They're waiting for those first week global engagement numbers.
Barely. AW 145K - http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/npd-on-the-red-dead-alan-wake-and-split-second-retail-showdown/
QB had two more weeks of tracking, though.
That would require people who care about wave race.
On this planet, I think they number in the dozens or so. Can't confirm for other solar systems.
This rememb me Microsoft with Halo 5, no pr at launch.
Splatoon > Uncharted 4 confirmed
You jest, but excluding bundles, Uncharted 4 has the potential to outsell Halo 5 and Quantum Break in their respective debut months combined. Worldwide, Uncharted 4 will easily outsell the three you mentioned combined. Now that you mention it, I want to see the fake Kaz Hirai tweet Greenberg about it.

Its gotta happen!
Since Fake Kaz is probably a Gaffer, here you go to help with the tweet, lol!
Ignorance is bliss.

Worldwide that probably will happen.
I think it's possible due to the performance of TLOU and the size of the PS4 base in the US that Uncharted becomes bigger than Halo this gen. That would be pretty amazing for Sony, but I find it hard to think of Uncharted as a "bigger" franchise...even if it is globally.
I guess TLOU is bigger than Halo 4 and 5 globally? I don't know how 4 sold other than the "Fast selling!!!11" thing.

Based on number crunching on here Uncharted 3 outsold Halo 4. It was almost a forgone conclusion that Uncharted 4 would be bigger because of the double install base and decline in Halo since Bungie left.

Yeah but how many "hours of engagement" does TLOU have huh?
When looking at the sales for the franchise there is absolutely no question Halo is the bigger franchise. But there is also no question that it is currently a franchise in substantial decline. The same cannot be said of Uncharted as it has a upward trending sales curve for each game and by most accounts it is expected to continue with the 4th entry being the best selling yet.
I guess you could say the former is a titan that has fallen whereas the latter has gradually climbed its way to greatness from small beginnings.

Wow that's an obnoxious tweet. The dumbest part is that means some analyst at MS ran that exact query and then decided to run with it internally, which then elevated, and finally got tweeted out. Just a bit gross. Would be gross if the other guys did it too.

Geez, everytime I see this tweet, I can't help but feel it was deserving that the PS4 is outselling the XB1 2:1. The arrogance of some of the MS execs is palpable. Wonder how Greenberg would feel if Uncharted 4 does outsell Halo 5, Quantum Break, Ryse, Sunset Overdrive, Forza 6 and Forza Horizon 2 combined in the long run.
Edit: Just realized that I missed out the key word "combined".
You did good Rex, you did good.
Would you say that Uncharted has nothing to prove because it has finally met a thief's end?

Now that you brought that up, how is it possible that MS has zero 90+ exclusive games on metacritic and PS4 has five. It baffles me that PS4 has five 90+ exclusive games on metacritic and people say PS4 doesn't have good games.

The only good games came out when people were 12.
And 12 year olds are playing on tablets now.

The Last of Us Remastered - Movie
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End - Movie
Journey - Not a game
Bloodborne - Meme
flower - A plant.
I don't know man. Not looking good for Sony.
Please see the sarcasm.
I pray at the end of this gen, someone writes a book on how Sony pulled off the comeback of the decade. Going from 3rd place back to 1st? The hubris coming from MS was immense.

Sensible people have never said this.
Can we please not appeal to metacritic as an authority on what makes a good game ever again. Citing it as some sort of an appeal to authority on what qualifies as good or bad is among the saddest of arguments I see on GAF.

Totally.
We should use gamerankings.com instead. Easier to parse and has a more clear methodology.
...if?

One of the best games ever. If they make it with shit gimmicks it won't sell.. Are of like blue storm, no.
More like the original which is really good, if will sell.
And a lot of people care or atleast should.
The only problem is they won't make it like the good one.
Well, Uncharted 4 hasn't even been out for a week yet, so we can't know for sure if it will outsell all those games I mentioned combined. Personally, I think it will sell slightly better than The Last Of Us, but only time will tell.
Edit: Oh, I see. I missed out combined. My bad.

I wonder why CBS Interactive even uses Metacritic for games as they own both that and Gamerankings.
Rather than looking at Uncharted being the bigger franchise, it's more of how far Halo had fallen from being THE biggest franchise. Not to disparage Uncharted/ND how far had come but I think that first point should be the takeaway.
Obnoxious is Aaron's middle-name. Not the worst tweet he's ever done.
