Sony: Uncharted 2 has sold over one million copies

We have no way of knowing whether that number is accurate, though with the NPDs due out later today, we imagine we'll be finding out soon if it's as inflated as Nate Drake's ego, or if it's as accurate as Nate Drake ... using ... using a sniper rifle. And shooting stuff. Like, in an accurate manner.

Heaven forbid Sony produce a seller, Joystiq.
Just gotta throw some jabs in there somehow, huh?

*troll detected*
It's a joke! They're not being anti-Sony! Please, think before you type!
Soulbreather @ Nov 12th 2009 4:35PM
That's not what a troll is god damn. When I was younger words meant stuff and we hunted for our food.

I've been wondering how Uncharted 2 is doing. Haven't heard anything about it for a while. But I wouldn't take Joystiq's blogging of the milestone as 'bashing.' It's unfortunate timing that this news came about after the numbers for Modern Warfare 2, because it sort of dwarfs everyone else. If anything, Joystiq is helping keep the buzz for Uncharted 2 going, so that people who haven't bought the title yet, are reminded that it's out there and doing well.

That's Sony's fault for releasing alongside MW2. They should have known better. More stupid moves by Sony, damn that company sucks.
DeepFriedSushi @ Nov 12th 2009 6:21PM
shit sucks.
Monkey Fetish @ Nov 12th 2009 6:24PM
Let's be honest, Joystiq is being stupid. A common malady of gaming blogs.
NPD tracks only North American sales, we don't know if the comments are indicating global or domestic sales in regard to the million quote. The MW2 figure quoted in the article for comparison includes global sales, hence the NPD as a form of confirmation is also inaccurate. Worse still, the jokes aren't funny.
Regardless, sales figures aren't an indication of how good or bad a game is. So snide remarks and aborted attempts at being witty are unnecessary.

@jordon I'm not the biggest Sony fan in the world, but come on!

And in other obvious news; Amy Whinehouse drinks a bit
NitroMikeo @ Nov 12th 2009 4:24PM
Good stuff. More games sold = Bigger budget for Uncharted 3 :D
skyzbig @ Nov 12th 2009 4:27PM
They all just wanted to stare at Chloe's ass.
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith-ATDF Co-Founder @ Nov 12th 2009 4:32PM
I was NOT staring! I was merely GLANCING in that direction!

The hair, the voice, the attitude, and yes, the ass. I consider Chloe my first video game crush.

I love hearing the voice of Elena, makes me feel happy :)
Durden @ Nov 12th 2009 4:45PM
Nevermind... Hyams just ruined her for me. Thanks a lot jerk face!

I think she was my first...she's hot, has a British accent...and a lightsaber. Perfect.
NitroMikeo @ Nov 12th 2009 4:47PM
I have a British accent, does that make me hot?
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith-ATDF Co-Founder @ Nov 12th 2009 4:51PM
Assuming you're a girl...that's a point in my book, yes.

Feel better?
Durden @ Nov 12th 2009 5:25PM
@ Hyams. First 2 pics were "forbidden" on my browser but #3 was much better thanks.
P.S. Female British accents are very sexy!

"I have a British accent, does that make me hot?"
Depends on the region, but to an American woman or gay male, yes. Now female Irish brogue does it for me. Red hair would just be cream on a very sexy cake. Since this is just fantasy talk, we'll assume she's supermodel hot too.
Hyams @ Nov 12th 2009 4:29PM
Drake's ego isn't inflated. He just really is *that* awesome.
LaughingTarget @ Nov 12th 2009 4:31PM
He's voiced by the same guy who does Nathan Fillian's voice, after all.
Deadpool @ Nov 12th 2009 4:39PM
Hey! He sounds the animated me!
Deadpool @ Nov 12th 2009 4:45PM
Not the video game me, but the animated me.The video game me is the guy that voiced Buster Bunny from Tiny Toons. Which is AWESOME! o_o
Hyams @ Nov 12th 2009 4:46PM
I first watched Firefly just after playing Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. It was a proper mind-fuck.
aristokrat @ Nov 12th 2009 4:30PM
In reference to Modern Warfare, I'm playing through COD4 right now (never played it somehow), and I think the thing that homosexuals should be most mad about with regard to the Fight Against Grenade Spam is being associated with anything so absolutely lame as the laziness of IW making Veteran hard simply by adding said grenade spam (they might have been talking about multiplayer, but I don't care). It's like the terrorists in that game must buy half the world's grenade supply. Unbelievable when 4 land right next you; so lame.
Kleptomaniac @ Nov 12th 2009 4:34PM
Yeah thats really nice.....but this is a post about Uncharted 2. I cant wait until next week when I can go online and read about something other than MW2.
In regards to Uncharted 2, this is really good news! While PS3 games usually don't sell millions in the first week they have a trend of building up their sales over time to a pretty good number.
DamonTheMoney @ Nov 12th 2009 4:48PM
STFU & GTFO
aristokrat @ Nov 12th 2009 4:51PM
Fair enough. I read MW2 in the paragraph and got mad. Stupid Borderlands and its keeping me from starting U2. At least this if the first holiday period I've got time to play lots of games. Must avoid multiplayer though, otherwise I'll never get anywhere.
DamonTheMoney @ Nov 12th 2009 5:00PM
Oh crap. I'm sorry for that post Aristokrat. I sort-of skim read your comment, and I thought you were saying that "homosexuals **shouldn't** be most mad about with regard to the Fight Against Grenade Spam". So I took your comment completely the wrong way.
Sorry I misread your comment man, you're completely right in what you said :-)
aristokrat @ Nov 12th 2009 5:05PM
Damon: No worries. It was a little bit of hyperbole.
Klepto: Sorry, I haven't been too pissed about all the MW2 posts because I've just skipped them, but I understand the point. And I contributed to the one million, and got my brother interested as well, for what it's worth.
rufotattoo @ Nov 12th 2009 4:32PM
yeah saying that uncharted is ps3 only and modern war fare 2 is multi-platform

Hey look, it's a life-sized statue of your ego!
xLordOblivionx @ Nov 12th 2009 4:34PM
I bought 3 copies =O
Kleptomaniac @ Nov 12th 2009 4:36PM
Do you also have 3 PS3's? And 3 TV's in which you play all 3 games at once?
xLordOblivionx @ Nov 12th 2009 4:38PM
Yep. I also have 6 hands and 6 arms, for which I use to play. Co-op is a breeze.
Mr.ESC @ Nov 12th 2009 4:38PM
I bought 999,997 copies.
I'm Mr ESC and I welcome you to my videogame warehouse.I'm overstock with copies of Uncharted and I'm passing the savings up to you!
Use uncharted as a videogame or as a door stop.It even works as a paperweight.
Uncharted on school,on the bus and over my hammy.
So come on down to Mr ESC Uncharted 2 warehouse.Just left to the Wiizer closed sweetshop and Fat Megan fox bathwater Depo.
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith-ATDF Co-Founder @ Nov 12th 2009 4:43PM
Actually...the ATDF knocked down the old sweatshop and bathwater factories for our new HQ...sorry.
It's the huge marble building, with the gold leaf statues, platinum doors, and diamond toilets.
When The Goddamn Batman is bankrolling the operation, you can buy what ever you'd like.
Liquid man @ Nov 12th 2009 5:27PM
Wait a tick.....
If you're playing Uncharted 2 on 3 different Ps3s at once......how can your 2 eyes keep up with everything!?

AvA (ice~) @ Nov 12th 2009 4:56PM
it is an excellent contender for MW2, Arkham Asylum and, I'm not really sure what else, I'd say L4D2 and Assassin's Creed 2 but those aren't out yet so I'll save my judgment
