@bad22
I hate sounding like a troll but bad you must be stupid and literate.
It says 8 million for U1 and U2 combined in the whole article so VG chartz equal more or less win.

Damn 4 million copies of Uncharted sitting in store shelves

Gilgamesh (on 10 December 2010)

My god how can people still be clueless about vg chartz, VG Chartz = sold to consumers, Sony = retailers.

I think we need to have in the front page of VG Chartz, ALL SALES SOLD TO CONSUMERS!!!

elgefe02 (on 10 December 2010)

@bad22
Do know that Sony counts "sold" as sold to retailers and not necessarily sold through to consumers?

bad22 (on 10 December 2010)

VGchartz is wrong Sony has announced Uncharted series have sold 8 millions copies.
VGchartz is a fake website

sony has published to date 52 titles for the ps3 which 19 have become million sellers
Nintendo has published 68 titles for the Wii to date of which 27 have become million sellers

37 percent of sony's published titles become million sellers
40 percent of Nintendo's published titles become million sellers

Still if you like at the total of millions Nintendo games sale compared to Sony games. You see what games help move hardware, and which games do not. Not counting Wii Sports, but Nintendo has 6 games that have done 10 million plus. With more games almost hitting that mark. Where Sony doesn't have a 1st party game that has hit 5 million. WIth out 3rd Party support Sony is done, and with out it Nintendo can survive.

prime (on 09 December 2010)

haha Genera1MLD, relax little one.

Genera1MLD (on 09 December 2010)

lol you just cant get rid of the pathetic fanboy cry baby's can you "Damn the Sony Defense Force is out in full force!" (prime) ps3 is 3rd place "who cares" (salnax).

just give it a rest will you, only fanboys care about how many console sales totals for there moronic console war is head of the competition regardless of console failures or people deliberatly smashing them up only to buy more when there old 360/ps3 breaks, this is THEE most pathetic argument in the history of video games, never before has so many people squabled over somthing so pathetic especially when the average age is around 30 (lol a bunch of adults squabling like children over a console lmfao).

in the case of console sales its a different perspective for Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft as there business who employ people who depend on the sales of these consoles to keep them in work as well as secure future developments in the games industry, you fanboys need to take a step out side in the real world and escape you fixation with your retarded fanboy argument.

prime (on 07 December 2010)

Damn the Sony Defense Force is out in full force!

They should group the franchise games together (Call of Duty's, FIFA, Pro Evolution Soccer, etc) for all systems so we can see how many unique million sellers

pacific rift only did 1 mio ? that can't be right wasn't it heavily bundled ?

naruball (on 07 December 2010)

@DonFerrari
But the game had sold 2.7 mil in May 19 2010 on the PC, PS3, PSP, 360, DS, and Wii and I'm pretty sure that it didn't do well on the PC and psp.

whawhawha (on 07 December 2010)

and for those that care for a better gauge of what company makes more million sellers, you may need to factor in how many titles were published by each and find a percentage of how often they publish million sellers out of those titles...

sony has published to date 52 titles for the ps3 which 19 have become million sellers
Nintendo has published 68 titles for the Wii to date of which 27 have become million sellers

37 percent of sony's published titles become million sellers
40 percent of Nintendo's published titles become million sellers

looks pretty close to me.

whawhawha (on 07 December 2010)

Hannah Montana: Spotlight World Tour must been an awesome title that I missed out on too. Must of been a quiet  9... or was it even reviewed.

Be careful how you brag your side up Prime, because you can make it look pretty silly.

whawhawha (on 07 December 2010)

@ Prime

Have you ever seen those bins or racks at your local cheap or department stores that sell old bad wii titles for $5? Go take a look at some of those WII titles on the million seller list.

monster truck 4x4 world tour... That sold a million, because it was such a good game right?
Come on man, use your head. Given what the WII is and who it sells to, it better be on top with the most sales. There were some deserving titles on that list that I play myself, but they sell a lot of crapola and how do you think that happens?

Hephaestos (on 07 December 2010)

"Sony has only two games in the top 10, and eight games in the top 30."

that's where sony failed this gen... they let third parties suplant them in their audience's hearts. Why get a PS3 when the games most people want for it are not sony games?
Sure the stats don't include GT5 yet, but it's late already.

Kleeyook (on 07 December 2010)

Yeah, PS3 has over 20% of their own games on the million sellers list, but those game sale are not as big as Nintendo on the Wii. Third-party is big on PS3.
Isn't that why third-party publishers publish their games on PS3 and 360 but not as many on Nintendo's consoles? They know that PS3 and 360 rely heavily on 3rd-party games, while Nintendo doesn't really care since they have their extremely loyal fanbase to buy any games they release on their consoles.

eufdsauf (on 07 December 2010)

DonFerrari (on 07 December 2010)

It looks like, there is some "platinum'' in Europe with less sell

naruball (on 07 December 2010)

I'm pretty sure James Cameron's Avatar: The Game is also a million seller, since there's is platinum edition. Or am I wrong?

dsgerhrtj (on 07 December 2010)

GodOfWar_3ever (on 07 December 2010)

This really should be 75. Rock Band 1 sold 960k on PS3 in Americas....I think it would've sold more than 40k in other regions too...

pariz (on 07 December 2010)

@Salnax
Though I personally chose PS3 exclusives over X360, I agree with you.

Salnax (on 07 December 2010)

You need to go down to #5 to get an exclusive.

It was beaten by a multiplat game released less than a month ago.

This is why the PS3 is 3rd this gen.

binary solo (on 07 December 2010)

GT5 at 29th position with only 1 week of sales. Could be in the top 10 before the end of the year. Will be at least in the top 15.

Many more million sellers to come.

ZaP~ (on 07 December 2010)

It's me (maybe i don't know how to count :P) but there only are 3 games from RockStar that are million sellers and in the first list there should be 4
