Naughty Dog's hotly anticipated new title, Uncharted 3, has broken records for the franchise, selling more than 1.1 million copies in its first week on sale - 30% higher than Uncharted 2's debut. This is the 4th biggest exclusive launch for a PlayStation 3 game, behind Gran Turismo 5, Metal Gear Solid 4 and God of War 3, further cementing its place as one of Sony's key exclusives. It's also the 12th biggest launch overall for the PS3.
Looking forward it's hard to estimate lifetime sales without knowledge on when/if it will be bundled, however 4-5 million is most likely.

"without knowledge on when/if it will be bundled"
What? The game already have 320gb bundles
Lol, maybe that explains why they think the PS3 only got a 10K boost (which would be normal without an exclusive release because of the holidays), they didn't know it was bundled.
Maybe I'm old fashioned. I don't know. Where I live, Uncharted 3 released on a Tuesday. It's still early Monday! I was raised to believe that a week was a seven day period. How do we get these estimates so early?
christ almighty, I have never seen so much below comments, people must really love hating on Uncharted
Lol whats with all the thumb downs in the comments?
Comments are hilarious. Since when was 1.1 million in one week bad? This game has a good chance of making 5 to 6 million which is amazing and you all are complaining? How man exclusives make it to 5 million?
Wow this comment section shows how much of a failure the like/dislike feature really is.
I think we just broke the record for the amount of comments below voting threshold.
Guess the "'Major FLOP" thread bubble bursts here
In your face MorenoIngrato!
Sigh
Joke thread with all the sources being Gamrconnect posts -_-
I'm surprised at the amount of people who took the bait. Succesful thread indeed.
Lol..just lol.
It's ok, morenoingrato, I got the point of the thread. And I know that's all that matters to you. :-D
And it deserves to sell every single copy, roll on Uuncharted 4.
Who made the ''Uncharted 3 is a major failure. We need to talk about it'' thread again? Damn fool.
SO many insecure fanboys bringing irrelevant games(halo,gears) in this article.....Im guessing its cause their "king of sales" game doesn't even get nominated in GOTY awards.
I've heard many positive comments about it, and now I'm feeling excited.
1.1 million is great. This is a better start than Uncharted 2 which has sold nearly 5 million.
Why is the man crying on the picture : is he disappointed by its sales ?
I have a feeling this will end higher than 5 million.
Awesome! Those Japan sales really helped with this release!
It deserves so much more :( mw3 will sell around 12mil first week but u3 only sells 1mil.. Fucked up games industry
Right? I blame the U.S. why are we so retarded :( I blame 5up3r1337snip3rz69 and m4d5killZ420
Who are you to determine what a game deserves to sell?

Hahaha, Nybbas reply ftw
Yeah, Americans suck!
It only sold 50k in the U.S. in its 3rd week according to Seece :(
I wanted this game to sell 2m first week.Not bad at all tho.
I'm am pleased with this....that is all
Haha, I viewed that major flop thread, pretty silly really.
This site and it's fanboyism is just pathetic... Anyway great opening for a great game!
5-6 million is pretty much a guarantee for lifetime sales.
No it isn't.
just like what you said about U2, huh seece. laughable
Brilliant to see a great game getting great sales! If it were up to me then it would have COD level first week sales! Mad people missing this gem!
The early stories were not wrong, they were only for NA numbers... not worldwide. This is a WW total. So given the numbers we already have for NA, it sold about the same amount in EA and JPN combined. You can say the game may deserve better numbers, but it is still a 30% rise on a game that already sold well. It will be fine
great game deserves more sales but always wondered why release this game between battlefield 3 and mw3
first week is pretty good. i remember Uncharted 2 only sold 870k first week worldwide.
if people expect this to sell like CoD then you're in a dreaming world. CoD have too many fans and it was multiplatforms, Uncharted only exclusive to PS3.

Waiting for final figures, may hit 1.2m.
i think lifetime sales will be more in line with 5 - 6 million.
Wish there were more games like this on the market. I love 3rd person action adventure games. That's why I'm sad that Enslaved didn't do better (Not a great game, but a good start.) Oh well, I guess Assassin's Creed: Rev, Zelda and Darksiders 2 will have to fill the urge in the upcoming year.
It sold just fine considering the launch window. selling 1.1 million between BF3 and MW3/Skyrim launches is fine. Of course we can debate if it was wise to launch it against these juggernauts.....
Game of the Year 2011. buy a ps3 guys. this is so amazing.
Congratulations! Well deserved.
Great!
I am not really sure why a game selling ~1 million deserves an article of praise. These are not exactly exciting numbers - in fact, this is only the 4th best release of the last month; Batman doing 2 million, Fifa 12 doing 3 million, and Battlefield 3 doing over 4 million.
Well, I can answer the bundle part. I bought the Uncharted 3 PS3 bundle. Heck it's the reason I finally got a PS3. Didn't get it before since my old roommate had one, so I played the exclusives on his.
This game will outsell God of War 3 for sure and Metal Gear Solid 4 in a while (over a year depending how it gets bundled.
EMAA is the future of PS3 and sadly not US....
yes and...japan boycott microsoft by chauvinism it's worse
Very respectable opening, but you think it would have did better considering how well U2 did.
It did 30% bigger opening than 2 if it keeps that ltd it will close in on 7mill
Quite frankly, I just find it odd that it only saw about 250K growth in sales. Why weren't more people excited about the successor? Perhaps U2 sales are actually bloated with bundles?
Can't you read? That was an Americas estimate and it was 550,000
The 500,000 was not wrong, the 500,000 was the sales only for the Us market in the first week. This 1.1 million is for the whole world in the first week.
