IT ONLY DOSE EVERYTHING.

PS3-Uncharted 2: Among Thieves: 2,513,569

Nambassa5979d ago

It definately deserves these sales! I couldn't be more pleased for Naughty Dog right now.

Lifendz5979d ago

and for us. Means other devs may try to follow suit by making games with characters that speak and look like real people. Just played through Uncharted 2 again recently and it's better the second time around.

Bigpappy5979d ago

The things that matter are High review scores and Awards. /s.

IdleLeeSiuLung5979d ago (Edited 5979d ago )

"1.3 - Sale? Who cares about sales?
The things that matter are High review scores and Awards. /s. "

LOL!

Anyhow, should I play Uncharted 1 before jumping onto Uncharted 2? I still have Uncharted 1 unopened....

DrWan5979d ago

if the sales is poor u may not get uncharted 3. Us gamers should care about sales, particularly sales of good games.

gaffyh5979d ago

I don't really care about sales, as in it doesn't affect what game is good or not to me. I only care about the devs selling a decent amount so they can make a sequel to a good game.

What is a decent amount? 1 million-2 million, depending on the game. inFAMOUS is one of the best games I've played this gen and has sold just over 1 million. Enough for me.

gamingisnotacrime5979d ago

Play Uncharted Drakes Fortune first. That game is a great experience, and when you move on to Uncharted Among Thieves you will appreciate it even more.
Enjoy the games, both are awesome

sikbeta5979d ago

Amazing for Naughty Dog, UC2 is a Perfect Game...

Dark General5979d ago

I'd DEFINITELY recommend you playing the original Uncharted: Drakes Fortune. I actually liked it more than Among Thieves myself. Drakes Fortune has the better character progression and story and Among Thieves have the better gameplay.

ikkokucrisis5979d ago

Notice to Devs:

If you bring it, we will buy it!

"selling just over 2.5 Million copies in just 2 months (yes we are aware that VGChartz is not entirely reliable, but what else do we have?)" -ps3center.net

-It's certainly possible UC2 has sold more than 2.5 worldwide, and if so its definitely much deserved, but its just comical to see how universally accepted these sales #'s from vgchartz is universally accepted by the n4g elite sony folks who always hate on vgchartz sales figures whenever it is remotely seen as lackluster for sony, lmfao you sony loyalists have NO BACKBONE, you easily change your tone depending upon which way the wind blows. Just further proof, you don't decide what you believe based on merit, the only factor in your beliefs is brand loyalty to the ps logo.

It's so funny, after 46+ comments in the open zone, not seeing even 1 negative vgchartz comments prior to me making this post.

btw, real sites who don't just write for hits on n4g, never say: "(yes we are aware that VGChartz is not entirely reliable, but what else do we have?)"= ps3center.net is just a fanboy site operated by a n4g ps3 extremist member, CONFIRMED.

JOY

theEnemy5979d ago

MINIMUM.

Remember, they used VGCharts as their source.

;)

Congrats Naughty Dog, well Deserved.

IdleLeeSiuLung5978d ago

I agree with Joke on this one. Usually VGChartz throw up a red flag, but it seems when there is positive news nobody cares. Then again, I have always said it and say it again, PS3center is a Sony Playstation extremist web site.

I never give them my clicks!

The Great Melon5978d ago

@IdleLeeSiuLung

You should definitely play Uncharted 1 first. You will appreciate all the old characters that show up in Uncharted 2 rather than attributing everything to deus ex machina. Also, all the little jokes that refer back to Uncharted 1 will make sense.

RememberThe3575978d ago

I see what your saying but I've also stated in the past that we need to use VGChartz as more of an indicator of how a game is selling. No one should look at VGChartz numbers and think they are exact. All these numbers show is that Uncharted 2 has sold AROUND 2.5 million units, and that us great news for Naughty Dog.

commodore645978d ago (Edited 5978d ago )

Totally agree with JOY on this one.

Truly is funny how they are quoting vgchartz numbers.
I thought VGchartz was inaccurate according to all the ps3 fans on here, both past and present?

Oh wait... it's a positive spin on UC2 sales?
So I guess VGC is ok, now?

... until the next pro 360 VGC story, at least, huh?

ico925978d ago

it will probaly reach 3.5 million by the end of the year

MmaFanQc5978d ago

they told me "the ps3 is dooooooooooooooomd!!!!" and "the ps3 games doesnt sells"

...it was a lie?

vigilante_man5978d ago

The most amazing game you will ever play! I have just finished my first play through - awesome, awesome, awesome.

Play this game. Even if you have a Wii or XBox, play it. Forget about bias towards consoles - This is just one Brilliant game and the graphics are Amazing!

Uncharted 1 is superb, but this goes even better. I hate to be predictable but this game is as good as it gets. Everything about it is AAA - gameplay, controls, acting, graphics, multiplayer.

Naughty Dog have produced two masterpieces and are to be saluted. Hope it sells 5-10 million..

Solidus187-SCMilk5978d ago (Edited 5978d ago )

I got my coy at midnight because the multiplayer demo had me hooked. I wasnt planing on buying it for the great SP only but after playing the great multi I wanted it ASAP. Its a great online 3rd person shooter. I only wish it had a free-for all mode.

I hope we see some DLC multiplayer maps soon!!

BUT BUT BUT B U T B U T PS3 OWNERS DON'T BUY GAMES LOL.

SUCK IT BOTS.

http://vgchartz.com/games/g...

Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City: 1,037,372>>>flop

Lips: Number One Hits 9 : 210,747>>>>> lol

Halo Wars:1,700,000 >>>>> but but but gaylo going to sell 10M DAY 1.

avengers19785979d ago

Of course it has sold well it is awesome. Clearly ahead of any other game out on the market. This has also lead to people getting the orginal. Go PS3 go Naughty Dog, and to the bots who say the PS3 does not sell games, or that it's inferior to the 360 BOOM! let's see your machine put out a game with as high quaility as Uncharted one let alone Unchated 2

LuHawk275979d ago

Vincent VII and his ugly ass momma>>>>>>& gt;>>>>>>> >>>>>>xxx Flop

RuPaul5978d ago

LOL...Halo Reach will sell this many in the first half hour when released.

RBdrift5978d ago

Well thats a no brainer because the 360 has no games.

unrealgamer585979d ago

a million a month but it's still doooooooommmmmmeeedddddddddd cuz it falz to betz teh haloz LOL

A Cupcake for Gabe5979d ago

Yup, Uncharted 2 should be thrown in the flop bin along with gears of war, forza 3, and mass effect 2

jkhan5979d ago

Just got platinum trophy for U2 today. Glad its selling well, but it's still a shame, Uncharted 2 is probably one of the best videogame of this generation and only 2.5 million people have experienced it out of 25+ million install base.

Letros5979d ago (Edited 5979d ago )

Still very strong sales, its possible people purchase the PS3 for the blu-ray and maybe a lil'bit of gaming. My sister and brother in law did this, and never even heard of Uncharted 2 until I brought it over one day.

thor5979d ago

It's easy to put things relative to the install base, whereas you have to realise that not all people are going to want to buy a game, even if they acknowledge that it's the best this year. They might only buy 1 game a year and it might be a sports game, for instance.

Let's not forget that even with Halo 3, more than TWO THIRDS of people with 360s do not even own the game. With MW2 on PS3, only about a fifth of the install base have the game! And yet those games are regarded as the biggest sellers.

The_Zeitgeist5979d ago

You just have to give it time. And as for it being sad....I don't see how. I play MP every day and there is plenty of people on it.

kurochi5979d ago

my friend, the x-bot, has been hounding me about lending him my copy of UC2. I told him to get his own copy as I want him to pay for a Sony game. I know it just kills, and I mean, KILLS HIM that the 360 doesn't have a game that performs like UC2. I am loving every minute of this. I sure as hell won't lend him Demons Soul either!!!

I'm done lending games to friends, unless it's Hannah Montana sing fest 2009.... LOL

cLiCK_sLiCK95979d ago (Edited 5979d ago )

"Uncharted 2 is probably one of the best videogame of this generation and only 2.5 million people have experienced it out of 25+ million install base."

Agreed.
2 Million = Uncharted 1 lifetime sales.
2.5 Million = Uncharted 2 total sales two months after release.

Its a shame AT LEAST half a million people bought U2 before, if even, U1. In other words, alot are missing out on U1. Regardless of that, im happy U2 brought in many more fans.

CrippleH5978d ago

A lot of early adopters did buy it for the built in blu ray player that is true.

chidori6665979d ago

acording bots is epic fail cuz halo odst sell 2.0 in 1 day.. :/

avengers19785979d ago

But ODST blows and everyone knows it even the bots, and halo fanboys. That is why everyone can't wait for Reach because there already sick of ODLC

RedDragan5978d ago

When there are no other games to buy, ofcourse it will sell 2M in one day.

We PS3 owners are lucky to have a huge choice of exclusives which see's see's Sony Computer Entertainment make the 2009 Top 10 Publisher list with 20M+ sales.... unlike Microsoft who didn't have a single first party company in that list.

Uncharted 2 Is the Most Important PlayStation Exclusive of All Time

In a list of games that defined the PlayStation 3, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves would certainly be one of the top contenders. The blockbuster sequel to 2007’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune not only received critical acclaim and became a massive hit for Sony’s third console when it was released 15 years ago on October 13th, 2009, but it also cemented Naughty Dog’s future as a developer of cinematic, story-driven action-adventure games as opposed to its history of colorful platformers like Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter from previous PlayStation generations. To this day, Uncharted 2 stands as one of the PS3’s best exclusives and one of the most important PlayStation games of all time.

gold_drake563d ago

it was pretty good. especially the multiplayer

KyRo563d ago

I loved this era on multiplayer games from Sony. People used to call the modes tacked on multiplayer but they were enjoyable. I loved Factions even more. I'm Still gutted that the second one isn't coming out.

-Foxtrot563d ago

Yeah, that one game where it not only has an amazing single player but the multiplayer was also just as good.

A fresh a breath air with it's more "skill focused, less is more" multiplayer in a time during COD fever where every other game with online was trying to be like it.

Shame NaughtyDog eventually did do COD like things with Uncharted 3 and 4, they ruined what made the original so good. It become an over the top arcade fest in the end.

Inverno563d ago

Ironic cause the MP was basically Halo, and Bungie helped on the technical side of things too. MP was more simple back then, I've said this before but I played U2 MP religiously. I sucked at it like you have no idea, but mah gawd did I have so much fun. Can't find an MP game that hooked me like U2s these days. Then Factions came along and while it had its problem I found new religion with it. Agh damn it why did they cancel Factions 2 bruhh.

gold_drake563d ago

i had so much fun too, played almost every night with mates or cousins baha

Relientk77563d ago

It is for sure my favorite game in the series. It's such a blast to play. The train levels still hold up and are fun as hell as well as the entire game.

RaidenBlack563d ago (Edited 563d ago )

Still remember the first gameplay video ... shooting the chasing truck and then the beautiful visuals & details whilst traversing the dilapidated Nepal streets ... perfection
Too bad Sony never ported the trilogy to PC ...

RaiderNation563d ago

I would argue it's God of War.

darthv72563d ago

I'll say, the PS3 really did sequels better than people give it credit for. Resistance 2, Uncharted 2, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Infamous 2... all were better than their initial offerings and still hold up to this day.
