IGN UPDATE: Uncharted 3 3.8 Million day one SOLD TO CUSTOMERS Confirmed.

[QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"][QUOTE="The_RedLion"] plenty of high profile games do (like uc3) such sales are expected

[QUOTE="The_RedLion"]

[QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"]So 5 million over 1 1/2 years is more impressive than 3.8 in 1 day?MFDOOM1983

it only means stores expect it to tell alot, which we already knew

[QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"][QUOTE="The_RedLion"] gears 3 also sold over 3m around its release high profiles games do that, nothing to write home about

[QUOTE="JayQproductions"]

Dude give it up and stop damage controlling....

[QUOTE="The_RedLion"]

[QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"] But that was "over" 3 million in 1 week.MFDOOM1983

it only means stores expect it to tell alot, which we already knew

as I said, because shipped numbers depend on what the publisher wants to ship. so sony decided to send 3.8M? good for them. nothing to write home about

Gears 3 is gonna sell more in its lifespam, not sure what's the big deal

Gamespot is an aggregation of game reviews, made up of people who get paid to do them. I don't always agree with the reviews, but it sounds like you're using the faulty line of logic that ps3 fanboys have been using lately to single out certain reviewers when it works to their advantage. Bottom line though, scores have always mattered here. Whether I feel that way doesn't matter.

No use here, Sony fanboys don't wanna know the truth. Shipped confirmed ign is once again wrong, scea confirmed shipped and this is as pathetic as the shipped move numbers they used a year ago when trying to stay afoot with kinect. Lol at the gifs trying to say uncharted3 outpaced gears, at this point Sony is desperate and so are their fanboysForzaGearsFace

How are those Kinect exclusives going this year?

[QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"][QUOTE="The_RedLion"] shipped sales depend on how much the publisher decides to ship and how much stores want

mario etc pulls those numbers as well not jus uncharted or cod or gears its impressive but nothing to go crazy about

It goes from sold to shipped and Lems are bombarding this thread acting like they've won or something, lol. Its like you are about be buried alive and managed to convince them to give you an airhole for when they do it.

What's the difference between this and the numbers MS releases for Gears, Halo, etc almost right away?

Wait. Wait. Wait one second!!! Let me strap myself to this chair and try to understand this. There are folks who actually believe that Uncharted 3 sold 3.8 million copies in a day. Wait What?! How? What? Stares of bewilderment rises in jimmypsn's eyes as he wonders what is going on here. Checks the water in the well. Doesn't find any hallucinogens. Decides he must get down to the bottom of this trickery.

Correct me if I'm wrong but shipped still means that retailers paid for that many. Sony didn't just make that many copies but retailers actually bought them to put on shelves, yes? I didn't think there was any system in place to be sure of the actual number that consumers bought as opposed to just what stores bought.

[QUOTE="The_RedLion"]

[QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"] What the real numbers are is irrelevant. You feel that 3.8 million sold in 1 day wasn't impressive but only cod games(blops and mw3) exceed those type of numbers. Chutebox

you tell him. they ship what the retailerrs expect to sell. a secondshipment should happen before years end

That was fast.

Edit: How come you haven't updated this thread with collin's(the same person you used orginally) tweet saying he was wrong and that the numbers are indeed shipped? Can't have cows quoting misinformation now can we?;)

Bububububu teh Gears 3! :cry:

In all seriousness though, good job Naughty Dog. :)

Yep and they do that when the game has a high demand,is the same with Gears when it sold 3 millions,even if they were shiped they are consider sold,because retailers already bough them,they don't ask for 4 million copies if they know the game will sell just 1 or 2.

[QUOTE="The_RedLion"]

[QUOTE="Chutebox"] They can't just send what they want.

SOLD doesn't = shipped.

Is the copies were sold even to retailers is because the game has a high deman,but i don't know why you don't find that impressive,3.8 is a ton of units,unless you want to compare it with COD which is basically something else.

[QUOTE="Chutebox"][QUOTE="The_RedLion"] no, it also depends on what stores expect the game to sell, which I already said

i know both things (and I've already stated them myself twice) so I don't know why are you quoting me just to repeat what I already said

lol today was good day.

[QUOTE="The_RedLion"]

[QUOTE="Chutebox"] You didn't in that post...not reading the whole thread. It depends only on what the store buys from the publisher.Chutebox

and I worked on retail, i know how it works, it's like any other buy/sell deal, amounts and prices are discussed unless there's a happy middle ground. as i said, as any other buy/sell deal

Not that the facts really matter but shipped or sold it is an incredible number.

i know both things (and I've already stated them myself twice) so I don't know why are you quoting me just to repeat what I already said

The_RedLion

Because you keep saying the same thing,like we should take your word for it.

Sold means sold unless you have real proves with links to back up what you claim,even sold to retailers still is sold the demand was high for the game,you don't order copies you will not sell the market doesn't wort that way,hell that is the reason why many stores actually presell their games,because with the shipment few if any compies out side the preorder will come.

[QUOTE="Chutebox"][QUOTE="The_RedLion"] it's not my fault if you don't read the whole conversation before jumping in and no, it doesn't only depend on what the stores wants, the number is decided by both parties to keep a balance that favors both

The_RedLion

yeah sure

shipped doesnt = sold

i still don't know what are you trying to do; i've never said they aren't sold or that there isn't high demand for the game :?

[QUOTE="Chutebox"] No dude, the store decides what they want... It is your fault because it is what you typed.Chutebox

and I worked on retail, i know how it works, it's like any other buy/sell deal, amounts and prices are discussed unless there's a happy middle ground. as i said, as any other buy/sell deal

the post was directed to a specific user (hence the quotation), so it was obvious there was background conversation, which you should have read if you wanted to jump in so you don't force people to repeat themselves. but anyways, I already cleared up tthat that was already said, so that issue is over, just be more careful next time:)

on the second part, do you have any proof? just repating yourself isn't gonna prove me wrong :)

And here I was feeling bad that I got U3 at redbox.. plz forgive me naughty gods , ill buy your game but money is tight right nowultraking

Don't feel bad man. You got a decent experience for a few bucks. Whats wrong with dat. I hear that the single player is the best thing about that game. Why waste 60 bucks for an 8 hour experience.
