Wait, I thought Sony said they sold 3.8 millions UC3 on Day 1?
Don't forget Sony dominated the last 2 generations and sold over 120 millions PS2 to the Xbox 20 millions or so. X360 was Left 4 Dead before even PS3 even arrives. It is amazing really that they are still ahead 5 years later.
I think Walmart is selling an exclusive Blue Wii for $99 bucks during Black Friday in the US. It is worth checking out if you don't already own a wii. http://nintendoeverything.c...
JDrm, stop posting nonsense. you are calling US people sheep because we preferred a system that you hate? What country r u from?
We can put this in conclusion now. The IGN Playstation Editor just confirmed in his twitter account that it is sold to retailers and not customers. He was misinformed earlier.

"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
Like I said on my other post, I am not risking my life to save a few bucks @Walmart, Target, or Best Buy on Black Friday. Amazon will match the price.
Papertiger, what the heck is your problem? If you read my last sentence, I clearly state "Still the 3.8 millions will eventually sell through to customers so Kudos to Sony and ND."
Sony also said the same thing about the Move and later backtracked.

"Sony Sells More Than 4 Million Move Units Worldwide
[Update] Sony clarifies that number represents units shipped, not sold."
Sorry to burst IGN's bubble, but Sony just confirmed the 3.8 millions is shipped according to Gamasutra.
"The company noted that the game is now on course to be the biggest selling title of the trilogy, and one of the biggest releases of 2011. [UPDATE:] Sony confirmed to Gamasutra that the figure given is shipped, rather than sold."

Thanks for the heads up but no thanks, I am not risking my life on Black Friday at Walmart just to save a few bucks.
I think they both look similiar. The key now is perfomance, ie. framerate, screen tearing,, etc.
Uncarted 3 was rated by a known fanboy by the name of Greg Miller. So that don't count. That is like giving the review in the hand of Darkride or Morganfell, the outcome will be predictable.
Sony definition of shipped/sold is different from Microsoft and Nintendo.
Here is a piece of information on this matter that will explain it all:
"Statements made by Sony Computer Entertainment CEO, Jack Tretton, indicate that Sony uses a far more forgiving method of defining what a “sale” is than Nintendo and Microsoft. We know that Microsoft and Nintendo consider a unit sold when it has “Been shipped to a retailer or wholesaler that has made a purchase...
So it sold more in one day than what Gears did in one week? Yea, right. Uncharted 3 wasn't even charted (no pun intended) #1 in the UK during its launch week. I call BS on it. Black Ops did 5.6 on day one on multiple platforms and you really think Uncharted 3 can almost do 70% of that on one paltform and a lesser known and less popular fanchise to the general masses? It doesn't take a genius to figure out it is shipped to retailers and not sold through.
It is not like...
They will call it SF vs Tekken: Off the Record. Get it for a reduced price of $39.99 and now you get to play with the Street Fighter 2 version of Ken and Ryu and Kuma the Bear instead of Roger the Kangaroo.
Man, I hope it wasn't a store demo X360 that he try to slit down his pants.
I can't imagine playing 300 hours with 3D glasses on. It will be a headache.
The Final is a preview of "Marvel vs Capcom 3: We Super suckered our customers into Hyper buying another Turbo port edition Remix."
This is Capcom we are talking about.
Let the late 2Pac once said. West side is always the best side.
There always got to be one. Can't wait till next Sunday.
