5 million (if the US performs similar to UK percentage-wise) is not a tall order for Uncharted at all, Uncharted 3 shipped that many in its first month alone.

we want greenberg!
Well he's not going to say any game is doing badly. And I'm sure Halo is selling VERY well. Just not up to par with the series standard.
Seriously, Phil's PR is so tame and adorable compared to Greenberg's.
I want to see that 20-page GAF thread.
Phil Spencer is happy about Halo 5 sales, so I guess Halo 5 did really well in US (I doubt it doing that well in other countries).

Well, this is nothing. He can be happy even with 1 million sold worldwide for what we know.
( Just a example )
After UK sales I think 3 million is impossible in just 5 days. I believe will be less than 2 million in NPD and with digital maybe more than 2 million.
Tim Dog sure gets a lot of face time with Mr. Spencer.
Yea it can be nothing or it can be everything lol.
That said I wonder if the talk of the UK numbers will force MS to put out some sort of statement?

Didn't he say Sunset exceeded expectations or something?

is there talk about it? or only here?
Well the UK chart tracker is now public knowledge. I'd just be shocked if they gave us no sort of PR with it being out on the market for a week.
He really said this!? lol ._.

This really would be strange. MS always was known for aggressive PR (that's not bad, by the way) and masterful spin. Not giving any comment now almost looks like fatigue.
did fake kaz give a twitter statement yet?

I think Uncharted 4 will have massive sales if it reviews as well Naught Dogs last few games. None of Sony's biggest IPs(Uncharted, TLOU, Gran Turismo and God Of War). have released new games on PS4 yet so I don' think you can make that judgment on the strength of their exclusives. It is clear that multiplats rule now though and it has been that way for a while.
I'm not sure we'll get sales numbers for Halo 5. Msft said they wouldn't be talking numbers anymore - what's not to say they are referring to all their properties (hardware/software)? Also, interesting how the tweet added "....and XBL usage" along with game sales. That's the parameter they're gauging success with. Kinda funny if you ask me.

Hummm... I guess 7-8 million lifetime is fine for Uncharted 4.
That would match the average sales for the trilogy (21 million/3 games = 7 million), we also know that Uncharted 1 only sold 3 million, so there's 18 million to split between UC2 & 3, other info we have is that UC3 sold twice as much as UC2 in its debut week.
Yep. This franchise had an insane growth from Uncharted to Uncharted 3 anyway.
Zero to Hero ... ( Hercules style )
They said that will not report quarterly HW sales.
About software, for long years MS doesn't reveal specific sales number, so nothing new.
Where did you get this info about UC3 selling twice?

I do believe Uncharted sold more than 3 million but I'm a bit tired now to find anything lol
It probably did have legacy sales later on, but it can't be more than an additional 1 million.

lol, what else should he say?
I believe shipped twice more? Isn't clear in the news.
Anyway, I remember the 3.8m shipped on day one figure, to bad that Sony don't reveal other updates to have an idea about sales legs, but with combine franchise sales maybe shipped around 7 million? Don't know...

If anyone said months ago that the best lineup in Xbox history would fail to gain any momentum to Microsoft. That would be crazy, everyone would laugh.
We have a similar situation right now and that's Sony's time now. By march 2016, I think everyone expects U4 to close an amazing fiscal year for PS4. That's what's expected. If people will eat crow like some are eating now with microsoft lineup and Halo 5 we don't really know. We'll need receipts.

Yeah, we don't know sales for every individual title, 7 million is the minimum because it's the average across 3 titles. But it can't be 7 million because the first game sold like shit (relatively).
The overall number doesn't includes Uncharted Vita? There's also Uncharted Dual Pack that adds sales for the first two games.

"Halo as a franchise is dead. Killzone and Haze killed it. Long live PlayStation!"
Or something.
It doesn't, in the PR for the 21 million they said it's only the titles included in the Nathan Drake Collection.

It does not count the Vita game .
I would say UC is most likely around 7 to 8 million .
Either way it going to be interesting see if the IP grows again with the PS4 install base.
The Uncharted franchise sold 8 million just one month before UC3's release according to Sony's PR in October 2011:
http://www.jp.playstation.com/info/release/nr_20111004_uncharted3.html
(It's in Japanese, but use Google translate).
Since then, the franchise sold an additional 13 million units. UC3 very likely sold ~10 million of that, the remaining 3 million can be attributed to the double pack re-release & legacy sales.
EDIT: Actually, the 8 million includes the double pack sales, since the double pack released in September.

Historically, bad games in the franchise results in lowered sales in the next game in said franchise. The Master Chief Collection (and, come to think of it, AssCreed Unity) was an unmitigated disaster, and so I'd expect the sales of Halo 5 (and AssCreed Syndicate) to be noticeably, negatively affected.

No doubt, he is saying exactly what a guy in his position is supposed to see.
My point is we probably can't take anything from that comment.

Dat MAU.
Well, the game that I was talking about above.
Fallout 4 is likely to show significant growth as well, FO3 barely sold 6 million, & I think FO4 can sell 10+ million.
I am not sure there is anyone who could tell you what UC3 sales are. The series had a huge jump in total sales to 21M after UC3 came out yet IIRC Sony never mentioned UC3 crossing the 10M mark.
Agree with this. I think Fallout 4 will sell over 10 million too.

Lol, they could have shipped a total of six copies and his PR tweet would be the exact same.
It is weird that Sony never mentioned 10 million, but we didn't get any update on TLOU sales since August 2014 (it was 8 million), & that game has been bundled with nearly every PS4 since last holiday, so that game probably crossed the 10 million mark easily by the end of last year with no PR in sight yet.

I will never understand why Phil, Greenburg and Major Nelson interact with Tim Dog so much on Twitter, it's funny....I even think they gave him E3 passes this year...He is quite an interesting Twitter user...

I noticed that too, they had to get the usage stats in there, since they just stated that is their metric now....
They will have some legit Halo PR very soon, but at the latest, it will be NPD PR....Especially if Sony wins October, expect lots of Halo PR from Microsoft...
He's just a harmless fan on twitter, he never did anything malicious.

Funny doesn't equal malicious. I never said that he was malicious, but his post history on Twitter is fun....No wonder MS loves him, he is like their free PR department...
Agreed TLOU should have crossed the 10M mark at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if UC3 did as well (I just thought it was kind of strange that Sony hasn't announced it yet).
