Without a doubt, the most fun I've had playing a game ever!!! Congrats to Naughty Dog, and Sony. This game will have strong legs, and probably get to the 5 Million mark.

i dont care if bots say ps3 games dont sell but ND not only made the profit but reached the target they wanted in less than 4 months . so now they have like 2 more years of selling this until uncharted 3 i think. so yea let halo sell 2 mil in day 1 , but who gives a rats ass when the game sucks ???

importanly it has great legs,150-200k every week.

Lifetime it ll reach 3.5-4 mil

But wait I thought no one was buying this game? HAHAHAHA!!

Glad to hear it. Well deserved.

Wow best game of 2009 and it dissevers all the praise and recognition it has and will receive in the years to come.gg nd

I felt so sorry, that I wrote a song about it. And it rhymes!:

The Playstation Franchise was once a juggernaut, the big man on the block,
Many different consoles wanted their title, but Playstation had it ON LOCK.
The Gamecube, XBOX 1, Dreamcast, and even CD-I gave strong efforts, but the fight was to no avail,
Because Playstation had the top reviews, a plethora of great games, and most importantly, had great sales.
But then, a new console arrived on the scene, and revolutionized the way that we game,
They took the failures from the past generation, and applied their knowledge to their blossoming name.
The Original XBOX was a modest success, its hardware and software were a perfect match,
But a NEW XBOX could monopolize the Market, especially if it had a new Halo attached.
So Microsoft released the hardware a year early, beating Sony at its own game you see,
It was smart and a failure at the same time, because it prompted the problem called RROD.
But with a 3-year warranty, the best games on the Market, and groundbreaking XBOX Live in tow,
The XBOX360 took over Hardcore Gaming, and Playstation was no longer the show.

Then the PS3 released at $599, and the Industry laughed in Sony's face,
No matter how much they liked their console, they already had lost the race.
They had no games, PSN was a joke, and PS3 hardly got a mention,
And XBOX Live was such a perfect service, that Gamers just had to pay attention.

So now four years later, Playstation 3 is finally starting to hit its stride,
A desperate Slim Model, and mediocre games, the Gamers have chosen a side.
If you look at the charts, PS3 Games are missing, their exclusives are never on display,
Because everyone knows that people purchase the Playstation 3 for one reason... It's called BluRay.
XBOX360 has stolen the Market, it hurts I know, but the PS3 is an epic fail,
You're celebrating a MONSTER exclusive like Uncharted 2 hitting its TARGET SALES.
For all of the Marketing, Reviews, and Buzz that Uncharted 2 received, along with a standing ovation,
Its sales should EASILY be in the Top 10 titles of this current videogame generation.

So keep on trying... Microsoft is the victor, and PS3 is deep in the red,
And with 2010 just getting started, the Playstation name is already dead.
XBOX360 has the best exclusives, and we TRUE gamers plan on having a ball,
From Splinter Cell, to Fable III, to Halo: Reach, and even Project Natal.
2.5 Million consoles is a decent effort, I applaud your desperation,
But the game-buying consumers on Playstation 3 have taken a permanent vacation.
M.A.G. is about to flop, Heavy Rain will disappoint, and God of War III is just more of the same,
And none of these things matter anyway, because NO ONE buys a PS3 to GAME.

"It's not a sprint, it's a marathon..."
"Ever heard of the Tortoise and the Hare?"

Use all the excuses that you want.
The PS3 proof is pretty obvious.
All I know is that...

NO. ONE. CARES.

Playstation 3 sucks. :-)

I have no doubt it'll attain 4 million copies sold by the end of this year, especially with Sony's long-term marketing strategy. For instance, Warhawk was advertised for over a year after its release.

It deserves much more copies sold. This game is unique.
I dont know how can Halo sell more copies than this one, this game is absolutly astonishing, Halo will never reach uncharteds lvl of greatness, but thats just my opinion.

lol 1 bubble..

NO. ONE. CARES ABOUT YOUR 1 BUBBLE ;)

I'm so happy for you Naughty Dog. You've achieved target sales. Hope more people get to experience this masterpiece.

-End statement

Will someone please explain to me what the hel teh,means and why people put a z on the end of words that clearly dont end in z. Also WTF is this youtube video the plays on here all about. I cannot relate to 15 year old girls being in love. Take that SH*T down N4G, ITS NOT A GOOD LOOK.

2.5million? Not being a troll here but I find that very hard to believe considering the NPD results and UK charts as of late. It must have had a massive boost in December to reach that figure

I wonder how much it would sell with the same time span as Uncharted 1 before Uncharted 2 was released?

-Go Figure!

Folks, this will be my last big post until the blinded fanboys decide to revive the false information-giving preacher they like to praise. In the REAL WORLD, a man who thinks he tells the truth doesn't make him a truthful person.

Some fanboys, like man_of_the_year, for example, believe that preach tells the truth and backs it up by sources. REALITY CHECK ;)

Can anyone tell me how saying "Playstation 3 sucks" is truth? IT'S. NOT.
Can anyone tell me how pasting links leading to:

http://www.impawards.com/20...

verify any "valid" points made in a post? THEY. DON'T. THEY'RE PICTURES.

For god sakes, preacher ran out of so many ideas and is getting so washed out, HE WROTE HIMSELF A SONG. On a scale of 1-10, how pathetic do you honestly think he is? It's sad. It's his last resort...

The REAL WORLD caught up to him ;)

Well, preachy, here are some points you should realize about both this topic and you being a has-been:

~ND reached their goal in less than 2 months... deal with it.
~The game is great... deal with it.
~It beat out MW2 in everything but sales... deal with it.
~Making songs makes you sound utterly pathetic... deal with it.
~PS3s are bought for games... deal with it.

So, all in all, I think we can all agree that you're going to need much more than a random song and opinions to make a point. Somewhere along your timeline of walls, you forgot that and it clearly shows. YOU HAVE NO MORE POINTS TO MAKE... deal with it :)

I'll be back when you decide to soil the comments section with your nonsense. Until then...

Ladies and Gentlemen. Open your eyes. Reality hurts.

There we have it! The game succeeded, it has achieved it's goals (surpassing many of them) and is an unqualified triumph.

So allow me to adopt my local vernacular for a moment and say "SHUT YER GOBS!" to the whingers in general, and STREWTH2009 in particular.
And that should be the end of it....

...but it won't be.

Remember the articles saying it was a flop in sales? Haha

They put in the work to create one of the best games I have ever played and for that they deserve a great deal of commercial success.

So with that said I hope they sell a couple of million more, not least so that more people can enjoy the fantastic game that Uncharted 2 is.

where the hell have you been dude?!! i haven't seen you in ages

i'm kidding. that's great news for Naughty Dog.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was so underappreciated when it came out, it's great to see Uncharted 2 get the love it deserves.

hands down, it is the best game i've played this generation, and i've played some AMAZING games this gen, on both the 360 and the PS3.

i think, as far as this generation goes so far, Uncharted 2 is the game that defines where this generation is going.

i think that Gears of War defined what this generation was capable of early on, and convinced a LOT of people to take the generation seriously (until Gears, it basically felt like PS2 and Xbox games in HD).

i guess it's a guarantee we'll be seeing Uncharted 3: Kick Ass Game in fall 2011.

2.5 in 2 months!

+ 2.5 from Uncharted and we have 5 MILLION! =D

thats a lot for a recent IP, and i'm sure U3 will be not only GoTY! but also another great seller =)

Bravo ND!

Unless the game flopped, which everyone knew wouldn't happen anyway, Uncharted 3 is inevitable. UC2 will sell between four to five million easily and rightfully so, maybe more even. The game received such high critical acclaim that sales mattered, but not nearly as much. The sheer quality of SONY exclusives matter more to the company than sales. The sales will inevitably come with time as long as the quality is there and SONY knows this. I don't believe VG charts but like I said anyway, this game is so good that ND have to make a sequel, even if the game had sold only one million and failed to meet their goal.

Uncharted 2 is one of the finest games ever, such a good game really deserves big numbers

This games deserves this and more imo. Never a action/platform game got me so hooked since Tomb Raider/Tomb Raider II.

yo that video was ON FIRE MAN I WAS LOL THE WHOLE TIME!

U2 deserves the sale it's getting, I hope it reaches 7 million. If it keeps selling and reaches that number yeah I'll be satisfied as a fan of this series. And it's not a flop.

2.5 million thats some solid sales! I expect lifetime to be around 3.5-4 million!

but 2.5 million out of how many PS3 owners in the world?

This game is incredible, well deserve G.O.T.Y, and I'm on it every night. It's an addiction to run and shotgun in the face, 2 shot desert eagle kills, and the M4 shredding the torso of the enemy. AAAAAHHHHHHHHH the Adrenaline!!!!!!!

Buu...But...PS3 exclusives don't sell... /sarcasm

Congrats to Sony!

I went to my local Best Buy (Ann Arbor, MI), to by Killzone 2...and it was sold out. Does anyone have number on how it's selling right now? I just want to know because I have heard on here that people are not playing hat game online anymore. (It looks awesome, but I want to make sure that people are on PSN laying it.) Uncharted 2 seems to be selling at a steady pace...like LBP did. I notice that a lot of PS3 games do this. It's prob. because word spread on how good the games are, rather then people just jumping o a big named title. (When I had a 360, I ran out to buy Gears of War 2...of the success of part one, and was VERY dissapointed. Didn't matter to MS though, because the game was deemed a success... just because of the pre-order sale numbers/hype.)

to bad Uncharted 2 was not on both systems it would sold more it might of sold 3.5 mill or more on both systems we will never now...

Absolutely a big impact on PlayStation but I'd say leadership is the key factor. When leadership changes so does the studio. Leadership is so important for the counties success of a developer.

I might be hated and downvoted but I don't care:

I wouldn't mind Sony to give us a remaster of the trilogy for PS5 and finally releases it on PC, or even remake Among Thieves.

It was such a well made game, you could tell how much love was poured into it.

Such a shame Amy Hennig got forced out and never got to be there when Nathan Drakes story ended.

That’s definitely an opinion.

One of the best ps3 games of all time imo. The adventure I felt in that game is still one of the best I've ever played. They did amazing with MP as well, god I miss it.

U2 set the standard for PS exclusives, and a standard for how stories were told in SP games in general. The seamless transitions from gameplay to cutscenes, fancier camera work, cinematic feel in in-game set pieces, organic voice acting/line delivery. Devs can deny it all they want but everybody was trying to be U2 after it's release. I prefer it over U4 even cause it's a much more straight forward game in its genre.

Final fantasy 7

From the very start the train sequence was wow… one of the best most memorable opening i can recall.

I love UC2, beat it many times on PS3, and beat it once for PS4, played tons of multiplayer as well. Most important? I wouldn't agree. A game that cemented the entirety of the PlayStation branding against its competition, not just a single company, would be more important.

Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid, Gran Turismo. Or if you want to count GTA III since it was a temporary exclusive and propelled PS2 hardware sales beyond what anyone could have ever imagined. After a single year on the market, PS2 took over nearly the entire console marketshare to itself.

i havent played 1,2,3 been a later bloomer only played thiefs end and lost legacy am i missing out

Absolutely is. It made uncharted 1 look so mediocre. It also set a bar so high, not just for gaming, but for Action Adventure games. I played the MP religiously and made some amazing friends through it. I especially loved mercing the ND devs.

Hopefully ND comes back swinging with the next game release. They sure know how to make quality storytelling
