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

Congratulations to ND! (hope i get my copy today)

btw, this is more than Gears of War 3.

[QUOTE="ForzaGearsFace"]Really the op actually discredits ign completely lol don't ever update this is classicKevinButlerVP

Anybody with a lick of common sense knows this is shipped to retailers and not sold to consumers.

This is good news, a well made meticulously designed game made by a company that clearly loves the medium derserves this, as opposed to the kind of crap that sells these days. Congratualations ND

sold to retail = shipped

I don't even own a 360...

Cows were saying it was 3.8 million sold to consumers which was hilarious. They got owned.

it just goes to show that it doesn't matter if a game is exclusive or not as long you promote it well. I don't think Sony put this much marketing muscle behind GT5's release and that's Playstations premier franchise.Swift_Boss_A

Sorry TC, but that's what you get for trusting IGN.

[QUOTE="Austindro"]

[QUOTE="lx_theo"] Really? So changing it from sold to to sold in becomes a victory? Lol. Oh Lems, how your standards have fallen. That would explain Kinect, though.lx_theo

[QUOTE="Austindro"]

[QUOTE="lx_theo"] No, IGN said that. Then when a number a lems scoured the internet for the sold-in info, this thread became a mixture of people congratulating on the success either way it actually was, Lems feeling insecure about that there was still positive thoughts about the thread, and Cows laughing at the Lems for how they were handling what in any objective manner is great news. Yet in your view, that is a victory... So maybe I should be laughing at you instead? I don't know, logically it seems like i should.lx_theo

Gears of War 3 numbers were sold to consumers in a week, we don't know how many they shipped. They had over a million pre-orders. Battlefield 3 shipped 10 million and sold over 4 million to consumers, it is a multiplat though.

[QUOTE="lx_theo"][QUOTE="Austindro"] Cows were claiming it sold better than Gears of War 3 bc of shipment numbers which they thought were sold to consumers. They even created this thread, quit damage controlling for them.

[QUOTE="lx_theo"] Didn't GeoW ship 3mil in one day/week (whichever)? Sounds like it had more. Or maybe my simple math is off. And no, its still not damage control. Isn't when the really good numbers are really good supposed to be good? Since when did restricting win to being not as grand a victory better than the victory itself? lx_theo

I never said Uncharted 3 sales were not good...

As it should. Finally a game that deserves it.

So? Halo 3 sold over 12 million.

looks like were nearing the 20 page point, and this thread is still pretty lems raging :lol:

Hahaha Cows thought a PS3 exclusive sold 3.8 million in one day? :? Mahahahhahahaaha :lol:

Skyrim + insane amounts of cow ownage on the same day. It's like Christmas.

A relieved lemming:

[QUOTE="contracts420"]

[QUOTE="KevinButlerVP"]and again people still deny the facts, I think the confirmation needs to come from someone more credible like... Microsoft because surely Sony and other news sources are absolutely incorrect lmfaoshinrabanshou

NPD is US only the 3.8 million is world wide. There is no argument, Sony has confirmed it END OF STORY.djsifer01

IGN was wrong.

This thread needs to be locked or the title/OP changed.

Well it seems to be that it is shipped, not sold. I can admit that I was wrong. Unlike some people in this thread. But you'd figure that IGN would have updated the Uncharted 3 sales page. Which is why I figured it was still SOLD to customers. But apparently they don't know how to go back and edit a story after an update.

Still hope the game sells well. Seems like good games on PS3 don't sell at all half the time. I may prefer PS3 over my 360 but geez, nobody on PS3 supports the exclusives. But then again most people probably bought it for the Bluray player. Probably like a 5 million install base that actually you know... plays games on it.

[QUOTE="Allthishate"][QUOTE="shinrabanshou"]Frankly, it looks rather stupid to attack this. "Ha, ha, your game sold-in 3.8 million!" :?

Alternatively, they'll look like they want Uncharted 3 to sell poorly? That's the most rabid of fanboy territory, not gamer territory.

The folly is IGN's and anyone who believed them.

DireOwl

You know the saddest part of that? Tomorrow IGN could say that GTAV is exclusive to PS3. Or Microsoft is buying EA, and droves of people would be claiming ownage. Fanboys hear what they want to hear. IGN can spew attention drawing nonsense as much as they want and people will say they are credible to suit their argument.

So has MS then for all those Kinects, 360s, and games! :D

Also can you make me a sig like yours but put Gears 3 in there and then put every PS3 exclusive that came out this year on the right side. Oh and write 2011 better luck next year! ;)

Sony said sales EXCEEDED expectations.

I guess lems have to redesign their battle plans which included:

• Gears 3 outselling all PS3 exclusives combined
• Cows don't buy their exclusives

[QUOTE="sts106mat"][QUOTE="KevinButlerVP"] these are official numbers from Sony and people still can't accept them roflKevinButlerVP

This is not entirely true and a bit misleading Batman shiped 4.6 million in the frist week but anly sold 2 million copies in that same window period, So of those 3.8 million maube only half 1.5 if not less were actually sold to customers.

[QUOTE="TheBigXboxski"][QUOTE="KevinButlerVP"] its basically the same thing, either way Sony has been payed for 3.8 million copies of U3 which is all that matters individual customer sales are estimates anyways, these are official numbers from Sony and people still can't accept them roflKevinButlerVP

They did not sell that many to consumers because I have yet to buy my copy! :D

Oh and I am not until they fix the aiming.

Sounds legit. Given it took UC2 an year to do that ...

I wonder when shipped became okay?

Not so long ago we would have threads and people would go in there saying "shipped" and that was it.
Shipped meant "nothing special".
