2 million

Let us hope it surpasses both of our expectations.

With this kind of hype i would say 4 is a safe bet. 5 might be pushing it, but who knows? It may ride the coattails of all the new PS3 owners coming in.

I predict 3-4 million. But I won't be too suprised if it sells a million more, or a million less.

@OP
1. so basically now Uncharted 2 replaced MGS4 as the greatest game of all -time now?
2. Also, Uncharted has become a more popular franchise so that Uncharted 2 will outsell MGS4?

It will be interesting.

High scores do not mean high sales.
Good advertising + high scores = high sales.

Is there any advertising campaign in NA?

I think, Uncharted 2 could have Gears of War level sales, since the game is just like geow in it`s time -> some incredible gaming experience.
Also, Uncharted 2 thanks to great first game, already has 2 mln. fanbase. So it will be easier for Uncharted 2 sell better.

So, my prediction - gears of war level sales.

As a matter of fact im leaving the house right now to buy uncharted 1.

I'm buying a PS3 for this game so there you go :P It's a system seller!

So how are we gonna decide the bet? 1 month sig control as usual, but which sales number and time frame to use?

I can either do a "3 million within 1.5 years" bet, or "4 million lifetime". U choose.

I suggest you write in your home page:

"Bet 30 Sep 2009 with Slimebeast about Uncharted 2 PS3 sales:

Seraphic_Sixaxis bets Slimebeast that Uncharted 2 will have sold less than 3 million copies worldwide 1.5 years after release. If Seraphic is correct, he gains avatar and signature control for 1 month and vice versa."


And I write:

"Bet 30 Sep 2009 with Seraphic_Sixaxis about Uncharted 2 PS3 sales:

Slimebeast bets Seraphic_Sixaxis that Uncharted 2 will have sold at least 3 million copies worldwide 1.5 years after release. If Slimebeast is correct, he gains avatar and signature control for 1 month and vice versa."

Sounds about right, mind if i copy and paste cause' im lazy? and yeah i'll take the 1.5 years bet, so like 2011-ish?
