Forums - Sales - Pachter : I'm TROUBLED by Lackluster Uncharted 2 SALES!

Well yes for a GOTY it underperformed in the US, but I don't think he is aware of the European numbers.
It also will have nice legs.

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

Pachter is a fan of the two console dynamic, hence why he always has PS3 and 360 doing nearly as well in his forecasts, the only console he ever expects to do poorly (relatively speaking) is the Wii. So when one of the two is behind, he wants it to do better.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

www.xnagg.com/zombieasteroids/publish.htm

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

I so sad ... this game is so good :S



The marketing wasn't very creative or exciting, like a Halo or Gears. Sony needs to learn how to market outside the core demographic, because that is the difference between decent and blockbuster sales.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

I'm sure there are many people like me who have yet to even play the 1st uncharted. I will be purchasing both, probably after the holidays. Perhaps Pachter needs to consider legs over huge initial releases.

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

comment on the primary aim of the thread (which is highlighted in the thread title) or leave

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.

Please tell me where I have over reacted?

me saying I think its overtracked is classified as an over reaction now?

 

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.

don't insult pachter & don's use such language, thanks

secondly in EVERY single uncharted 2 sales thread I have been ridiculed for my original predictions, why didn't you call out people then?

Finally calling out people for predictions isn't bad at all....an opportunity to say these things presented itself & I said them

this isn't overreacting, but you calling pachter those things IS overreacting



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Especially such a witty likeable character like Nathan Drake, they did miss on this one, but the "dear playstation" ad was good, it didnt really showcase arguably the most charming part of the game, the characters.

It didn't have legs enough to even beat Borderlands.

I am 100% sure this game will sell more than 3 million copies.

Michael Pachter – Uncharted 2 sales lackluster

but it’s only sold 650,000 in the U.S. so far, which is really shocking given its review scores.

really, Pachter?
