I don't even think 1 Uncharted has reached that and if so not by much.



If anyone thinks this is not sad... look into what XBOX Exclusives sell and get back to me.

The year GEARS 3 launched it sold more then all of PlayStation Exclusives COMBINED that year... and they have the same install base worldwide (around 70 million each).






GameStop seems to pull this stunt a lot.

Curious, are you purchasing the post pandemic edition? If not what are your reasons? Just curious what the general consensus is on peoples want for this particular version.

Yes GT is the best selling PS Exclusive of all time... ever. God of War 3 is the second best at like 7 mil.

But GT games are amazingly far in between.

Industry in the context and meaning I meant:


Publishers who invest money by giving studios a loan for a game to be made. They use data from launch window sales to judge whether the next investment is a good business decision or not. Mostly what i am talking about is whether a certain game gets a sequel or not. But obviously when investing in new IPs the publisher or company investing will look at the studios past history as a whole.

Companies who invest in these games want the game to pay for itself and make the targeted amount of profit within the first month month or two of its release (this is usually where over 2/3 of what the game will ever sell happens... usually more then 2/3, some games have legs though).



Also I want to know where that website gets it's data from...

email to game ceo ASAP - express how upset you are without being rude and this should be resolved (he will pass it onto someone else who will resolve it on his behalf).

you will need to do a bit of googling but it'll be worth it
