Heavenly Sword ?
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune ?
Ratchet & Clank ?
Arguably the systems best exclusives, yet none of them have cracked a million with a SUPPOSED 9 million userbase.

why is Lair in the list? isnt it obvious why its not selling Uncharted R&C and HS did OKmurat8
I was running out of PS3 exclusives.
Everyone I know is waiting for the BIG games coming out this year, nobody really cares about the current exclusives (atleast the people I know)catlin_czirr
I can only think of one big game: MGS4
What are these other mythical games ?
No multiplayer...maybe?NasRex
I don't think so, alot of million sellers on the 360 and Wii do not have Multiplayer...
I'm just curious why Uncharted: Drake's Fortune didn't sell well it looks like a fun game. I would love it if it had co-op cuz I don't buy shooters that don't have split-screen co-op but thats just memurat8
That's a shame, but yeah me too, I much prefer playing with people in the flesh rather than online.
What's with PS3 games not have splitscreen ? Technical limitations or dev laziness ?
Uncharted sold 900K so far...i think that's pretty good for a game released 1 and a half months ago.
Also Heavenly Sword and Ratchet both clock at around 750K copies, again an excelent number and a great attach rate to the number of consoles sold.
Needless to say Motorstorm and Resistance are fast approaching 3 mil copies each.
So, what was the point of this thread again ..?!?
I think quite a lot of PS3 consoles are actually in homes as blu-ray players TBH.

That's what I'm wondering, because alot of catalogues advertise it as being a Blu-Ray player, I mean literally, I'm not kidding... it's rather pathetic.

I'm starting to think the same. If i was a PS3 owner, i'd have most of the listed games by now.Lair ?

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune ?
Ratchet & Clank ?

All were single player + had a demo.
M$ wont give demos to games that may do well like,halo,gears,mass effect, bioshock only got one because its on pc.
uncharted will pass a million soon, and resistence and motrorstorm already have. everything else? yeah they sold horribly (warhawk and folklore are other examples)
its kind of sad that both the 360 and wii have over 5 games each that have sold more than the highest selling non bundled ps3 game.
the small userbase is obviously to blame for this.

:lol:Its freakin simple! Most of the exclusives that came out last year was a new comer or a new franchise so people doesnt know what it is or if its really good. Not all gamers depend alot on hype & browsing the net to influence their choice you know. On R&C, the series isnt really that big of a seller cause people has assumptions that they might NOT like the game cause its a game for the young ones.

3 out of 4 of those games are new franchises. Top that off with a low attach-rate I'm not really suprised.
i don't think uncharted is at 900k. more like 700k. and EU had alot to do with the good sales of that game. it flopped in NA and JP. as for R&C and HS same deal. as far as using vgchart they have uncharted at around almost 500k if you add up all the regions.Uncharted sold 900K so far...i think that's pretty good for a game released 1 and a half months ago.

I still don't understand how R&C could sell so horribly. What was it...70 000 copies durings its first week in NA?
Doesn't make sense:
* Well established and recognized franchise
* Talented and respected studo behind the game
* Barely had any competition on PS3 during the time it was released
* Well marketed as far as I noticed
What happened? :|

That's too bad because Uncharted was one of the better games I've played over the years. Yes it got a little repetitive towards the end, but everything else was top notch.
I'm not buying those exclusives, or many games for that matter, because I'm broke. In college, no job till the summer, its just the way it is.
Instead, I rent or borrow games. I've rented LAIR (couldn't have been saved with analog), HS which was fun, quite a few others, and have borrowed Uncharted and I plan to borrow The Darkness soon here. I own Oblivion, AC and UT3.
I will be buying MGSIV, GTAIV, possibly DMC4, so I'm happy with the number of games that are available to me currently.

Mass effect and bioshock got way more advertising in magazines.
I think Uncharted got a tv ad, It should have sold more than it did. Also the new ratchet and clank is really average, it was short and after I beat it, I didn't want to replay it again right away. What else is there to do besides upgrading all the guns and doing the challenges lol.

I have all those games except Lair. That game should be replaced with Folklore on that list. It's a decent game. It makes good use of the Sixaxis. It's perrrty too. :)

Because no one wants above average games or in Lair's case WAAAAAAAY below average. Aside from Drake's Fortune being decent at best (I'm NOT talking about graphics here) and Ratchet and Clank being fun, but the same old same old for the past 6 games the others just weren't worth the 60 dollar price tag. There's ALOT more to games then graphics.

Dead Rising was a new franchise. Not too advertised (correct me if I'm wrong)..yet it sold fantastic.

Same old crap for 6 games now!
Look I'm a Ratchet and Clank fan (Check out my now playing list) AND have owned and beaten ALL of them including Size Matters on PSP, but even I can tell you the series is getting stale. I started it last month and haven't touched it in like 2 weeks now only because it's the same thing again. Adding a few new guns and mini game sequences is NOT enough.
