Just because it isnt in the top 20 it doesn't mean it stopped selling all of a suddenAgentA-Mi6
Actually, that's exactly what it means. However, I find this thread silly. To serves to purpose. The more important topic is WHY UC2 isn't still up there. Just like the 360 not being popular in Japan, I can't understand why big blockbuster exclusives on the PS3 don't sell well.

It's still obvious Uncharted 2 will be GOTY here on GameSpot, but yeah it sucks it's not in the top 20 especially after those barrages of funny Sony commercials while I don't remember the ODST commercials at all.

1M+ sold is horrible now? :? Most games can't even break 500K and fanboys are bashing U2 for breaking a million. Crap, what universe did I just step into.

According to cows, FM2 was a sales flop because it "only" sold a million copies.

wow, so a game with halo plastered over the name outsold a fantastic game that got more than 25 perfect scores? surprise surprise. this is nothing to gloat about. halo is like mario, it sells 10 million no matter what, but it's in no way any better than the last 5 or so. (except halo wars)snowyfleury

To make your point sound even worse, it actual has 38 PERFECT review scores right now. So yeah, this is really sad. It just goes to show what the mentality is of the modern gaming populace.

This just proves that that sales =/= quality.

Rikusaki

The top ten games on that list have scored from AA to AAA here, only exception being Wii Fit Plus which scored a respectable 7.5

Just some food for thought. :)

Why? It is the best game to come out this year, unlike ODST which is basically a DLC with Halo 3s online which most people already own.

This just proves that most "gamers" are pretty dumb. They prefer an expansion of an average game and not one of the best games ever created. Noobs and hype are making gaming the realm of rehashed shooters, I fear for the future of gaming.Odrec
rubbish, i have been gaming for 24 years, theres no way i am a noob, but i would rather play halo 3 than UC2,tell me, what games do pro gamers like fatal1ty play at gaming competitions? that's right, they play first person shooters like doom 3, counterstrike and halo 3, and on that note, halo 3 is far from an average game, your post should read 'they prefer an expansion to one of the best selling and most critically acclaimed games of all time', halo 3 scored the same as UC2, so the fact that you think UC2 is better is just an opinion really, because according to GS scores, they are both equally as good, and , no offence, but when where you the fianl word on what gamers should be playing?

well if Uncharted2 is not selling like crazy then there is something wrong with PS3 owners :) (just kidding)

I really dont understand why gamers are not buying such a great game, it has an amazing sp campaign and great mp... its really one game not to be missed.. but maybe there are many gamers out there who prefare other genres..

oddly, Borderlands on the 360 is still in the top 20 (and it was released before UC2)! WTH is going on? PS3 owners, we better start buying some games or we are going to see developers shy away from big exclusives.

Too busy with Xbox 360, PSP, and Wii to buy games for the PS3. I did pick up the first Ratchet and Clank a few months ago but traded it in about a week later.

For a game to be a potential Game of the Year, does it need to sell boat loads or does it just come down to the quality?

I think most would agree the two games are wildly different. The only thing they have in common is that you shoot a gun. Theres no doubt in my mind, at least from a single player perspective, Uncharted 2 is a better game. Its just in a different league graphically, story telling wise and the sound is on Halo's level. Remember, standards change from two years ago.

If you feel that sorry for them, tell your Xbox friends to at least put down the Halos and try it.

Thank you for pointing that out but sadly it still has to be pointed out. I still do not understand how so many use that car example considering how stupid it is.

It is not the marketing.

Sony marketed the game just fine. UC 2 had plenty of exposure and still does with it winning GOTY. You cant get better marketing than what UC 2 recieved. So it does not come with a Happy Meal unlike Mario and Halo toys.

If you read a latest report it says that advertising only makes up 11% of someone likely to buy a game, the highest was what? Word of mouth.

Well lets see. It does matter because proof is in the pudding. L4D2's advertising campaign was huge, and its sales have been phenomenal, despite the backlash of it being a rehash, and the prequel coming out just last year. Not to mention, that game was not a known IP before 2008. And advertising isnt the only part of marketing a game. Establishing the IP in the beginning is really crucial. Look at Assassins Creed and Left 4 Dead. Probably the biggest new IPs this gen, and why did they sell? Because their was "buzz" around these games. Creating hype is the number 1 reason why these games sell in truckloads. And outside of our little gaming community, UC2 was completely overshadowed by MW2 and AC2 in this category. And I would like to see this report your quoting.

Halo games in general has its single player mode but it is also well know for it multiplayer games so it will sell loads and have people playing for ages making it a must buy for anyone into Halo online.

UC2 problem is that it is know as a great short single player game meaning alot of people will pass on buying this game and just rent it for a week to complete. Naughty Dogtried to extend the life of UC2 with multiplayer and they done a good job of it but the firstUC got its name for the single players game so the multiplayer aspect of UC2 are just getting ignored by alot of people who's going back to this game for the single player. The fact that it came out between other shooter game like MW2 didn't help the multiplayer side of the game.

I think that naughty dog should have promised people downloadable side stories to come out in the future then more single player fans would have bought the game to keep it for future DLC.

don't get me wrong, UC2 is a beutiful game, but i would rather play halo, FPS is more my cup of tea and in all fairness to UC2 it has a lot to do with me playing tomb raider to the point where i got utterly sick of the gameplay, i cna't stomach the thought of playing another tomb raider, or tomb raider like game, for a few years,it's a bit like when you listen to a song you think is awesome too much and you end up getting sick of it.

...:? The game has no doubt been profitable. Unfortunately, the name has not hit home with people yet. I blame it on Sony for once again, not marketing it better. Those lousy commercials did nothing for the game.

Sony marketed the game just fine, it's just that cows don't buy games.

They bought plenty of MW2 and AC2..... You really thought those lousy adverts swayed anyone into buying Uncharted 2? I doubt it.
