We're not strong followers of VG Chartz (mostly because we don't really care), but it came to our attention that they are
reporting that
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune has now sold over one million copies. Great news!
Uncharted is arguably the greatest PS3 exclusive available and deserves to be played by as many people as possible.
Of course, this also means that PS3 owners have actually been
buying games. Keep it up! The PS3 can only become
more attractive as a development opportunity in the future. Especially with people rewarding excellent gameplay experiences with decent sales, as seems to have been the case with
Uncharted.

Now all we need, is to get Ratchet And Clank TOD (another worthy million seller) to 1 million sales, and we are sorted.

I just bought Ratchet & Clank. So mark one more notch for R&C.
I got Uncharted for xmas. It's a wonderful game, although it gets too 'shooty' towards the end. Graphically, it makes DMC4 look like shit. I was expecting some really awesome graphics for DMC4, but I have to say I'm really dissapointed. Is it cross-platform? Maybe that's why...

This is a game that I'm looking forward to buying. I'm still working through Ratchet & Clank now. Nice to have such a good game to look forward to.
After Devil May Cry 4. I'm a Dante groupie.

If it sold a million then what are the numbers for rentals? If all the people that rented the game had bought it that would have been well over a million. Renting games is good but at the same time it hurts sales. This is the best game on the PS3 and everybody should have a copy of it.

Well, it kinda hurts sales. The Blockbusters, etc. still have to buy the games to rent them, so those are counted sales as well I would imagine.

I actually think that R&C:ToD is probably the best game on PS3 (just my personal preference), but I do agree with you that Uncharted was fantastic.
Very much worth the price of admission.

i also loved R&C but as for the renting thing, these games are too expensive for me to buy and play through one time. so basically for me, if a game doesnt have multiplayer or isnt a title that i already have a couple of in my collection (ala R&C) then im just going to spent $8 rather than $60. i usually sit down and crank out about 6 hours at a time on games like this so they dont take that long for me to beat, a couple days tops. still a great game, but is just hard for me to get replay value out of games. (ive beaten R&C like 5 times though, that game is addictive)

why not the LS2LS7? said...
I do want games to sell, but honestly I have to think of myself first. Sometimes buying makes sense for me (I bought R&C 5 and Resistance). Sometimes renting makes sense for me. And sometimes borrowing makes sense for me (I borrowed Heavenly Sword and Uncharted).
I kinda wish I had bought Uncharted instead of borrowing it, but in general, I just have to do what I need, not what the developer would have me do.

Awesome. I'm glad the good games are finally getting the sales they deserve. We need to get these sales numbers up there so developers will consider us a worthy platform. I can't believe UT3 is still at like 200k sales. And Warhawk, 370k? Geez.

That may be Warhawk retail but nobody has mentioned the PSN numbers yet. That's how I bought my copy. And I just picked up UT3 2 days ago...getting burned out on COD4 with all the 'host ended match' and other nonsense that goes on with that game.

JJ said...
dont forget nate that Warhawk number may just be for retail, not taking into account Digital Downloads and UTIII....its just been having a rough time, at least it hit almost a quarter million on the 3, i dont think even the PC version is half that

There'd be a load more sales if it wasn't sold out everywhere in the midlands and online in the UK. I got a copy when it first came out, none of my friends have been able to buy it so far.

Should that say "Past" or "Pass"?
