But wait, how are you sure you're not an alt yourself?

Sic Parvis Magna Indeed. This franchise has really grown. Who would have thought last gen that Uncharted would outperform both a Halo and Gears sales wise. Congrats to Naughty Dog and Sony Interactive Entertainment. Very much deserved.

To all the people trying to discredit it sales because of the bundle almost every top selling game in history was bundled at some point. Also every mainline Uncharted game out performed the previous iteration sales wise heck Uncharted 3 sold 10 million LTD.

Damn, this is an amazing post.
 
Sigh, Sony definitely gunna milk this franchise

After Lost Legacy I'm expecting a new studio to make an Uncharted 5 starring Chloe.

Still, well deserved. Congrats ND!! :-)

Uncharted 4 is such a wonderful game and I'm glad it's selling so well. I hope they lay the franchise to rest after lost legacy

But wouldn't that undermine the ending.
Nate/Elena were definitely trying to keep her away from that life, while still encouraging her to seek adventure. It would make more sense to see here grow up to become an investigative journalist or a legit archaeologist working within the law. (not like Indiana Jones) She didn't have the fucked up childhood that Nate had, which is what ultimately pushed him into the world of thieves.

Well because you aren't spending $250 for the game, you are buying the console and it comes with a free game. It would be like if the makers of Sony's hdmi cables released a statement saying they sold 30 million hdmi cables, sure that's true, but that's not really what customers were buying. The standalone sales U4 had before it was bundled is a better indicator of its real popularity. This is just marketing fluff.

It has been bundled since day one so they have no other numbers to release. And you have no way to know which bundle buyers wouldn't have bought the game on its own. No reason for Sony not to count them all.

You don't necessarily have to do a shootout game with her.

You could easily do a more thoughtful game than that, especially if it's a spinoff game rather than a numbered sequel.

It could be cool, but how many franchises get to end on such a high. Don't want to see Uncharted become the next Assassin's Creed.

that could be the beauty of the story telling, she is legit and forced into the life by some circumstance or hell who is to say the Drake name has gotten around and obviously built a bad reputation for itself and she has to suffer the consequences from her fathers actions
 
Uncharted bigger than Halo and Gears. Ending the game on a high note instead of pushing it until the game sucks. To the people saying that it sold a million or two without bundles lol. So much salt lol.
 
Wow, people are trying so hard to downplay these numbers. It's fucking Uncharted and not Knack. Sure, the bundles pushed the numbers because some people got it for free even if some bought the bundle because of the game.

In any case, Uncharted 4 would still have sold a shitton, it is one of the most popular franchises on the top selling console.

I see 3 ways around this. One, they will give it to BEND if Days Gone doesnt do well enough. Two, if Days Gone does well, then they could establish a new studio a la 343i and The Coaliation to make only UC games. And finally 3, Naugthty Dog will keep the IP alive with smaller releases like The Lost Legacy (this would be the best choice imo).

No way they will let the franchise die though. It is just too big now.

Like I said bundle or no bundle. It's great. Games get bundled all the time. Sure we note that it is bundled, but that doesn't take away from the numbers.

When all is said and done I see UC4 settling around 11-12 million.

Well The Lost Legacy is not being made by Druckmann/Straley so this could be a good test run for some upcoming talent in the studio keep the IP going

I don't like the idea of a studio being set up solely make one IP.

I also don't like the idea of Bend taking over especially if it because Days Gone is a flop.

No chance in hell that Sony stops making these games. I wonder who they'll get to develop them...

Expand Naughty Dog or Santa Monica. If it continues it needs to be with top tier developer.

At the very least it's going on an extended vacation. A big reason why these games continued to sell more than the previous entry is because of they're all very high quality. So, finding a studio that can take that over isn't going to be easy.

ND's in a rather unique position as they get to somehow leave a franchise on a high note and then turn around and move on to one that's even bigger than it

Makes sense to carry on making Uncharted with these numbers. Congrats to ND, that's a great achievement on the back of TLOU too. Huge.

I could see that. I'd say they probably sold 2.5 million bundles. Tons of popular games get bundled though. Halo 3 did, Gran Turismo 3 did.
 
Why is it a big deal if its bundled? My wife bought me an xbox one for Christmas based of off the bundles. They do what they are designed to which is help move consoles.
