Forums - Sony Discussion - Uncharted 2 at the end of 2009...

OP: Most people didn't think it could sell 2 million by years end either and that it had no chance of moving 3 million lifetime.

I wanna' know just how much they spend on advertising for their games, and how much more profitable it makes the games, I mean, UC2 has sold almost 3m this year alone (In like... 2.5 months), but how much would it have sold without any advertisements at all?

I'm going to say it will have outsold Uncharted: Drake's Fortune by mid-February. It will cross 3 million a little earlier than that, and should hit 4 million by year's end, perhaps 4.5.

That would mean that U:DF would have surpassed 3 million by mid-February as well, which means ~60k in ~6 weeks. Do you really see it selling 10k per week, after the holidays? I'd imagine it would sink back down to 5-6k personally.

It sold 28k last week. I think it can maintain 10k per week, on average.

uncharted 2 sold much more rapidly in these first weeks than the first uncharted because people that have played the first was aware of its quality... that didnt happen to the first tittle that have to trust on word of mouth and bundles to achieve this kind of sales; and these last weeks have been an increase in sales of U1 because of U2 and these are the commercial TV ads working making the IP more known to the public in general... U2 its going to have just little more sales than U1...

A great accomplishment for an amazing game.

This game is so great, I'm probably going to play through it every few months.

I know it sold 28k last week, but it sold ~5k per week last year during the slower months. I know that Uncharted 2 may push it up a bit, but I really can't see it staying at 10k for a long period of time. Maybe long enough to pass 3 million by mid-February, but I'd expect U:DF to break 3 million more around the end of February, beginning of March period (unless we get some adjustments pushing it up/down to date).



This game is legendary! I'll be the first to admit I only thought it would do about 3 1/2 million lifetime but now I'm thinking maybe 5 million isn't out of the question.



BTW guys why the hell did Uncharted:DF sell more than Uncharted 2 in Japan this week?



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

these games seem to have alot of legs. i woudlnt be surprised if it hit 5million one day!



I BET NATHAN DRAKE CAN KICK SAM FISHERS ASS!
