It deservers 10 million sales. The more we support developers, the more shareholders of companies are willing to invest into R&D new technology for video games bringing us even spectacular stuff on our TV and monitors.
Hopefully this type of profit will encourage BioWare to go further in the next game. This is one franchise I doubt EA and BioWare are in a rush to turn multiplatform, but I hope they do because the PS3 guys are missing out on something special here.
The character models look great but the environment textures are appalling
The Bar Has Been Set.
Fight for the lost (fallen friends).
Everyone needs to enjoy this franchise. Console exclusives don't matter anyone in terms of sales - all the massive franchises like GTA have come and passed and available on both platforms. The sooner the talk of "exclusives" dies, the quicker people on N4G can actually debate games rather than consoles.
I know personally EA are incredibly confident that this game has a serious chance of winning GOTY just from witnessing the development. BioWare don't disappoint.
I cannot wait for this game. Comparing it to Uncharted or anything else is silly. This is an RPG/Shooter, not a platformer. Stop provoking fanboy exchanges. Claiming this is better than X or X is better than this won't actually make that person go out and buy that specific console for it.
Microsoft are right to look at things from a broader perspective, it did outsell the PS3 in North America. But not by much. However the very fact that it did outsell the mighty PS3 may be seen as a victory by some. However if we remain to take a broader perspective of things, the 360 has sold less this holiday period than in 2008 despite being cheaper. Obviously Microsoft realise that their market growth on their home turf is weakening, no wonder why they are putting all their cards on Natal....
Piece of advice. Don't come to N4G to read how much games have sold. People will pull all kinds of numbers out of the blue based on their thinking of how much it DESERVES to sell. This isn't the first time I've heard people claiming the game has sold millions.
Motorstorm was a launch title. Besides, Motorstorm: PR was a much better game and it did poor in sales charts.
Well according to what I'm reading in frnt of me right now, the PS3 has outsold the 360 three times in 2009 in the US; December, September and October. It did around 4.16milllion in 2009 in the US. The 360 did slightly better with around 4.56million in total.
Focusing in North America, the 360 sold more during the holiday period (both November and December) combined than the PS3. If you take into account global sales, Sony did almost 4 million in December alone with Final Fantasy being the main reason. The 360 probably did no more than 2 million globally in the same period. But it just won't let go of the North American market.
Sad thing is many will see these images and feel resentment.
Wow
"Microsoft just copies Sony".
Sony just copies Nintendo?
But they are the biggest markets, along with Japan in which Uncharted 2 has not charted. Have you considered the possibility that the game hasn't sold 2.5m as there are no reputable sources to even suggest it had sold that much or come close it? No. If this was a negative article and cited no real sources, then you'd all be dismissing it
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
Wow @ FF
Sony major exclusives behave differently in sales than e.g. 360 major exclusives
The comments perfectly illustrate the mentality to Microsoft on N4G. Everything is their fault. All said on a Microsoft operated PC
