Uncharted 3 DID NOT sell 3.8 mill to cutomers CONFIRMED!!

"Protip: learn to quote"

Oh, Im sorry, my quote was not professional enough for you?? Ok let me give you the gist. Uncharted 3 did not sell 3.8 mill to customers in a day it was a lie. Thats a quote..from me.

kbanna

Wow. I meant quote the people that asked for a link.:|

You look like you're having a noobish conversation with yourself when you talk directly to "no one." So yeah, learn to quote.

Who woulda thought one game can be so threatning:lol: Goes to show you the Playstation is a force to be reckoned with :cool:

Still it's just boasting "Hey look how popular our games are, we're making so much money right now!". I hate sales/shipped talk it's cheap and tacky and should be kept to the boardrooms.JohnF111

You don't find them hilarious or get any entertainment from them?

I swear all the Lemmings of Gamespot has gather in SW today just for Uncharted 3 sales.

The same posters, over and over again :lol: :P

....its like....if the balance has an imminent threat of being broken, they all come out in hordes :P

My bad thought you were trying to get smart. So many PS3 fans backpedaling its hard to distinguish who's who around here

and the guy that signed up literally today is credibile?

If you check his profile, his account was made in 2005..

talking about the TC which apparently signed up less then 2 months ago

Oh my bad :P

It was kinda obvious that it didn't sell that much. Although people did get the quote from Sony themselves, they should know better. Sony PR is some of the shadiest in the industry.

"I swear all the Lemmings of Gamespot has gather in SW today just for Uncharted 3 sales."

Yeah cause it was the "lemmings" who started the BS lie...right?? You PS fans wish you had a game that sold on Gears, Halo levels and for about 3 hrs you really really thought you did. Now that the truth is out...the "lemmings" started this whole thing and were being insecure...right?? So I just imagined all the PS fans who were quoting the ign editor and the posters on here saying that Uncharted was now PS3's Halo...right? PS3 fans that were citing how increased userbase would explain Uncharted sellingclose to 4 mill units in one day....yeah it was the lemmings all right!!

Not to rain on your parade or anything, but PS3 already does have a game that sells on Gears's and Halo's level. It's called Gran Turismo...

"talking about the TC which apparently signed up less then 2 months ago"

So the fact that I joined two mos ago makes me less credible huh? haha, ok man. You keep thinking"Uncharted" sold more then any other exclusive this Gen in one day sales...one week sales for that matter.Gonna be a really funny NPD nxt month I swear. this game sold 300k in Japan and Europe that leaves....3.5 mill that I should see reflected in the NPD..right? You guys are nuts, Its Uncharted for god sakes

There's a pretty little "quote" and "quick quote" button below every post. That's what he means when he says to learn to quote.

Not raining on my parade bro, Im well aware of GT series...its the only PS series with these numbers. What its not called is Uncharted so my parade marches on

You said PS fans wished they had a Gears or Halo sale juggernaut on their team. They don't have to wish as they already do. Just pointing that out.

"How the hell would Sony get the numbers for sold to customers in the first place? It's obviously sold to retailers...which is what Sony cares about."

Listen this lie has been spouted all day on here and it time people come to there senses. When people have been saying all day that its not possible it was "suck it lems " Now the truth comes out and its "well obvious, it was to retailers" BS!! this game did not sell as much as Gears 3 in its first week and I knew it didnt. PS3 games do not sell that kind of volume on average and then all of a sudden "boom" it sells 3.8 in one day? More then any other exclusive this gen??? and there were no boasts and accolades?? It had to be a lie. Dont change the story now bro. You guys were crowing it was sold to customers.

One guy was on here talking about the "ps3 userbase has increased yadda yadda" I begged people to use there common sense. Now let the backpedaling begin

kbanna

But seriously. Sony never lied, assuming the second of the three IGN articles was a misunderstanding. They said 3.8 million copies sold, and that's what it was. Sold in is still sold, and as I've said all day long, Sell in data from the publisher/platform holder is the only acccurate sales data anyway. Sell through is always an estimate.

"I swear all the Lemmings of Gamespot has gather in SW today just for Uncharted 3 sales."

What? Can't believe somebody'd say something crazy like that."

Sorry maybe I was not being clear enough. He was stating that because the usebase has increased it would explain how Uncharted sold nearly 4 mill in one day...which to me was, and is, ridiculous in its reasoning

This is still not gonna fly. This argument is not some default reasoning that will excuse blatant lies that went on here today, nor will it let Sony faithful feel they have some type of Halo, Gears type of accomplishment with this game. Saying "they all sell to retailers" is BS. Look, when HALO 3 sold more then any other game in existence at 3.3 mill there were accolades and articles praising this. And not one of them question was it sold or shipped because it was sold thru. If you went on xbox live there were millions of people playing.

Same with Reach, same with COD.What Sony did was ship a bunch of Uncharted to retailers and tried to brag about it. If you go on uncharted servers I bet you anything there is not a fraction of this supposed 3.5 online because its sitting on shelves.

If they really outsold these other games they would of crowed about it as I've been saying all day. It would of outsold every exclusive this gen using shipped, sold, or what ever kind of nonsense tracking method you claim all these companies use. Don't try to duck behind "well the store bought them". With HALO, COD, GEARS, people buy the game hence Micro comes out boasting about sales and can back it up. Sony is always lying like this.

The article says it "sold 3.8 million copies worldwide on its first day in stores." That is not describing shipping. Shipping occurs a long time before the day one release, as do the transactions between Sony and the retailers. Please just get over it, and stop letting yourself angry about someone else's success (and for the record, when Microsoft's games sell well it's not your success either). http://ps3.ign.com/articles/121/1212156p1.htmlTimstuff

IGN probably has no idea what they're talking about, made a mistake and are trying to pass the buck.

"The article says it "sold 3.8 million copies worldwide on its first day in stores." That is not describing shipping.

Did you also see the latest IGN update where the same editor states via twitter

"Jesus, what a confusing morning with Uncharted 3. Sony confirms that the 3.8 million is sold-in. That's not sold to consumers ,Colin Moriarty"????

Not just gonna "get over it" and let people spread misinformation like this game outsold every other exclusive this gen like those numbers would imply. You get over that.

So the cows are mad now, right? It's so damn hard to keep track.

So far the numbers have been confirmed to be shipped.

"Nah, as far as I can tell, the Lems are still the only ones mad/raging about any of this, or at least that k-banana guy, anyway"

Yeah its all that "kbanna guy." This forum did not have two huge threads about this very same topic created by Sony fanboys to bragas well as a bunch of Sony fans two posts up ^^^ still quoting the original ign story. Funny how it was a debatable topic...all the way up to the point where it was confirmed a lie..now its "angry lemmings" wont let it go. You let it go though..right?? What are you still doing here?

Reminds me how on April fools all the cows actually fell for that article claiming the PS3 had eclipsed the 360 in sales.

One Million copies day one is enough for Uncharted 3, those games have legs, they sell overtime just like God Of War and Gran TurismoAgentA-Mi6

But it 1) would cost money and 2) would by default be less than sell-in, so most companies provide shipment figures.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="ianuilliam"]Last I heard, the 3.8 million was sell in. Just like pretty much every sales figure that isn't specifically given as sell through.

I love how cows are backing out of this as if it was not that big of deal. Today was great day for ownage, I missed half of it though. :(

I'm trying to understand why shipped numbers are fine for everything 360 related, and unacceptable for anything PS3 related.
