"Haha Cows, Haha Lems" I feel almost obligated to donate money to GameSpot because this is some entertaining stuff! Almost. It's giving me all of these giggles. And for the record giggles is not a girly word. I had the link proving it, but I can't find it right now. Whoopsidaisies.

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

CanYouDiglt

Seriously what are you talking about? Cows did not buy all those copies because those numbers are SHIPPED and Gears probably is close to out selling all the exclusives .

I know, they are shipped to the warehouse in Area 51, rite?

WTF are you talking about? IGN made a mistake, the numbers are shipped not sold, yet there are still cows on this thread claiming otherwise. stop embarrasing yourselves.

He's aware it's shipped, not sold, but pretends to think the opposite only to piss people off (troll).

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 rofl



Seriously facepalm! :P you do realise it has been debunked/closed for hours right ? lulz its effing shipped not sold to customers, they eventually will by the end of the year, but 3,8 mil in day one - i find it rather funny that you believe that

It's over lems

  • 3.8 in one day
  • 7.8 in one month
  • 12.8 by the end of the year
  • 19.8 by the end of next year
  • It should beat Gears 3 and Halo 4 combined
  • Then it will hit greatest hits/platinumpricepoint at $29.99
  • Then Uncharted movie
  • Then Uncharted TV show
  • Then Uncharted theme park
  • Then Uncharted TV Network

Who knows what else is in store , but I'll just stay modest for now with what will happen.

The first one is wrong. The rest could be true, though. We'll just have to wait and see.

OK everybody, I am back. For anybody wondering where Ive been for the past 11 hours, REAL LIFE called (yes contrary to popular belief, I actually have a social life, friends, and a life outside of system wars, AND I work/sleep). I have not been on since like 7pm yesterday (it is now 6:42 am right now and I just woke up). Just clearing all of this up for anyone who thought I was "running away" or "owned" or got suspended or something..... So I read most of the pages, and I know people are waiting for my response: really people? Are people really trying to imply that I (or cows in general) actually had more stock in whether this was true or not than lemmings did? :lol: I believe you should follow my posts throughout BOTH threads. Throughout the begginning of this ordeal, my intention was not to point out that this was true, but simply to reveal the rabbid nature of a certain group of weak minded fanboys (all fanboys are weak minded). Like I have said from the very begginning of BOTH threads, Cows dont lose ANYTHING in this scenario. Unlike a certain group of fanboys, no matter what happened in BOTH scenarios I would have slept perfectly (and ironically I DID sleep perfectly btw, just woke up). Another group of fanboys cannot say the same because they spent the better part of 5 hours on their knees praying this wasnt true. To anybody that says "cows got owned" (which is nothing more than a cheap deflection tactic to save face for yourself/lemmings and pass the buck to cows) ask yourself this one question.....whether the game DID sell this much or DIDNT sell this much, I slept like a baby either way, (and walk away entertained). My question to lemmings is......will you have? ;)

The fact that people actually get "pissed off" about somebody on the internet slandering their game console speaks volumes about their OWN character as a person, not his ;)

Nah, and i doubt they'll continue the IP on consoles. They always made a main franchise consisting of 3 games since the PS1, that Vita version is next, and there's probably going to be a new IP on the PS4.

thats not the case, people accept that sony shipped 3.8m. they DID NOT accept that 3.8 million copies were sold to consumers on day one, that is all. there is no confusion anymore. just stop. sts106mat

Dude stop sold to retailers is basically the same,retailers don't buy copies they will not sell,when they buy 3.8 million copies is because there is a demand,and those are solo to retailers,either way sony moved 3.8 million copies,which is more than the 3 million Gears moved to retailers in 1 week.

They buy games based on demand,a great example of this is Resistance 3,did you see Resistance 3 shipping 3.8 million copies to retailers.?

NO because the deman was low,so retailers did not buy that many copies,i don't know what the fuss is about sony sold those copies to retailers,and they wil not take 3 years to go away,hell Uncharted 2 sold 5 million on a smaller users base.

Sony said UC3 SOLD TO CUSTOMERS 3.8million on day one. That was either a miss-quote by one or two websites or an outright lie, you decide. sts106mat
They didn't actually. Official PR doesn't say anything about sell-through.

Gamasutra and Game Informer both asked for clarification and were told upfront it was sell-in.

The IGN staffer was the only site that said they were told it was sell-through, probably because they didn't even know the difference.

After Jim Reilly of Game Informer responded to his tweet about it being sold to customers, the IGN person eventually tweeted that it was confirmed as sold-in.

-------

TC are you ever going to change the OP and thread title full of misinformation?

Or will this be like the ridiculous Battlefield 3 preorder cancel thread, that was proven false.

Battlefield 3 - 10 million shipped on launch, 5 million sold in a week.

Do i have to pull the post here where a dude claim that is impossible to know exactly how many units you sold to costumers.?

Is funny is MS does it is sold to costumer is sony does it sold to retailers.

BF3 sold to costumer 5 million damn copies in 1 week,so how much do you think those other 5 would last on the market,1 week sales dude.

Hell even going by that is great Uncharted 3 shipped 3.8 millions and sold 1.9 in 1 day,just applying your logic here,sold to retailers mean sold,sony sold those copies just like EA sold those 10 millions,everything is base on demand.there is a reason why retailers bough that many copies.

Oh, yeah. I want more ownage like this. Game selling in excess of expectations, shipping almost as much as the multiplat Batman.

And the lemmings have not been annoying at all with their "Gears 3 will outsell everything in the universe" and "Cows don't buy their exclusives".

Uncharted 2 just recently reached 5 million,and it was almost 2 years latter,so is a given Uncharted 3 will continue to sell for the next 18 months or more.

"first, Microsoft says that's three million copies sold to customers, not shipped to retailers"

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

Those are the official publishers of the games.

Look this is real simple. Remember the "channel stuffing" you guys claimed Microsoft did a few Christmases ago? Sony sold 3.8 Uncharteds to stores and then tried to come out and claim day one sales as some huge accomplishment. As if this is the same or better then Halo or Gears. But if it was sold to customers it would have been the biggest exclusive launch in history….its not. No where on the net are you seeing this claim and its because its not even close to having these kinds of sales to actual customers.

When Microsoft says we sold 3.3 million Halos, they sold 3.3 million Halo's..go on Live and you see millions of people playing, there are midnight launches..hype etc. Did you here about any midnight launches for this game?? Any hype in the local news? Millions of players online as we speak?? No because it did not sell huge numbers. When Micro said Gears sold Huge, IT WAS REFLECTED IN THE NPD as 2m SOLD. Between Japan andEurope300k Unchartes were sold in the week. So you Ps3 fans really expect this game to sell 3.5 mill in the next NPD?? Its sitting on the selves people. Don't try to compare this to Gears, it did not even come close to Gears sell thru numbers. Your being too stubborn

Of course they did, and of course they will be gone. But that's not the point of this thread or discussion. And what Uncharted hate? Just because people are pointing out how stupid it is to compare shipped numbers to sold numbers doesn't mean they're hating on the game.

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.

Since forever, as 90% of "sold" figures from companies refer to sell in, and not sell through, unless they specifically say otherwise. What do we use to compare worldwide hardware totals? Sell in. What do we use to compare worldwide software totals? Sell in... or we would, if MS released worldwide software totals; that's what Sony and Nintendo release though. Sell

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

CanYouDiglt

Seriously what are you talking about? Cows did not buy all those copies because those numbers are SHIPPED and Gears probably is close to out selling all the exclusives .

That's delusional... What do you think Gears sell through is at now? Sure, it was 3 mil in one week... but didn't it drop to like 2k the second, and continue dropping each week thereafter? Seems like I read an article saying that somewhere... We haven't had any official word since the 3 mil first week report, but knowing how Cliffy likes to toot his own horn on twitter, I'd think he'd have tweeted all about it if it had passed 5 million in the first month. And while none of the over a dozen PS3 exclusives this year sold through that much, there's several over a million, a few closing on 2... Probably over 8 million, not including Uncharted. Even if its week one sell through was only around 2 million, that's still over 10 million combined. Gears will not come close to outselling all PS3 exclusives combined. That's a more absurd notion than Uncharted selling through 3.8 million in a day.

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".

Since forever


No.That's not how I remember it.Every thread that had shipped numbers was rendered useless because they were shipped.

I wonder why there is so much negativity in these threads :? ...what is good for the goose is good for the gander, or (if you prefer) the rising tide floats all boats Great sales help the industry. This is a good thing

Look this is real simple. Remember the "channel stuffing" you guys claimed Microsoft did a few Christmases ago? Sony sold 3.8 Uncharteds to stores and then tried to come out and claim day one sales as some huge accomplishment. As if this is the same or better then Halo or Gears. But if it was sold to customers it would have been the biggest exclusive launch in history….its not. No where on the net are you seeing this claim and its because its not even close to having these kinds of sales to actual customers.

When Microsoft says we sold 3.3 million Halos, they sold 3.3 million Halo's..go on Live and you see millions of people playing, there are midnight launches..hype etc. Did you here about any midnight launches for this game?? Any hype in the local news? Millions of players online as we speak?? No because it did not sell huge numbers. When Micro said Gears sold Huge, IT WAS REFLECTED IN THE NPD as 2m SOLD. Between Japan andEurope300k Unchartes were sold in the week. So you Ps3 fans really expect this game to sell 3.5 mill in the next NPD?? Its sitting on the selves people. Don't try to compare this to Gears, it did not even come close to Gears sell thru numbers. Your being too stubborn

KiZZo1

Your source for European sales?

He means UK. Its all of Europe, didn't you know? Just like the entire world consists of only UK, US, and Japan. Which is a lot more than most Lems think; usually the entire world consists of only US.

Is the idea that if we keep bumping this thread, more people will believe the lies?sts106mat
People will keep posting.It's their right. TC on the other hand should edit his title and OP.
