Well, if Uncharted 2 can give hardware a 25% boost.

Imagine what Gran Turismo 5 will do...

Well said Carl.

ITs difficult because its not happened before, if it has not many times at all.

the COD4 example is a good one

@Carl

ROFL ROFL ROFL

the person who said that thought FF13 would sell systems in Japan but GT5 wouldn't sell systems

@CGI

"we tried to tell you"

Yeah, like it didn't cross your sales expectations!!!!

@SONY

THis will make you

This may be the first PS3 exclusive after MGS4 game that people won't question about whether it makes a profit or not!

I'm not discrediting the PS3 or Sony, but I know without some real work, they'd still be in last place weekly, and still be talked about in the industry in a negative light. This should teach Sony something, give the CONSUMER what they want: quality at an affordable price, and to make the public aware of your offerings (marketing). Since all of this is being addressed, we'll continue to see massive momentum in Sony's favor!

You know what, its as if SONY planned to market like this after PS3 got to a good price point!

One more problem is that PS3 is doing sales that 3rd & 2nd place consoles could only dream about......this generation is definetely different & will be remembered as different for years to come as nothing has happened like it usually does:

1. Major 3rd party support on 2nd/3rd place console

2. First place console & 3rd place console almost TIED in yearly sales in 1 region (Japan)

3. A full scale rebranding that is effective.

Wow wasn´t excpecting UC2 to be a big Systemseller.
Ok it isnt a big systemseller but still better than i expected *thumbs up*

Bigger spike than anyone could have expected for a sequel. In simple terms, awesome!

If it wasn't for Metal Gear Solid and Grand Theft Auto- 2 uber franchises- Uncharted 2 would be the fastest selling PS3 title in history. That's pretty amazing for such a young franchise.

PS3 back to 100k in NA. All thanks to Uncharted 2 !

But think about this darth, if Uncharted 2 can do this: imagine: - Vroom, Vroom............... & - The new Fantasy upon us....

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know, I know.....GT5 especially!

FF13 too!

+ now we know SONY won't suck at marketing!
