I contributed to those sales...I went to the midnight launch at Best Buy

People are not looking at the fact that these are worldwide sales. Just beause everyone and their mother isn't running out in the United States to buy Uncharted 3 on day one does not mean that it can't sell big numbers.

LOL. 3.8 mil wouldn't only be impressive , it would be downright AMAZING for day one. But the numbers are shipped(sold) anyway.

Wait.... Sony owns Naughty Dog?

Yes.

Awhh... ok. I wasn't aware of this. I guess I assumed otherwise since I recall people speculating Uncharted going multiplat after this.

3.8 million sold-through would make it the biggest launch in history for an exclusive game, on any platform... Trust me, were these numbers sold-through, Sony would be bloating a lot more. But still, 4 million in a day for an exclusive is an amazing number.

Uncharted 2 shipped a total of 5-6 million, so this is on its way outselling it...

How would Sony go about finding out the exact number of sold copies anyway? Unless Sony has asked every single retailer what every single one of their stores has sold how would they get these numbers. I think it would be most reasonable to assume these are how many Sony has sold to retailers.

This may be great for ND, but it's bad for them as well. I hardly believe Sony will tell ND to make a new IP with those sales anytime soon.

Let the milkage commence!

I mean, I love Uncharted, I mean I REALLY love Uncharted, but it can't pull a Zelda in terms of franchise length.

TrapJak

Not necessarily, I mean I'm not denying the milkage part. I can Naughty Dog stretching the series by retiring Drake.

Hopefully this is accurate. A game that deserse it! Haven't grabbed 3 yet because a few other games took priority(hopefully will at the end of Nov.). But 1 and 2 r amazing.

landofcookies

From Gameinformer:

[Update: A SCEA representative reconfirmed to Game Informer these sales are shipped, not sold.]

Shipped, not sold.

How on earth can people think that a game like U3 can sell that many units in 1 day? A PS3 exclusive? :lol:

Like the way GranTurismo 5 sold 7 million? A PS3 exclussive? :P

Oh gawd, the FLOPemmings are mad. :lol:

I can see them making a fourth while starting a new IP in the background. ND has been such a strong developer for Sony, they can hardly say no to them wanting a new IP when the time comes. Though I'd love to see a definitive end to the series in an Uncharted 4.

Technically it's both, Sony get paid regardless if a game is shipped or sold since the retailer buys off them in order to sell to the public.

These numbers are obviously shipped. I mean we are dealing with Sony here. Sony is notorious for two things, being liars and being arrogant. If these were real numbers Sony would have fed these to every outlet known to man. I've learned since the "Toy Story graphics" of the PS2 days to take everything from Sony with a grain of salt.

The DC is absolutely hilarious. Do people find it so hard to believe that a PS3 exclusive sold 3.8mil ? If someone said a Halo game sold that much in one day, everyone would be all like :"As expected." Because obviously, the 360 is a sales juggernaut while only 6 people in the world own the PS3.

I don't want to sound like a hater or anything but I'm still skeptical. I mean, if this were true then you'd see sony officially boasting these number personally announcing it on their site. Instead it's coming from IGN... If Uncharted 3 truly gas the best launch a console exclusive has ever seen you'd think you'd actually hear more about it from every where. There'd be like uncharted videos topping the youtube views up there with Call of Duty and Battlefield. The JP and EU number came in and together that was like less than 700k for week 1. It's up to America to make up a difference of over 3 million?

Well deserved, it's objectivly the best PS3 game to date and probably the best looking console game. It offers something for everyone. I'm glad I went all out with explorers edition, limitted Guide and Fortress Club, paid over $300 (stuff here is expensive ^^) for the wohle pakage :D

SW aside, im more than extremely glad these pimps get to chill with the good stuff after 2 hard years of working their tails off in Drake's Deception. They have done the impossible on consoles.

Rock Steady, Naughty Gawd, Rockstar, From Software....everytime one of these fantastic developers get enormous support for their games its a wonderful thing to see because they deserve it.

Naughty Dog 4 life. :P:cool:

A higher score doesn't mean it's better. It means that one individual thinks differently to another individual regarding a completely different game. But if you care about scores that much then fair enough :P

I think you're confused; obviously games like SF4 in your sig will sell in millions because they release about 55 different versions.

So 5 million over 1 1/2 years is more impressive than 3.8 in 1 day?

gears 3 also sold over 3m around its release high profiles games do that, nothing to write home about
