I wouldn't be surprised if twice as many people play Uncharted 2 as buy it. My PS3 is attached to the home entertainment unit, a large screen Sony Bravia. So what were they thinking in making the game single player only? Its hard enough finding time to play games nowadays and even harder to play a single player only game. Sony has NO BUSINESS releasing a system designed to be the home theatre king and NOT put a focus on local multiplayer. The moment the system is in the home theatre unit, single player games become less valuable because I always have to compete with others who may want to use the PS3 for other things. Idiots! Local multiplayer? Splitscreen was removed to avoid sacrificing visuals. Why not just play online?

Because there are 5 people in the house. I can't exactly tie up the main TV when there may be 2-3 other people who want to use it for something else. I can manage local play because it actually involves someone else not sitting and staring at how goofy Nathan Drake looks. I don't give a damn about visuals, I just want a game I know I can play consistantly. Since that invovles local play and Uncharted 2 doesn't have it then number 4 gets his copy of Uncharted 2 from me and I go and I'll probably go and buy NSMB with it and add to the evil statistics. I will be able to play NSMB about 4-5* more often than Uncharted 2 and for about 10* the total time, so long as I enjoy it. Much better value for money, no?

Ah. Didn't know that was the case. My bad. Then yes, I certainly agree with you.

Its cool.

There are under 10 million PS3's in the US of A! But, I agree. Great game, blows the first one out of the water. GOTY 09 and the second best PS3 game ever imo.

so what channel is this programme on in america,at least you have some people talking about games,

here in the uk,programmes about games seems to have dried up,not sure about sky/cable as i don't have that,which seems odd to me

the last tv show we had i can remember had those three ladies,C4 i think,one of them a yank and it was great,very sexy lol,where have our game shows gone,

anyway i like the fact that guy said GODOW3 is just another GODOW game,no shit sherlock,what was he expecting,man talk about a gaming grinch,

on topic i think both uncharteds will still have legs and you never know where they will end up,of course i understand they are not straight to 5m sold,but then it is a tps with platforming so they are not like FPS,

i enjoyed gearsOW,godOW and the UC's all good fun games

My bad, there are over 10 million PS3's in the US

dood, he was joking.

I know that

You said "but I agree", so I was confused whether you realised he was joking or not

@Mendicate Bias

You make good sense in all your post within this thread.

I don't get why PS3 games don't sell as well as x360 games.

Even when x360 was at PS3's current market share it still sold games much better.

The user base of PS3 is much smaller than x360 in the US but 900k is disappointing.

I still expect U2 to get close to 4m LTD.
