Hahaha!

Sony-fans hyping up yet another game.

Did you really say Gears?! It has sold 3 million copies on NA alone. Uncharted will sell 10% of that.

Remember Motorsperm? Less than 400,000 copies before it got bundled with the PS3.

Lair - stands at 150,000.

Warhawk - 150,000.

Heavenly Sword - 180,000.

Ratcher & Clark opened with less than 100,000 and won't pass 400,000 within it's first year.

Uncharted is a Tomb Raider clone. 300,000 copies maximum.

 

 



yea i dont see it being as good as gears. considering that really was the only good game at the time for the 360. and for R&C thats not to bad of a release. considering stores wouldnt sell it till the 31st. when they could have sold it on the 25th.

Slimebest numbers were good. HS and Warhawk numbers have been decreased but for some reason numbers on the games' pages didn't change.

My comments:
Warhawk - 150k is only for retail, so we actually don't know how many units have been sold.
Lair - what did you expect? This game is crap.
HS - 180k isn't that encouraging but I think it will benefit from Christmas and may end up with around 300k at the end of the year.
Motorstorm - it have broken 1 million WW units before bundles were introduced (and it is something on a platform which has less than a year and only 5 million userbase, which was even smaller when Motorstorm broke 1 million). Also Motorstorm is a bigger hit in Europe (Europeans seem to buy more racing games). In any means this game cannot be said to be unsuccesful.

Uncharted probably wont be as big as Gears but until the game is released we can't say anything for sure.



Not really the best way to say it, but I agree with Slimebeast that we should be careful not to have too high sales expectations for this game. It looks like a great game though regardless of how it sells.



Uncharted should be a good game. I'm glad it's getting some solid advertising.

Uncharted definitely deserves a good advertisement.

Please explain why?

 

Don't say, ''because its gonna be a good game". Because Lair was suppose to be a good game too. :)

 

 



I am WEEzY. You can suck my Nintendo loving BALLS!

It's little chance that this game will end like Lair. If it was Sony wouldn't put 1 million in its ad campaing. We still don't know how good this game will be but Sony probably has much more information. I wouldn't be even surprised if Sony knew scores from yet unpublished reviews.
