I sometimes look at my half gig of photos from this game and get nostalgic
. Truly remarkable game.
kinda like the end of the game
What??it will easily surpass that for the full month unless sales are 90% digital LOL.
Btw congrats to ND for the well deserved success.
This isn't solely about the Uncharted franchise. This is simply a big blockbuster Naughty Dog game and people love those.
TLOU was a brand new IP and sold gangbusters as well. If ND made a brand new IP right now it would sell gangbusters too.
Naughty Dog's freedom in terms of IP, budget and development time means they deliver quality every single time. And quality games get rewarded with great sales.
It's not just the brand name that is making this game fly off shelves. They aren't getting chained to this IP just because it sells a ton. That's a Microsoft kind of thinking right there.

It's a really great game, so I hope it continues to do well for them. Mutliplayer needs some support but it's coming.

Maybe I should add my second post to the first one. I strictly mean Sony not Naughty dog.This isn't solely about the Uncharted franchise. This is simply a big blockbuster Naughty Dog game and people love those.

Digital + retail huh?
So are these good numbers? What were expectations?

If i recall correctly it's selling better than the previous installments. Also Uncharted 4 is going to probably be the game a lot of people purchase as a showcase game when they get PS4s. Also you can't forget the eventual bundling

I don't know, NA usually 35% of WW sale for PS4, minus digital, but this is just first week numbers...I guess it's still possible.

Their team is double than their last game and has nearly twice the development time. 2.7 million isn't something to start pulling out the champagne bottles yet.

Considering how well The Last of Us sold as a new IP, I think it's safe to say that it's the Naughty Dog brand that people want to spend their money on. Naughty Dog are the Christopher Nolan of video games.

Really? I remember console war discussions back in the day about how Gears sold so much more than Uncharted. Either way, pretty impressive then.
They could call it Eight Days.

I don't think they would have posted about their specific numbers if they weren't satisfied with them.

Satisfied? Or "OMG it did way better than we even thought!"?
For a first party title that seems like quite a solid start.
I mean obviously it's not Call of Duty or Diablo, but that's not really a realistic scenario here.

Deserves even more.
"Daaamn, look at these projected sales figures for the upcoming Crash Bandicoot game Naughty Dog are making!"
"Daaamn, look at these NeoGAF posts about a game nobody is making!"
...Why didn't they just say that in both posts?

How much do those commercials during Walking Dead cost?
But that's first week, NPD will track 3 weeks of sales.
Also, for the last times, keep in mind NPD is USA, not North America.

2.7 million copies for a platform exclusive title in a week is certainly something to celebrate about.
Pure speculation from me :
First week (this we know) : 2700k
Second week : 80% drop (UK is 78%) : 540k
Third week : 50% drop (i have no idea what to expect): 270k
WW whole month : 3510k - 20% digital (could be more) : 2808k physical.
NA is 35% of this so : 982k.
Higher than Halo?

They also spend far less on internal studios. Last we read in threads in the past on here, their budgets are much lower than second party/third party contracts.

Uncharted 2 and 3 combined for around 17 million units sold. Gears was pretty consistent across all 3 games in the orginal trilogy, but Uncharted was more popular later on.

Congratulations ND.

Yeah, probably nothing like that but maybe more of a "it did pretty good!" sort of reaction? At the very least, I think they are content.

Wow, amazing sales. Congrats, ND!
Correct, also the discussion was primarily framed on NPD/UK numbers which Gears typically sold better in. Congrats ND. Fantastic game and great sales.

I wonder if this is more about Uncharted being a big name or Naughty Dog having such a good track record.
They're basically as respected as Rockstar now. Personally, their name matters to me more than the Uncharted brand. Their name has more value than any series they've created.
Or maybe people don't really care about stuff like that. Game developers aren't given the credit they deserve like most other forms of entertainment by the average gamer I don't think.
