Uncharted 1 sucks. Uncharted 2 was good. Uncharted 3 was mediocre. Overall it's a weak series that isn't very beloved or popular.
Uncharted isn't a system selling franchise, the only reason it's fairly popular now is because it's the most bundled franchise on the HD consoles. Look at the amount of fans it has on Facebook fan-pages for example, God of War has 4.6 million, Gran Turismo has 1.8 million, LittleBigPlanet has 1.2 million.... the biggest Uncharted fan page? Just 635K.
I would add Sony Santa Monica's new IP to the list and remove The Last Guardian and change Uncharted 4 to a new IP from Naughty Dog. I hope Naughty Dog announce another new IP for the next generation console and Sony have another studio continue milking Uncharted.
An exclusive deal with GTA5 will steal the most of the next Xbox's thunder, an Uncharted 4 reveal & news on The Last Guardian, will have no effect.
That analyst got it WRONG! Why is every game site reporting on one morons clueless estimates as if they are facts?
According to a source from NeoGAF who has access to NPD figures (which only track US sales for those who don't know):
God of War: Ascension sold 570,000 units alone and 630,000 including sales from the God of War: Ascension Legacy Bundle. It was actually a HUGE success, the 3rd biggest release in the genre of all time. It sold that well with 'mixed reviews' (apparently an 80% average is mixed nowadays, everything should average over 85%) and horrendously poor marketing/advertising. That is a huge success.
630,000 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 360,000.
Maybe that analyst from Cowen and Company got the first two numbers mixed up? Or they just suck at their job. I think the latter is more accurate.
And to the idiots saying SSM need to work on something new, in the past few years they've worked on God of War III, God of War: Ascension, Journey, Flower, Starhawk, Twisted Metal, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale and much more. In addition to that they also have a brand new AAA IP which will be built in-house for the PS4 whilst the GoW:A team work on something else. Get your facts right before making assumptions that they just work on God of War.
The only game I'm interested in is God of War: Ascension, God of War III is the epitome of a masterpiece and God of War: Ascension is going to top it and take its place as the new most critically acclaimed and best-selling game in the hack 'n slash genre of all time!
