The only thing about it is there are so many good games coming upin Q1, I seriously wish Sony would push this game hard.

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

HAHAHA such language? Bozo?

Pachter is a bozo, just like an accountant who cant balance book sucks at his job, an anlayst who has no clue where his markets are going sucks. Deal with it, hes a bozo.

Its different in a prediction thread when someone quotes you, bringing people up in random threads is different.

I dont police this board, i read this, i responded, i respond when i feel the desire to.

Youre making a bold knee jerk reaction to something pachter is saying after 6 weeks of sales, in one country, and extrapolating it to LTD sales. Thats a knee jerk reaction.

No its not different

I also say what I feel & I said that

thats not base don pachter, my GOW3 opinion has always been the same

The Uncharted 2 sales in America have definetely been overtracked, each sale lost in this crucial period limits LTD sales

for a game like Uncharted 2 the first 6 weeks (especially when they are int he holiday) are very very important....this is no pokemon

your looking way to deep into it now



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Facts:
1. Uncharted 2 has already sold 2M worldwide.
2. Just considering sales trends of HD console games (as tracked bg vgc), only about 5% of games reach 2M sold.

Being in the 95% percentile after only 2 months is hardly lackluster.



A game like this probably won't hold its value very long. The early game sales at $60 are far more important than sales 6 months from now at $30.



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.

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.

At worst case scenario, taking into account VGChartz being 10% high and NPD being 5% low of reality, VGChartz is "overtracked" by 20k In reality, VGChartz tries to get as close as possible to reality, but has a margin of error of 10% for recent sales, and tries to get closer to 5% for LTD sales. So, I expect we'll see minor corrections here and there as more sales information comes in. In general I would expect those corrections to bring the game down in sales, possibly by up to 100k. Not a lot by any means considering the game will break 1m in America.

My god just because you can't put together a decent prediction, doesn't mean you get to hate on Uncharted.

You expected the game to sell less than the first one, right?

I did, mostly due to bundling of the 1st. I figured Uncharted 2 would do 2-2.5m units. This was mostly based on previously massively hyped PS3 games that sold "good" due to bundling but the sequels did poorly. Obviously I expected a better performance by Uncharted 2 than Resistance 2 or Motorstorm: Pacific Rift.

If it continues like UDF then it's all good.


off topic: I have a feeling that we might be setting ourselves for a disappointment with GOW3 sales.

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"

old article plus america includes canada and mexico does it not?

yes it does

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

LOL!

You speak in the past tense as if UC2's LTD has arrived and your prediction has been vindicated, when in the real world we're going to have to wait and see what the game ultimately reaches (which may indeed be in the 3-4mil bracket)...
