We will see, lets hope ya do prove me wrong. its nice to hear, and nice to say, but to see it, even in 1.5 years time is just to good to be true. it damn well may get near the 3m mark but i dunno... inFamous and KZ2 are very... very fact worthy evidents that PS3 exclusives are truly great in Quality most of them like Uncharted but never seem to see Halo or Near Halo-like Sales. which is quite sad. :/

I can already sense the bookmarking d*uches that will rub this on the PS3 fans. Not to mention the possible flame bait threads that will spawn from this.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Who , exactly is buying these 5 million + copies? 

Quality of game only takes you so far. You need a heavy marketing campaign, well established brand name, or some combination of the two to see larger than life sales. There is no way that you can say "this game is perfect, thus it must sell", because there are plenty of other top notch games that did not see the numbers it deserved. In eastern culture, those brand names are Dragon Quest, Pokemon, Final Fantasy, and possibly Monster Hunter. The Persona games, which are regarded now as some of the best RPG's to be released, don't even sell as well as they should. 

In the West, the brand names that dominate are Metal Gear, GT, Halo, Gears of War, Call of Duty, Madden, Guitar Hero/Rock Band, and a smattering of others. The point is, that these games can push out millions of copies based strictly on name, without much advertising at all.

The problem with Uncharted, is twofold

1) The first game had a somewhat limited following. It's sales numbers are nothing to sneeze at, of course, but it definitely appealed to a specific audience of gamer.

2) There's no advertising for it, at all. 

We all cite Metacritic and Eurogamer as the bible here on VGCHARTZ, but in the real world, that doesn't happen at all. Consumers base their purchases on word of mouth, flashy ads, brand name, what their friends are playing online, etc etc. 

So i'll ask again. Where, exactly are these buyers going to come from? The best exclusive on the PS3 is steadily approaching 5 million copies, and it's been out for a long time. And it's Metal Gear. 

I'm all for this game doing well, but you really need to take a breath and see what happens. 

I would say Uncharted 2 has joined mgs4 on the roster of greatest games of all time.

Metal gear solid 4 will sell 5m first, but uncharted 2 should also reach that milestone

Best of luck slimebeast.....your gonna need it!

You do understand that there can only be one "greatest game of all-time", right? If that's not the case, what would be the definiton of "greatest game of all-time"?

What darth said.

Dont get your hopes up.

First Sony leader, now "the voice of the community".

That would be nice but I don't see it happening.... SONY doesn't advertise that well...

Also if it were to happen everyone would just blame the bundles...

LOOL, im actually not allowed to say sony leader I was banned for it in the past
