I don't know if you could tell but my post was sarcasm.

Even if we are to go by previous generations sales those games didnt debut at 800k. So you are still premature.

Interesting post. I love how folks say reviewers don't know good games. The publishers and developers - and their PR firms - continue to send games for review. If we sucked, they would ignore us and never send us a single game.

Game of the Year not the same as best-seller.  Uncharted 2 is not a game-changing, system selling brand.  I write this as a fan of Nathan Drake, by the way.  I am suprised it actually did that well.

If Gran Turismo or God of War 3 were released this year, Uncharted 2 wouldn't be considered the biggest PS3 exclusive.

Every game deserves to sell as much as it's capable of selling.

huh...I went to sleep thinking this thread will be ignored, I didn't expect such a meltdown.

The whole point of me making this thread is because I felt Naughty Dog did exceptional work on Uncharted 2 and it deserves every sale/accolade etc it gets. Usually I roll my eyes at people who rant about sales and what not (I guess I forfiet that right after making this thread) but I feel the right credit was needed where it was due. U2 is an exceptional game and worthy of untold praise, I just have a feeling that everyone will overlook it for game of the year awards and give it to the likes of MW2 and ACII just because they feel that more people will agree with those games instead of something not as popular.

By popular I mean, MW2 isn't even out yet and people are marking it as GOTY when we've yet to see it in full action, not saying MW2 is gonna suck or anything, usually I don't like FPSs but even I can tell that it's gonna be good but at the same time I feel folks will just give it GOTY without much thought if any of this makes sense. MW2 and the likes all have history and a wider appeal (i.e being on multi-consoles) as a result they will be more likely to get bigger look in for GOTY than Uncharted 2.

I actually forgot that U2 Europe sales only counted 2days instead of 5 or whatever but I have a feeling that in future months to come when people have the daily sales arguements, U2 will be brought in and people will say it didn't break 1mil in the first week and "forget" it wasn't a full week every where which I think is a little sad but there we go.

Undoubtably the lifetime will be more deserving and so on but still, I was still hoping for that 1mill "first week".

Regardless, as I've said, it's gonna be my personal GOTY and I guess on the long run that's all that matters.

Hmmm. So sales mean Quality ? Well Wii fit FTW becuase even that lame thing outsold your halo.

You created a "PS3 exclusive sold badly" thread, and you thought it would be ignored? You've been here long enough to know the opposite is true.

In America it did better then I thought, did worse in Others and I had no clue what to think about Japan since that place makes no sense at times...
