One million units sold: Uncharted 2 has done this photo

#PS3 #Uncharted

At the recent “Digital Entertainment Conference” in New York this afternoon -- which created a number of stories on the site right now -- it was revealed that PS3-exclusive Uncharted 2: Among Thieves has sold over a million units, making it the most popular game named “Uncharted 2: Among Thieves” on the planet.

SCEA senior VP of business development Phil Rosenberg broke the news, saying simply, “As of last week, we’ve already sold over a million copies in just a couple of weeks on the market.”

Again, the number isn’t quite 4.7 million, but its still damn spectacular for a console-exclusive title starring a male protagonist without space armor. Or a chainsaw. Or a need for Agility Orbs.

Halo 3 Beta.... nuff said.

Arsenic13

Crackdown was still a great game.^

Tarvu

Yeah, crackdown was great and worth buying on it's own merits. I bought it with my Xbox 360 Elite months after the Halo 3 beta.

I just don't understand why so many developers feel the need to add multiplayer to sequels recently.

Onlineatron

Never said it wasn't a great game.

But it wouldn't have sold nearly as many copies without the beta.

Uncharted 2 made money CONFIRMED!

pascuz46

Hmm I should have said something there. Anyways what I wrote before as: Great for Naughty Dog they made a great game. I hope it sells more.

Brendan Keogh

Yo, Uncharted 2, Ima gonna let you finish and all, but Modern Warfare 2 had the biggest release of all time. OF ALL TIME!

Sexualchocolate

Congratulations Naughty Dog, you made a fantastic game and deserve all the revenue you get.

All those commenting with "Halo, or Crackdown" bullshit - don't forget, Uncharted 2 is limited to the (until-recently) expensive, yet feature laden PS3, not the cheap mass appealing 360.

It would be retarded to expect Ferrari tyres to outsell Ford Fiesta tyres.

Mass appeal does not correlate directly to quality.

@ Sexualchocolate

Yeah there alot of WEEBOLS posting today.

ArcticFox

Uncharted 2 was a great game. Great to hear the guys over at naughty dog

And to those getting their panties in a twist about the Halo 3/Gears/Crackdown line. IT WAS A JOKE. Lighten up Nancys. Nowhere does he say they're bad games. Uncharted 2 was just as good, and just as much fun as your precious space marines. Accept it, or better yet, try it and stop whining. Crackdown was an awesome game though.

ChaosTeaCup

"It would be retarded to expect Ferrari tyres to outsell Ford Fiesta tyres."

Nope. It would be retarded to equate PS3 to ferraris, and 360s to fiestas. Unless you're alluding to the fact that only cunts drive ferraris ;o)

Onlineatron

@Sexual Chocolate.

The only reason I mentioned Crackdown/Halo3 Beta is because Brad insinuated it was a game that sold a lot 'Agility Orbs'... but that was not of it's own merit.

(again, not saying it's a bad game... i'll stop beating the dead horse now).

lewness

Kudos to those guys! Now, let me finish Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and I should be able to catch up on you. Of fuck, Ratchet and Clank. Dammit, which one?

Qraze

great for them. its such a great dam game, every part is extremely enjoyable and just crafted with so much attention to detail. my eyes melted.

Trebz

Unless something else gets in the way, this has my favorite singleplayer campaign of the year. They deserve every bit of money they get.

CaptainBus

@ArcticFox
You make a good point, but trying to stop whining on the internet is like trying to stop poop from stinking.

AdamantiumHip

oh noes modern warfare 2 should watch it's back!

Robbo the hood

Uncharted was a great game, I think you're selling it short. With Uncharted 2's ad push on top of looking the part of an amazing sequel to a great game, I don't see how this is spectacular at all, well deserved of course, but expected. Uncharted isn't some niche title, no matter how much more attractive it is for some people to not play the games of the "common gamers".

BattyAdroit

Yay Uncharted 2! Honestly, the best game I've played all year.

KwikPwn

I think Uncharted 2 would have sold twice that if it was a 360 exclusive. It's like PS3 exclusives are coming out on the wrong platform.

fozzyozzy

Yay Naughty Dog.

Sidenote, Nolan North (Mr. Nathan Drake) also does the voice for Sigmund in R&C: Crack in Time. Santa Monica studio needs to call him up for something in God of War III just so he can have the PS3 exclusive hat trick.

killerpickles

Just need to beat Uncharted first before I can play this...

dwolfwood

Somehow this going to turn into ps3 vs. 360 whinny bitching.

damn idiots.

Anyways, it's a good achievement that's dwarfed in comparison with the highly successful MW2. Though, like you said, MW2 had a much larger fan-base and much larger platform install base.

I see it still as a win for Naughty Dog, and more than reason enough to keep that DLC coming with plans for a sequel.

sprldr

Well done, Uncharted 2.

NubPhiSh

well deserved success hope they reach the 2 mill

Black Nexus

cool, they will probably get another boost during the holiday period too, good to hear uncharted got some spotlight.

ninjalegend

I'm glad it sold well. Every time I play a great game, I hope it does well. This truly was a masterpiece in my opinion. The sales mean a sequel may be on the way, but better yet, the studio will receive the money they so richly deserve. They may even use that revenue and their skill to release something else great upon the world. As far as another game selling more, who cares unless you have a huge amount of stock invested in said game. If the game you like does well, your developer will reap said rewards, and chances are you will see more of them in the future.

EnigmaticHarle

This is awesome. Naughty Dog is an amazing developer and I hope they (and Insomniac) stay around for as long as I don't have carpel tunnel.

Corak

Great for Naughty Dog, it's an awesome game.

j3tbl4ck

Uncharted 2 is the Game of the Year!

I own MW2 which is a very good fps but it doesn't have the beauty, fun and personality that is Uncharted 2: Among Theives.

KingSigy

How could MW2 beat this? You can't get attached to any characters because there is no personality involved. Love the Uncharted series, even if the games are unoriginal as hell.
