Naughty Dog hopes Uncharted 2 sells 2.5m+ copies
Posted on October 8, 2009 by Nick
 

D-Day for the launch of Uncharted 2 is rapidly descending upon us, with PS3 owners worldwide able to get their paws on Naughty Dog's new game in just under a week. Following the release of the multiplayer demo and the first reviews of game, the hype level has hit a feverish pitch. Will all this pre-release excitement convert into sales though? Naughty Dog certainly is banking on it, hoping the game manages to outsell the first game and do more than 2.5 million copies worldwide.

"We’d love to grow the franchise - that’s the bottom line. No matter what you do it’s always very difficult to grow from one game to another. And that‘s what our milestone is." said Naughty Dog Community Manager Arne Meyer during a recent interview. "If we can do better than we did with the previous game then we’re set." 

So what was that bar set by the first title?  Naughty Dog revealed that Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, released in November 2007, did an impressive 2.5 million copies worldwide.   Multiplayer designer Justin Richmond added "And then for this game hopefully it’ll be higher."

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is set for release next week on October 13, exclusively on the PS3.

IS THIS POSSIBLE

I don't think its'll happen personally, SONY has to market it!!!

Oh it'll happen. Quote me.



I've said this before, and I'll say it again: This game should sell 25 million copies. It will be far and away the best game on the PS3, and everyone of ya's should buy it.



I think, with the larger user base, word of mouth from the first game, lower PS3 price, and some good advertising, it's very possible.



It will happen very easily, probably this year. And you obviously haven't been reading about how Sony are going to advertise it, or how ioi expects around 1m week 1. Or the 97 on meta

@crashdown77

if MGS4 didn't sell 25 million copies, no other game on PS3 deserves to!!!!!
