lol at that sentence " it still pales in comparison to the 2.6 million units sold of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune".

Please Darth, stop posting crap like this especially when they have no idea how game sales work.

no I will continue to post crap like this as its pachters statement that I have higlighted, not anything else

This thread is about pachters statement primarily & about the website & their article after that

All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I think it sold pretty well, it definitely should have sold better though.

I think it will have strong legs, Killzone 2 has pretty good legs.



Odd. Future. Wolf. Gang. Kill. Em. All. OFWGKTA Don't give a fuck!

Fuck Steve Harvey. FREE EARL!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be the GREATEST game EVER made!!!

I'd take a bullet for Square-Enix! 

 

They are great sales, no doubt, but given it's critical acclaim it deserves even better. I think that's what Pachter means, too.

He doesn't understand it? How about sales in US negatively impacted by dominance of 360 over PS3 for HD gaming coupled with strong online titles with proven, huge popularity on 360?

ND stated before it launched they'd be happy with 2.5 M LTD and that seems pretty likely to happen, so clearly the developer is sensible and understands the limits of the market they are releasing in.

Honestly, doesn't this guy actually, you know, understand the dynamics and market share of the market he provides analysis for?

Why is everyone surprised PS3 exclusives don't sell like 360 exclusives in US? It's so obvious!

Consoles are expensive. I suspect there are a fair few 360 owners in US who would like to play Uncharted 2, but I also suspect many of them aren't going to fork out for a PS3 to do so.

What I find so astonishing about Patcher is how business naive he often seems. It's as if he simply expects a good game with great reviews to suddenly cause another 6M PS3s to sell and the game to then sell 2 or 3M in US.

If it was that simple then free online with MW2 on PS3, Killzone 2, etc would have shifted lots of PS3s in America.

It isn't that simple, Michael! Reversing a strong momentum takes huge effort - just ask MS about trying to reverse momentum in Japan if you need another example.

ROFLMAO

to be honest, if we are reasonable here we can definetely say that MS has worked much harder on Japan than SONY has worked on any region this generation

The problem in Japan is bigger than reversing momentum

but yeah thats what pachter expects, we actually don't know what his expectations from this game were, also it got GOTY at VGA's like yesterday so Id on't know why he included that in there



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Why is he 'troubled' lol? Is Patcher a PS3 fan?

Well the fact pachter is using up through Nov NPD results for 650k, we have 2 extra holiday weeks of sales on VGchartz plus all the other amricas, not just the states, i think your overeacting to his statements. Since UC has stronger sales in Others for the first game and thus the sequal, th enumbers look pretty good.

Uncharted 2 is the media darling at the moment.  Not only because it's a great game but because the industry's hopes are riding on it because they want this to be the future of gaming - hence Pachter's disappointment.

 

Maybe they'll have a better understanding now that review scores won't necessarily determine or influence retail performance.



hes troubled? he should of came into my thread bout 2mill b4 09 is up if he really wanted to be dissapionted

some didnt even think 1-1.5m was possible b4 09 ended im pleased with its sales it will do 2.5+ b4 2010 begins probably reach 4mill lifetime but yeah it deserves like 6-8m lifetime

i dont think gow3 will do that much better LT it will better U2 1st week though

again y the hell is every1 saying overtracked it says 650k in USA vgc has it at like .93m vgcs americans includes americas not america only hence the (s) it might be under tracked by vgc then

DARTH SAID:

yes it does (sic) mean its over tracked overtracked

& it also means many people expecting 3 - 4 million for the game were wrong & I was closer than them

 

I expect 2 - 3 Million LTD for it

tell this to people like kantor who feel it will do 3 - 4 Million & will somehow beat the GOW1 & GOW 2 sales

God Of War actually isn't that "big"

The flapping mouth of this bozo pachter has already made you call someone out and tout your prediction as better than other predictions LTD. It was a knee jerk reaction on your part, imo.
