Why do people think this series doesn't sell a lot. I've heard this on podcasts so many times but that is a pretty big number

Is this more than Gran Turismo?
This is important. Golden Abyss did good, no?

Yes, I'm sure the millions upon millions of copies they sold will make a difference.

This ish better be or I'm melting my PS4 in lava. Dead serious.
Not even close, GT is approaching 80 million.
Absolutely nowhere near. GT is one of the best selling franchises of all time.
Beaten.

It could be a regional thing, but it seems that the games do end up being a staple with bundles. Dont suppose that we will ever know a breakdown.

Well deserved, and I expect UC4 to add a decent amount to that total. Best game in the series.

Yeah, the collection was bundled over the holidays so a ton of software was pushed.

So the collection likely sold around 5 million?

Well it was bundled like hell. I imagine those count for the majority of the ND Collection's "sales."
The last number we had was 21 million (but that did not include GA, it was only the trilogy), my guess for the split is around ~3-4 million for 1, ~7-8 million for 2, and ~10-11 million for 3.
Uncharted 4 will at least match 3 imo.
No idea if this 28 million includes GA, but even if it did, that game sold 2 million if you're being optimistic, so the rest of the increase if probably from the collection (& maybe ~1 million legacy sales from the previous titles).

Thought it would have been way more than that.

It is one of my favourite franchises and it is an amazing one. Not surprised one bit by this news.
About thinking the games sold "little" isn't that because it's usually put up against what once the stellar sales of Halo?
PS. Or is Halo still selling really well and people commenting in the NDP threads hyperbolic?
Kinda neat.

I'm wondering if the figure includes the launch shipment of UC4 Sony already sold to retailers.
That'd be a disaster.
Uncharted 3 already sold as well as Halo.

Huh? That is around 8 million copies per episode (1 to 3), give or take...Those are top tier numbers.
Yes, I'm sure the millions upon millions of copies they sold will make a difference.
Not saying sales for Abyss are high, but having that title nearly a year as ps+ offering probably means it's numbers are significant.
And yes, I'm pretty sure Sony uses ps+ downloads in it's sales numbers.
It was 21 million with Uncharted 3, Uncharted 2, and Uncharted as for March 2015.
Those games can't have sold much more since that, so this mean Golden Abyss (ABYSS REX, yes ABYSS ) and The Nathan Drake collection sold almost 7 million combined.
Very good.
EDIT: I would say is something like < 2 million Golden Abyss and < 5 million the collection, but now this is just speculation.

PS+ downloads are never considered sales.

Halo 5 sold pretty well in general but Halo 5 did not perform well relative to the Halo franchise.
It was 21 million with Uncharted 3, Uncharted 2, and Uncharted as for March 2015.

There is also a card game on Vita.
I can't swearby it but haven't they officially differentiated PS+ and sales before*? Ofc that means that it can be a case by case thing.
Big numbers always look good.
* for example the attachment rate for PSV.
But the prior two games? Impressions can last a long time. Ask Microsoft TV TV TV TV TV.
Got it. It was the remasters that was bad?
year end, not lifetime.
it could be 7-8m lifetime if it will really sell 5 million in 2016, could be worse disappoint since is less than Uncharted 3, but not a disaster. Still very strong numbers, just not the best selling game of the series.
I think it will do 9-10 million lifetime, so all considering not even much under what i believe it will sell.
UC3 shipped 3.8 million in its first day and 5 million in its first month, and a few more million in the next few months, 5 million would be going back to the slow sales of UC2, I don't think 5 million is good at all, that's just as bad a fall as Halo.
EDIT: Even The Last of Us sold 6 million in its first year and that was a new IP.

It could have played a part. It could have been franchise fatigue and when it launched too. I'm not sure there is one major reason we could point to.

never listen to Arthur gies
never forget.
The fact that man still has a job in the enthusiast press boggles my mind.
my favorite Gies quote: "I fucking hate adverbs!" Said completely unironically.
Why? NPD is April. Sony will say something if the game sells well next week me thinks.

That final post is just hilarious in hindsight. Hell in any sight, seeing as UC3 was out by then.
It will. I think it will end up at something like ~12 million LTD.

Uncharted is a series that originated during a generation where the console it was on was much more successful outside of the US (in particular it was much more successful in Europe). So that means that the games also sold much better in Europe than they did in the US. And no US sites cover European sales like they do with the NPD. It's a big reason why you'll often hear US journalists talking about how the 360 won the last generation.

Kinda makes me wonder where TLoU is at. Probably over 10m by quite a margin.
It's not like Uncharted 2 sold bad
to be honest we don't even know how much sold Uncharted 2 and Uncharted 3 lifetime, we know they most likely did over 7 million which is the avg of the 3 games (since the first Uncharted has not sold much).Also, TLOU is not a good metric, i mean TLOU first month was bigger than Uncharted 3 first month in USA. Should this mean Uncharted 3 flopped? no... TLOU in general sold amazing good.

I like this guy, he is funny.
Like he fails so many times (still remember his pre reveal "scoops" about how much more powerful the XB1 than the PS4 is and how devs are extremely impressed by it) you start developing some sympathy towards him.
But what's up with him? Haven't been involved in a controversy in a long time, learned to think before he speaks?
