200k just in the UK? Holy shit. I wonder how well it will do in other big European countries like France and Germany.
Also, surprised that the Nathan Drake Collection had such low week 1 sales. Do we have any idea at all how well that sold in total?

Well, at least Quantum Break beat Golden Abyss by 1K

It's a perfect example of a game which starts out at a decent level but grows to titanic proportions with a great developer behind it and good publisher support. It's just a shame most publishers these days don't recognise this and just want a massive AAA smash hit straight out of the gate.
Kinda insane. That's great to hear for the genre. Congrats.
Good for ND to end their last Uncharted game on such a positive/high note.

No MP probably killed all the hype for NDC

Greatness from small beginnings.
Deserved too, the amount of craftmanship and love poured into that game is second to none.

Well deserved, but not surprising at all, this has to be most waited and hype up game this gen.

So it must be over a million we?
We would almost expect what for Japan? 50 maybe 100,000?

Just like with Ratchet and Clank and Quantum Break, wouldn't surprise me at all if Uncharted 4 outsells Halo 5 in the US as well. For reference, how many units exactly did Halo 5 sell in its debut week in the UK?
Congratulations, ND. Uncharted 4 is probably the best game I've ever played.

Its a seriously safe bet, I think it will do around 800k in NA alone..
It will.

Great news. Should finish this tonight, then I'll be anxiously awaiting DLC.

That seems unlikely. Typically the UK accounts for about 10% of the global market. I think 3 million sales for opening week is doable though, once digital sales are accounted for.
On the other hand, were people really all that interested in Uncharted 4 because of the multiplayer? Take a look at the number of posts in the two OTs - I think that's indicative that people overwhelmingly care about this franchise due to the campaign.

Thanks, should definitely outsell Halo 5 by a significant margin in the US as well, then.
Well, I've been saying for months that Uncharted 4 will sell close to a million in its debut month in the US. So basically better than Halo 5.
Not surprising. It is the highest selling game, even above the Division, in the yearly chart on amazon. (Obviously not confirmation of anything but worth pointing out)

It's Naughty Dog that people are buying. Doesn't need to be Uncharted to sell this well.
It was 42K

It deserves every sale and accolade it gets.
Only ? God I didn't know we had numbers
Shame, it's actually pretty damn good too. I hope PS4 owners pick it up.

Wahoo! Congrats to ND! UC4 was an incredible ride from beginning to end, it was such a satisfying experience.

I don't know if another studio could keep this up. Do we really want Sony's version of 343I?
I probably will...used or bargain bin.

Don't forget though that 90% of Halo 5's sales were digital.
It's a good thing isn't it. MS should have put Halo to bed for a few years. I understand why they didn't though.
I'd be happy if we never see another UC game and I love the UC games.

Its probably easier for ND because a The Last of Us sequel or if they decide to make a brand new IP will probably sell as well, because people know about Naughty Dog's qualities by now + Sony will market the hell out of that too.

Makes me wonder what sony will do with the franchise
Edit. Is halo selling 90% digital a running joke or fact?
Holy shit, halo is fuckin dead

Two OTs don't represent entire fanbase. Uncharted MP has strong community. Yes, the series is known for its SP but MP also help it
UC3 shipped 3.8m it's opening day. UC4 is obsiously doing better. Come to think of it, it could ship a bit less due to no Black Friday + Christmas though. Either way it should do better than UC3. If they give numbers for a week then I expect 5m+. If it's for launch day at least on par with UC3

Bend wanted to work on another Uncharted after GA but ND said no so if they still want to do it then Sony should give it to them, not forcing any studio to work on it

Not disagreeing, but the temptation will be strong.
