Even SimExchange.com is only predicting 3.8m and typically platform exclusives are over-valued on that site. Especially really good ones, like UC2.

Uncharted 2 will do very well and be a multi-million seller around the 3-4m mark. That’s an unqualified success.

agreed, owning a ps3 and not buying a game should incur a penalty of 10 years in jail
uncharted 2 is GOTY 09 nothing can take the title away from it, not even MW2 or assassins creed 2 or left for dead 2.
though i wish they explained who Chloe knows Drake, and how Flynn knows Drake.
you can tell both Chloe and Flynn have worked with Drake before, and you can tell that Chloe and Drake use to be together before uncharted drakes fortune.
same for Flynn.
there probably saving that for uncharted 3, 50 bucks says uncharted 3 will be a prequel to uncharted Drakes fortune, and will explain the relationship between Drake and Chloe, and the relationship between Drake and Flynn.

though 1 thing i want them to change is the roll and cover button.
i have lost count the amount of times i died because i went to roll and took cover, or went to take cover and rolled.
like the monestary bit where you have 4 snipers and a guy with a RPG i went to roll away from a sniper shot, took cover right in front of the enemy and died.
or the train level i go to take cover and he rolls of the friggin train.

and i would like to see them add the platforming controls from infamous, climbing things is far to slow and awkward.

another thing i would like to see changed is the linear aspect of the game.
in some levels you were able to slip down and traverse the whole level and take out every enemy stealth fully.
other levels did not allow you to do that.
some levels let you take the battle where ever you want, some take you to the worlds smallest room and force you to fight the battle there.
its good for trying to change things up but i really would like to see uncharted 3 be a much less linear game.

but as i said there minor annoyances in whats a perfect game.
GOTY 2009 goes too………
NAUGHTY DOGS UNCHARTED 2!!!!!!
actually, no, scratch that.
and the award for best game ever released goes too……….
NAUGHTY DOGS UNCHARTED 2!!!!!!!

What do u mean stuck at .83million. That is the first week sales and not even a whole week in europe. It will be well over a million in after the second week. I think life time sales will be over 4.5 million.

I don’t want to get into a console flame war on my own site, but I’ll just say that the price point of the PS3 now at $299 is better for Uncharted 2 sales. The fact of the matter is gamers buying hardware in the same mindset as those who buy Xbox 360 games in droves are just now able to afford a PS3, so it’ll take a while for them to catch up to the sales quotas, if they ever do.

Nice review, I whole heartedly agree with everything you said ..
It’s all too easy to poo-poo games these days ..
I’ve had Uncharted 2 since day one and have been taking my sweet time with it, I’ll get my Platinum over the next few days then play it thru again on my second account ..

Simply stunning single player experience, one which every PS3 owner should have [imho] .. the multiplayer is as polished, although I find the match-making to be a bit of a joke [I always get the weaker team, always!!] so I find it a little frustrating to say the least ..

fortune favours the brave, keep it up

The term is “Nepalese,” as in Nepal. Neapolitan refers to the city of Naples in Italy.

Nice review,this is what i have been saying,if your not getting uncharted 2 for your ps3,then your committing a big crime.

I just dont get it,uncharted 2′s world wide sales have been stuck at .83million
Its got nearly 30 perfect scores and whats preventing ps3 owners from getting this game???
I have finally come to a conclusion to why PS3 games dont sell enough
(“despite having Unmatched Quality and Quantity”)
And the reason is they are not getting release dates fixed at the right moment.Gears of War2,Gears of War both put together sold 13mill,Halo3 sold 10mil and non of these games got delayed.
Almost every ps3 game has been going through lousy delays and Sony seems to be releasing games in the wrong months(Killzone 2 was released in Feb27 2009 which was a total non holiday season).If Uncharted 2′s sales fail,then i will blame the oct launch date.I have been going through quite a number of comments under Uncharted 2 “This is a great game,but i have other good games to look forward to in Nov and will run short of cash”,every ps3 exclusive game has been suffering thanks to the delays,even diehard fans just ignore certain exclusive titles when they get delayed.Killzone 2 should have released in 2008,ended up getting delayed by a year and you saw those disastrous sales figures of the game.Man when is Sony Ever going to realise this sh*t?And please dont tell me that 360 has got a bigger installation base and all,ps3 has closed the gap,they are almost there.Sony needs to realise that they should release the games at the right time and make sure that they don’t get delayed.If the game gets delayed,then sony must slash the price of that particular game by 50% to attract the gamers(millions in number) who got pissed about the delay.God of War3,Heavy Rain,MAG might suffer in sales just like killzone 2. i would get the games irrespective of whether they are delayed or not,but the vast majority of gamers are not like us.
