Uncharted 4 Has Sold 8.7 Million Copies Worldwide

ThisGenGaming says "It looks like the final chapter of Nathan Drakes story has been a huge success as Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced tonight that Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End has sold through 8.7 million copies worldwide."

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

Holy shit!!
8.7M without being a year old yet.

"Uncharted 4 is the highest rated game of 2016 and has already won over 100 Game of the Year awards."

Another huge milestone ^
Well deserved! It is a phenomenal game

Killing it.

For the people trying to act like this is all from the bundle of 6.2M over the holiday, you're wrong.

Uncharted is the new Halo.

[Overload]

"now fast forward to present day and you believe halo stopped selling at 5 million."

No, but it sold less than Lego Marvel Avengers and Driveclub this week in the UK.
https://mynintendonews.com/...

Those games came out before it too.

[freshslicepizza]

with sales like this you know there will be another uncharted game, even if naughty dog is not directly making it

[Eonjay]

This explains why we are getting a new Unvharted. Its easily the top selling exclusive title this Generation.

[NewMonday]

WOW!

Uncharted 4 outsold Halo 5, Gears 4 and Forza Horizon 3 COMBINED!

[BizarroUltraman]

Congrats to Naughty Dog!

@GTR35, can't help yourself, always gotta bring Xbox up even tho you didnt need to.
I also think that the sheer amount of PS4 gamers to Xbox gamers would warrant exclusives and third party games selling more on PS4. Thats an 30mil+ extra gamers to buy said game.

PS4 54 mil gamers to buy Uncharted
Xbox 22mil gamers to buy Halo
But I know you guys will find a way around that, and tell me that the install base doesnt factor in.

[Yohshida]

@BizarroUltraman

Yea, can't make that up for real. Halo 5 stopped selling after 5 Million and 12 months of sales are not important. Meanwhile the console with 2:1 lead can't manage to get way more sales for its biggest selling IP than Xbox. The game got thrown into EVERY bundle this holiday and still hasn't outsold Halo anywhere near 2:1. You guys shouldn't brag about that.

But congrats to Naughty Dog for Uncharted 4.

[bouzebbal]

This game deserves the praise it's getting !
9 million in les than a year is a pretty incredible accomplishment.

[Deadpooled]

That gif is epic! Uncharted 4 has the best taunts ever.

[G20WLY]

People are still buying this at a fair old rate! Two people that I know who grabbed a Pro for Christmas, also grabbed this game straight away.

The fact that they've supported the multiplayer so well is fantastic. They keep adding content, modes, guns, maps, skins, taunts, perks, so much stuff to keep it fresh and people playing. I NEVER struggle to get a match, whatever the time!

[game4funz]

Whos acting like thats the case?

All i know is your acting like that may not have boosted its sales at all.

You said it yourself.
6.2Million over the holiday
Bundle probably gave it a huge boost and that is in no way a bad thing.

[lastking95]

Rofl haven't we had this convo you two? Halo sales 5 million in 3 months and stopped selling? 😂

OT and not those silly clowns, congrats ND well deserved

[Christopher]

All from the bundles? No. Mostly from them? Absolutely.

[ziggurcat]

@eonjay:

"This explains why we are getting a new Unvharted..."

we are?

[Fist4achin]

That was definitely an accomplishment for Naughty Dog. I wish there was a holiday deal for the game as far as price. I would think after 8.7 million people have bought it, a price drop would have happened.

[TGGJustin]

The game was on sale at various retailers. You could get it for $24 at Best Buy a couple weeks ago.

[Lime123]

Best selling exclusive this gen: U4 - 8.7 million
Best graphics this gen: U4
Highest rated game this year: U4 - metacritic 93
Highest rated exclusive this gen: U4 - 93, SMW - 93
Most GOTY awards (so far): U4 - 108

[Kribwalker]

Well it was bundled with a large amount of the 6.7million PS4s sold during the holidays, so I'd expect it to sell a lot. Once I finish the Nathan Drake Collection I'll be another one to buy UC4

[Overload]

"Uncharted 4 First Week Sales Surpass 2.7 Million"
http://blog.us.playstation....

It sold 2.7M in one week, that was around 7 months ago......

[Lime123]

Halo 5 - 5 million shipped
Gears of War 4 - don't want to see how low the number is

Plus U4 is only 8 months old, still cost 40$, still needs GOTY version come, still need Tge Lost Legacy come. So i expect in the end over 10 million sold. U4 probably/will sell more than Gears of War 4 and Halo 5 COMBINED HAHAHA

[Kribwalker]

@lime @overload

Halo 5 sold 5 million within the first 3 months

http://wccftech.com/halo-5-...

Then they started bundling it with systems consistently (much like uncharted 4) so I'm sure it's at least 7+ million after it's been out another year

[Lime123]

Remember this https://twitter.com/aarongr... ?

Where is Greenberg now?

@kribwalker

I'm bringing press releases and your giving a forum post (from 343) that's not even official and your imagination.

[Kribwalker]

@overload

The numbers are direct from Frank Connor

http://m.neogaf.com/showpos...

There really isn't a question if it comes from the director himself

[Sparta07]

@Kribsalter, why are you so angry? Does it hurt that much?
You wish halo sold that much.
🤣

[Kribwalker]

I don't give a crap how much halo sells, I know whenever I go on, I find a match almost instantly, I'm not even the one that brought all this up. I said I'd expect a lot of sales of uncharted 4 when it was the top selling bundle 2 months in a row, of course that will sell a lot of copies when you sell 6.7million over the span (obviously not just that bundle as the pro was counted in there as well as other bundles) and these clowns come in comparing it to halo, which has sold quite well.

[UCForce]

You do care Halo 5 sales. Don't try to pretend you are not. Let's be honest here, Uncharted 4 have its own league now.

[Liqu1d]

Nice spin.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Lol I love the bitterness. Say salty.

Halo used to be a Megaton property, it used to break huge records...

They over-saturated and overused that intellectual property so much that people don't feel the necessary need to pick up a Halo. If you treat an intellectual property like an Expendable that is how consumers will begin to see it expendable and easily replaceable ie " oh I forgot to pick up Halo 5 this year no worries I'll just pick up Halo 6 the next year" that's the attitude lots of consumers have.

Regardless of how you're trying to explain how Uncharted got those numbers there's no reason why Halo could have not received the same numbers if simply packed in the consul's if that's what you're trying to get at.

Yet... consumers have multiple options in terms of bundles that continuously shows the Uncharted 4 bundle..

So I'm not entirely sure where any of you guys are getting at that it was bundled in as if that doesn't count as a real sale at the ending of the day any Uncharted fans who waited to buy a PlayStation 4 because of Uncharted clearly selected that bundle for a reason.

This isn't the first time when short it has been bundled with the PlayStation in fact this isn't the first time any exclusive has been bundled with a platform.

Sorry but 8.7 million sales is still 8.7 million sales.

Sony never forced anyone to purchase that game , people made the very open decision of picking up a PlayStation 4 with a copy of Uncharted 4. ( clearly more than they did Halo 5 bundle or otherwise )

Something is definitely worries um if Uncharted is almost going to outsell Halo 5 and Gears of War combined lol

I'm sorry buddy but people choose the bundles they purchase just as much as they choose purchasing a game.

[Major_Glitch]

Halo 5?! LMAO! That game...no...that whole IP is IRRELEVANT! Just like the Xbox One.

[jc12]

its a good game, not phenomenal.

[guyman]

Accolades say otherwise

Like it or not, the game is phenomenal

[jc12]

Meh. You tell me what makes the game "phenomenal'? Sure, the graphics were amazing, but the gunplay was average at best, and downright frustrating at times. Moreover, there was absolutely zero character building or progression throughout the game, making the experience seem a but dull or stale.

I think UC4 generated a lot of its sales based off of the first three. It had a reputation, and people were excited to play the 4th installment on the PS4. Either way, how someone feels about a game is subjective. Again, it was good, just not otherworldly.

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

But it is. Say what you want, but what ND has accomplished here is something extraordinary. The graphics, the Gameplay, the story... Everything flows nicely. It is not a game without its faults or perfect, but that doesn't matter. The MP could have been better, but it is a good value

And of course the success of the trilogy preceded U4. It is a great franchise and one nobody would miss. And to me this is the best Uncharted game in the series. It is very polished and the Gameplay is much better

[trooper_]

Congrats to Naughty Dogs and Sony. I still have to get this game to complete my Nathan Drake collection.

[IamTylerDurden1]

8.7m sold and 108 goty awards. Damn, Drake went out the right way.

[FamilyGuy]

Is this really a surprise?
I mean come on, have you seen Uncharted 4?

[UltraNova]

More importantly, have you played U4?

[King_Lothric]

And all that by being exclusive to 1 platform.

[UCForce]

Well, holy shit ! Now that's awesome.

[eagle21]

It makes me proud! I remember back in November 2007 purchasing and playing Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and was blown away. I instantly became a fan of Uncharted as well as Naughty Dog. When NPD figures came in, "xbots" were trolling the 130,000 sales it had sold in the USA launching November 20th (giving it a week worth of NPD sales). I was so frustrated at that moment that they would diss such a phenomenal new IP but I knew deep down that word of mouth would win. And it did!!! Now look at Drake. Looking good there buddy! Uncharted 4 already 8.7 million and a series that has won more awards than I can count with each game a huge success. Good times!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Why o why]

Npd was their beating stick even though it only represented NA....now its being used against them...what goes around...

[eagle21]

...comes right back around....haha

Bit them right on the ass. I hope those guys have played the games by now. Judging by the numbers...hmmm...I think so! haha

[Moonman]

@myeye

Were you one of the Xbots?? Lol

[Bigpappy]

Thats a good number of sales. But it also means that there are over 40 million PS4 owner who did not care to buy it. Point being: if you follow the numbers, they say that most people don't buy a console for its exclusives, but for its capabilities. Some people do, but everyone who bought uncharted did not buy PS4 just to play uncharted. Some just wanted to see what all the fuss was about, just like any game that gets a lot of attention. So less than 20 percent of all PS4 owners bought their number one exclusive. Same with Halo. Exclusives are a selling point fir a console, but not the major selling point. It is in fact the specs and the 3rd part support. This is because games like very different types of games, and it is very rare for a console manufacturer to have a game that the majority bought the console for. Nintendo is a rare breed. Wii sports was probably the only recent game that a majority bought the console to play. Mario used to be able to do that.

[UCForce]

"Sigh" You just love nitpicking at Sony, don't you ? Don't try pretend you are not, because you are doing it. People can say the same thing about MS. And you don't want MS to be hurt. I'm serious, not trolling here.

[trooper_]

...What?

[Sunny_D]

When you have to extrapolate such a whack theory about a game to make yourself feel better as to why it sold, then you know it's causing you some sort of feeling...

[game4funz]

@UCForce

He brings up a good point. No need to downplay it.
Shame on all those playstation owners that didnt buy the game is pretty much what Im getting from his comment.

[Nyxus]

There are more exclusives than Uncharted.

[Why o why]

The weakest shallowest downplay I've seen in ages. Talk about deflecting to the new apologists mantra about exclusives not mattering anymore. This is what MS's policies does to people. Its pretty sad and funny to witness at the same time.

[Clunkyd]

People being insecure at its best.

[Bigpappy]

I have said the same about MS many times. If you care to go have a look at my comments about Scorpio not needing MS to open a bunch of studios to sell it, you will see I am actually very consistent with my views. Halo sells about 20 percent too. I actually even mention that in the above post.

[Razzer]

Ok.....and? Seriously....what is your point?

[FallenAngel1984]

Uncharted is now doing better numbers than Halo. It's official.

Great work on releasing the highest selling game in the franchise Naughty Dog

[TGGJustin]

I remember when people use to say that Uncharted would never sell numbers like Halo did. How things change.

[UCForce]

Yup, the tides has turned.

[gangsta_red]

People said that?

I remember *holds pipe* when people wouldn't compare the two because they were two completely different games.

I guess Halo stays on people's minds.

[Overload]

"I guess Halo stays on people's minds."

Obviously not like Uncharted.

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

I'm not the type that put words on people's mouth, but I remember they would say Uncharted will never be big a halo and all kind of shit. Fanboys of both groups have said a lot of things, but this gen hasn't been a great one for the xbox fanboys in particular always expecting something for xbox one to outsell or catch up to PS4. Now Scorpio is their last resort...

Other than that I agree Peole shouldn't be comparing these two games. Besides, GT is bigger than Halo and is Sony's biggest IP yet. Let us not forget that

[Kribwalker]

Well if halo 5 sold 5 million within the first 3 months, to half the install base, I'd say that's really solid, as the attach rate for it would be quite a bit higher then the attach rate for uncharted 4

[Kurdishcurse]

i also remember when ps4 owners on n4g werent so insecure that they have to keep comparing figures to dilude themselves into thinking they bought the right console. they are both non creative and bland shooters sugercoated with oscar bait performances. especially uncharted.

[IamTylerDurden1]

Gangsta,

Halo and Gears aren't anywhere near as relevant as they used to be bc they decreased in quality since they lost their original developers.

[game4funz]

I remember when people didn't care.
What I think is funny is people are comparing the 3month 5million of Halo 5 with the almost a year 8.7million of Uncharted. Also the 8.7million seems to be including digital which would include the 6.2million consoles sold through the holiday which included a bundle with the game I believe. I also think the bundles come with digital codes now.

Uncharted sold over 2.7 million first week...then you add the 6.2 million console rush. And offset a few million since launch and you got yourself 8.7 million. Don't think those numbers are a coincidence.

All in all this is great news for Naughty Dog since they make great games. I hope TLOU 2 is amazing like Uncharted 2 was the heavy hitter for Uncharted series.

@gangsta
It is very funny to see that actually. I cant begin to count how much bashing Halo receives from a certain fan base all the while they keep putting up there with their favorite franchises.
Halo is still huge outside of playstation fan forums.

@IamTyler
Halo and Gears have not gone down in quality since the shift if anything theyve gone up.
Both Halo and Gears multiplayer is top notch, better then all previous games. And the campaign for gears is my second favourite after the first. Gears quality dropped after gears 1 and it went back up for me with gears4.

Halo 4 was the best, for me, in the series. Halo 5 dropped the ball with no couch co op and strange story decisions but the gameplay is the best so far that ive played.

But Im glad you liked the quality of the previous halo and gears : )

[Major_Glitch]

Hey xbots, go out and support your system of choice. Somebody has to. Have you seen their numbers?

[Thatguy-310]

Uncharted has always been an amazing game. Now that the ps4 is the market leader many had a chance to dive into the series with this new installment. If I were Sony I would revive a lot of IP's from last gen because I'm more than positive they'll flourish this gen. Take Resistance for example.

[PhoenixUp]

The franchise'? Uncharted 4 is on its way to becoming Naughty Dog's best selling game of all time

[Tussin187]

Yes and even with those numbers Sony will let ND do their thing and create a new IP(hopefully). Let the series go on a good note and not oversaturate us with the same game.

Thanks ND for a fantastic ride and I look forward to anything you do. My body is ready for Last of Us 2.

[Notwithrocksteady]

Halo 5 is past 10 million sorry.

[TGGJustin]

You got a source for that statement? No I didn't think so.

[Notwithrocksteady]

Don't need a source, it sold 5 mil at 3 months at $60. Do you really think it didn't sell anymore since its been less than $30 for close to 9 months ? And was free for a time.

[UCForce]

Well, how about this, Uncharted 4 sold way faster than Halo 5 in first week. More importantly, Uncharted series is its own league now.

[badz149]

@Notwithrocksteady

LOL

Next you will say the Xbone is already at 40mil or something, right? It sold quite well for an xbox at 500 and now should be doing way way better at 279, right? I know talking out of your ass is easy but please stop because it stinks! Provide proof

[Notwithrocksteady]

@badz you don't have any current halo 5 numbers or any numbers from Microsoft so what proof do you have that uncharted 4 outsold halo 5 ? Do you always going into things with half the facts ? And yeah I wish Microsoft would release there numbers but they haven't, But you don't get to make up your own numbers.

[trooper_]

Source?

Oh, wait...there is no source.

[MasterCornholio]

Link?

I can give you a link to Uncharted 4 sales.

http://thisgengaming.com/20...

"Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced tonight that Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End has sold through 8.7 million copies worldwide since it launched back in May 2016. Sold through means that customers have bought so this is a huge success for both Sony and Naughty Dog."

Also this is the closest thing that I could find for Halo 5 sales figures.

http://www.vgchartz.com/gam...

Total Sales to date : 4.48 million

I know it's VG charts but they are usually not far off the official figures even if VGs doesn't track digital sales.

P.S

I didn't read your PM.

:P

[Deadpooled]

@fantasticPS4

'If halo is past 10m, why don't MS give a press release birdbrained bot?'

Because Microsoft love to release pointless figures like the number of copies SHIPPED to retailers, the number of bullets shot or number of miles driven or number of zombies killed in their games. Simply shows a lack of confidence in their product.

[guyman]

Lmao, desperate fool

[Kurdishcurse]

why would u bring halo here? why is everyone saying that? jeezuz....no matter.
they are both low grade mediocore shooters anyway.

[Deadpooled]

I get suspensions for basic comments from the mods, yet looking at this guy's comment history he's allowed to run his immature filthy mouth off on other innocent N4G users?

[alb1899]

Well, Halo 5 sold more than 5 millions in an install base of 12millions and Uncharted have sold 8millions with an install base of more than 40millions......Is it a fair comparison?

[DeadSilence]

WHAT A FUCK*NG BEAST!

Imagine Last of Us 2 numbers, 10m first month probably lol

[eagle21]

Last Of Us Part II will rock the gaming industry. More good times ahead!

[SmielmaN]

LoU2 and Days Gone could be huge.

[James Vanderbeek]

I like uncharted but love love TLOU. The multiplayer in tlou is some of the best I have played since cod4

[Irishguy95]

I'm so happy I didn't get a Ps4 yet. The day I do I will have a small armada of amazing games just sitting there....undressing from their boxes and simultaneously entering its disk tray

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

That was me in 2010 when I got a PS3. It was tough to catch up and play new releases simultaneously. If I were you, I get a PS4 this year. There are plenty of games coming

[Irishguy95]

Within 2 months I will have one(And a Pro at that). Due to the fact that I have to catch up. I can do Uncharted in a weekend(As i've done all previous Uncharteds, it was like...a weekend to look forward to every second year). Then Infamous Second Son...Bloodborne may be in issue with the length but since Souls are some of my favorites how can I miss it? Last of Us remastered needs a hit since I thought the original could use some extra performance, whats left...oh the last guardian...looking forward to that since its reveal.

I need to get them done before....the others release.

Curse doing a masters while working! Its such a time thief(cookie for reference)

I also did that with the Ps3, however I got it just after Demons Souls releases in the East and imported.

[Why o why]

Study hard bro.. good luck.

[IamTylerDurden1]

Irish,

I'd add Driveclub, Ratchet & Clank, Salt n Sanctuary (if u like Souls), Resogun, Transistor, 1st Light, Alienation, Gravity Rush Remastered, Gravity Rush 2, SFV, Killzone SF, Rise of the Tomb Raider on Pro, Helldivers, Enter the Gungeon, Driveclub Bikes, Drake Collection.

[Bronxs15]

U can skip second son. Worse game in the series. Boring and sorely down by it after playing infamous 2. Second son was the first game I bought with my PS4. I was sooo let down.

If u also have an Xbox , I'll add sunset over drive was AMAZING tho.

No fanboy bias business I own all concsoles.

[Movefasta1993]

Don't mind the dislikes , some people spend their lives on n4g and take this shit way too seriously ,your comment was fine

[game4funz]

I think some people are jealous that this guys' got discipline and they dont.
lol

[game4funz]

Also try Ratchet and Clank its really good.
If you have a PC you can play some of those listed by @IamTyler and might even be able to get them cheaper fyi.

You also have upcoming Persona 5 if youre into them and Horizon.

If you've been able to hold off this long maybe I would try holding off till after the Scorpio Release...who knows
maybe Sony has a response to that console. Such as an immense price drop on the pro.

[blawren4]

This shows what patience can do. Not being an early adopter is great if you can do it. Would be a valid comment for either of the three consoles. No gaming droughts...ever

[TGGJustin]

Big congrats to both Sony and Naughty Dog on the sales success. Almost 9 million in just 7 months is pretty great for an exclusive.

[0ROSOY]

Thank you naughty god

[Kurdishcurse]

this sounds dirty.

[UCForce]

It's sound about right. None of MS First Party Studio can reach that level of Sony First Party Studio.

[showtimefolks]

No doubt part of this has to do with game quality and the increasing interest in uncharted series but ND's name means a lot in gaming community. The last of us 2 I think will sell 12-15 million

Games that use to sell better like halo and gears have slowed down a lot and these other IP's from Sony are selling head to head or even better

That's where Sony has the guts to say enough and move on while ms will make another halo trilogy after halo 6 and di am sure we will continue to get gears and forza. Even R* have said they want to rest the GTA IP and that's saying something about a game that just sold 60 plus million and is still being sold for regular price

Time for Phil spencer to learn some lessons if he is really interested in making Xbox a global brand instead of a brand for just fratboy dude bro shooting fans

With uncharted 4 dlc in 2017 I can see uncharted 4 getting to 10-12 million in 2017 which are great numbers

Imagine if ND were an independent developer imagine the money and the full on court press to get them

I hope for their 2nd team they go for something totally different with a new IP

Congrats to Sony too and now buy insomniac since they learned their lesson with fuse and sunset overdrive selling so poorly and ratchet and clank doing so well. Insomniac is known by their PlayStation fans and they need to understand that

[Herbalistic]

Halo and Gears are tired franchises but Microsoft will continue to rely on .They should instead let 343 and The Coalition create something fresh..There was no reason for Microsoft to scrap that new project from The Coalition just to toss them onto Gears.Its the same reason why the original Bungie guys left because they wanted to work on something different but couldn't because all MS wanted was more Halo.

[YEP414]

Uncharted will never touch halo numbers...halo 5 numbers even tho sony have double the system...halo 5 gross over 150 million in profit it first week....uncharted the next halo stop it!!!

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

You are right. Uncharted is never catching up to halo in lifetime sales because Halo is an older franchise and ND will put Uncharted to rest

However, in a similar way Halo will never touch Gran Turismo.

[Kurdishcurse]

finally someone mentioned gran tuismo.

[game4funz]

Its nice to see fans of racing everywhere when mentioning sales.
I personally only like Mario Kart, Fzero and burnout. Twisted metal too.

[Moonman]

Drake would rather touch Elena than halo anyways.. ask BUNGIE to please touch halo again...LoL

[Kurdishcurse]

both drake and elena are badly written characters anyway. that includes masterchief. so both console owners can keep playing their talentless mediocre shooters.

[UCForce]

@Kurdishcurse You are not helping, buddy. You sound very much like the person who I hate in N4G community.

[game4funz]

No thanks. We've all seen what bungie does when they touch too much...Destiny.

[81BX]

Honestly you guys sound like a bunch of meat heads. Comparing halo to uncharted and uncharted to halo. Neither has anything to do with each other. Just droids and bots trying to stoke a fire

[Redemption-64]

@YEP414 You are actually very stupid, here lets mess with you a bit, using your own numbers, if Halo grossed about or over 150 million in the first week, that should roughly equal about 2.5 million copies. Sony announced Uncharted 4 did 2.7 million in a week, so you are right U4 did not touch halo 5 numbers, it transcend and crashed them. Sad day for you. You can bring up the 500 million halo sales if you want, but we all know that number included, hardware, software, micro transactions if am not mistaken and halo 5 related items.

[trooper_]

Wooow, let's compare a newer franchise with an older franchise!

Seriously, you guys are funny.

[0ROSOY]

It'll be imposible not to get uncharted 5

[Irishguy95]

Hmm, i'd like if ND move onto something new. Continue the last of us and move on, create another new franchise. Notice that whatever ND create are of a certain quality.

Crash
Jak/Dax
Uncharted
Last of us

whats next?

[Deadpooled]

I remember reading online about Naughty Dog trying something related to Space.

Edit - nope it got debunked http://www.playstationlifes...

[game4funz]

ND has already stated they want to move from Uncharted. We'll see if theyre allowed to.

I think The last of us 2 is the answer. If it does increasingly well im sure we wont see more of uncharted for a while after the stand alone expansion. But if it doesnt do great in sales then we may see some more uncharted.

[trooper_]

I'd love another Uncharted but a new IP wouldn't hurt either.

[Bebob]

Considering that the PS4 sold over 50 million units....Its not THAT much. I think its strange that many users didnt bought one of the best game for PS4.

[Razzer]

LOL

[PhoenixUp]

Way to downplay huge success

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

You people are naive

[Stogz]

Halo 3 sold around 12 million units on over 80 million systems, that's around 12 percent. Uncharted sold almost 9 million on 53 million systems. That's almost 20%, see the difference now.

[trooper_]

Your attempts to downplay the sales are really sad.

[Sunny_D]

Do people actually expect a game to sell 50% of a console's install base knowing full well not everyone has the same game preferences. FACTS: Uncharted 4 IS the best selling exclusive to date.

[game4funz]

Is it?
Didnt Halo reach over 10 million in one of its iterations?

Edit: http://www.vgchartz.com/gam...

@rude
So Halo 3 sold the most at around 12million based on vgchartz.

So why all the disagrees?

Halo4 and reach did close to 10million thats only a 2million difference from Halo3

Halo5 was the worst selling iteration but that may have a lot to do with no couch co op since it is the only one without it.

#Facts

[Rude-ro]

@game4funx
Halo 2 was the last game with massive hype and sales, halo 3 fell under that and it has declined since

[Liqu1d]

@game4funz GT3: A-Spec sold nearly 15 million.

http://www.vgchartz.com/gam...

[ApocalypseShadow]

But we were told Sony exclusives don't sell./s

Good job naughty dog.

The cool thing to see, and we constantly, constantly can't state this enough, is that Sony continues to support developers that take risks. Sure, some games get canceled like getaway or 8 days that is disappointing, but the ones that get through are top quality.

And these top quality games like uncharted help fund the smaller, riskier new IPs that create new franchises. Do the smaller titles sell millions? Not always. But for those who aren't into GT, uncharted, god of war, the last of us, etc, may find a title in the group that they may like that might turn into a big property. But you got to try to find that new game and not just rely on the same games over and over.

Lastly, seeing Sony world wide studio's teams split into two was a great thing too. If naughty dog only concentrated on one game, we would have never gotten the last of us. Which is now naughty dog's hot property.I would however like to see some money spread around to bring back 8 days

getaway
https://m.youtube.com/watch...
and make a sequel to the order 1886.
https://m.youtube.com/watch...
Which was a short but great Victorian experience. Which would be two new franchises and one old one from PS2 days. To go alongside the last of us 2

[Moonman]

I REALLY wanted to play Eight Days..(that was when Phil Harrison was still at Sony and E3's). The trailer is still nice. I still have the E3 06' trailer on my PS3. I agree, Sony finds new IP on another level. They are not afraid to offer something completely new. I have this one:

Sony will probably have a kick ass E3. 2017 just feels right. ;p

[Sunny_D]

Me too. The slick animations and transitions from cutscenes to gameplay was so dope.

[hiawa23]

To be fair the PS4 has a large userbase, so it seems interesting, that immediately the first comparison some gamers want to make are Xbox franchises. U4 is a great game, no doubt but come on, can games just be successful, and given their due or credit, without some wanting to use it to tear down other games on other platforms?

"can games just be successful, and given their due or credit, without some wanting to use it to tear down other games on other platforms?"

It'd also be nice to know how much other Sony first party titles have sold as well

[XXanderXX]

That's it , come on now that can't be right someone is doing some bad math somewhere. Theirs 40+ mill PS4 out there the math don't add up .........

[Doabarrelroll]

53+million PS4s sold, and 8.7 is impressive, more than any other exclusive on any other console

[XXanderXX]

Impressive would be 26.5 million had been sold , but 8.6 million worldwide illustrates that their are some who rather run their mouth than buy the games . which is just a shame.

@overload post all the gif u want but the truth is the truth . There are some in that install group who rather talk up games than buy them just so they can feel good about their purchase.

Show me the halo 5 numbers. Halo 5 hit 5 million 3 months after launch and has been on sale for over a year. If you think it didn't sell another 3 million after another year you're just stupid.

[fromchildren]

Pokemon and Mario says hi

[Razzer]

@XXanderXX

dude....just stop. The entire Gears of war series didn't sell 26.5 million copies. And there are still a hell of a lot more Xbox 360 consoles out there than PS4s. You're just making bullshit up again.

http://www.usatoday.com/sto...

[Overload]

You were only the entire Wii U fanbase or Xbox One's sold in the US off the mark!!!!

[FITgamer]

The downplay is real. Only Nintendo has exclusives that sell 50% or more of the install base. That's because they get very little 3rd party support. Even the highest selling multi-plats aren't doing those numbers.

"but 8.6 million worldwide illustrates that their are some who rather run their mouth than buy the games . which is just a shame."

Yes because 50+ million users are vocal on the internet lol. You sound hella ridiculous.

[Kribwalker]

Halo 5 hit 5 million in 3 months with half the install base....that's a better attach rate then 8 months to 8.7 million

[Sunny_D]

Kribwalker,

Attach rates is the phones go to excuse in the same way MS execs want to tell you how many headshots were made in a game.

[XXanderXX]

Ridiculous is an install base bragging about how many units it plastic box has sold 50+ million worldwide but yet its top franchises 4th release has only sold 8.6 million units worldwide. That is ridiculous and shameful for a base that talks numbers at every chance a story is published anywhere.

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

So why doesn't every other exclusive top its console sales?

Are you People really that naive or you just play stupid intentionally?

40+ M consoles sold does not mean 40+M active consoles. Also don't expect everyone to buy the same game. People borrow games, rent, or wait for bargain bin or sales... There are so many ways to get a product these days that don't count towards their sale numbers. Also keep in mind Digitall salea and bundles...

8.7 M in less than a year a big deal. Lifetime sales should be even more.

[Notwithrocksteady]

So you're admitting that ps4 doesn't have that much pull in the market considering not all those ps4's are active still, like my launch ps4 that I sold.

[Doabarrelroll]

So does that apply to EVERY Xbox exclusive besides halo 5,
please tell me the last Xbox exclusive that has done even CLOSE to UC4............without having to be ported to PC.
stop downplaying and have this salt.

[PizzaSteve]

Same can be said about Halo and Gears too right? UC4 sold more than them.

[SR388]

I agree it don't make sense!

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

It would make sense if you weren't as naive as the OP. No software sales will ever catch up to hardware's. Also this is just 7 months later after release. Ko lifetime sales. The game will keep selling with word of mouth and future DLC.

Also digital sales are not counted towards it. Neither are people who rented, borrowed, or are not interested. No eveyone is gonna buy the same game, and not all those 53 M consoles are actually active. And if they were, there's no guarantee every gamer has the same taste and will buy the same game

[Liqu1d]

The downplay is real, 2017 is going to be a rough year for you people.

[drizzom]

Is this related to the news saying playstation sold 6 mil ps4s during the holiday season? I know Uncharted was sold as part of the $250 bundle. I have a copy from that but it really isn't my kind of game.

[Profchaos]

8.7 million and you still can't buy a cheap 2nd hand under 15 dollars copy must mean people are actually holding on to these games.

Personally I absolutely loved it but I didn't buy it I borrowed it from a mate and smashed it out over the course of a week.

Can't wait for the dlc or now standalone

[ClayRules2012]

Congratulations Sony, Naughty Dog, and the entire cast who contributed so many years to this genuinely Amazing & Remarkable series that has changed the gaming industry in many ways.

I remember buying Drake's Fortune & thinking "WOW. This game not only looks so amazing "Best looking game I'd ever seen at the time" not only that, but Drake, Elena & Sully were the first game characters to make me feel genuine emotions for them. All of them were very well acted, thanks to Nolan ( Drake ) Emily ( Elena ) Richard ( Sully ) these characters were very likable. Going from that game to see what the series & these characters have become & what these characters mean to gamers & non gamers who've watched family members & friends play the game & get to experience these wonderful & engrossing adventures from the first game to the 4th & final/BEST Uncharted game "in my opinion" is something really special.

The 8.7 million Copies Sold Worldwide is a shocking & great achievement. But to have continued making the series evolve & grow, get better with each new game in the series "I'll include U3" even with it being my least favorite STORY wise, it did improve on things. To end the series in such a beautiful & genuinely respectful way for Nathan Drake & his family Elena, Sully, and long lost brother Sam, and all of us fans honestly carries more weight & meaning to me, than these amazing sales numbers.
Naughty Dog genuinely respects their games, the characters they create & help bring to life, and their fans. As long as they always stay TRUE to who they are, and what they believe, their work ethnic, I'll always be here to give them the respect & love they deserve :)

[gamerswin24]

Just the other day lol some know it all was saying "Nintendos top five selling exclusives on Wiiu sold more than any PS4 exclusive" womp think again. Uncharted 4 is beastly! Every new ND installation has been selling more and more. TLOU 2 will sell crazy crazy numbers.

[loverlink]

Congrats!

[Automatic79]

Uncharted 4 did great sales selling 2.5 units as a stand alone, however the pack in sales with PS4 slim selling 6.2 million through holiday helped bring sales to 8.7 million. Good Job Sony and Naughty dog.

[FITgamer]

You could use that same logic for XB1. Almost every XB1 exclusive since launch has had it's own bundle.

[Automatic79]

@FITgamer

Really you taking what I said in a wrong way. Uncharted is great game, no need to feel a certain way.

[Overload]

"Uncharted 4 did great sales selling 2.5 units as a stand alone, however the pack in sales with PS4 slim selling 6.2 million through holiday helped bring sales to 8.7 million."

"Uncharted 4 First Week Sales Surpass 2.7 Million"
http://blog.us.playstation....

No, you're just wrong.

[TGGJustin]

It's really amazing how people make dumb statements like he just did. 2.7 million in the first week alone. It probably did close to 4 million the first month. It wasn't bundled with the Slim until September which was 4 months after launch.

[UCForce]

Well let's just say this. You just have MS loyalty just like I have one. I can say the same thing about MS and you can say the same thing about Sony. So no, @FITgamer is right about that.

[Liqu1d]

Great spin.

[VsAssassin]

Congrats to ND on this huge achievement. Now if Horizon: Zero Dawn delivers on every snippet of feature that has been revealed so far, GG can expect the same magnitude of success sooner or later!

[RAM0N]

Congrants to the NaughtyGawds

[RGB]

108 Game of the Year awards as of 5-1-17.
Highest Rate Game of 2016 with a 93 Meta rating (would have been 95 without the joke Washington Post review).
And now 8.7 million copies sold to consumers as of 21-12-16.

Just an incredible number really, that's higher than; Any Gears of War game ever and only behind Halo 3, 4 & Reach yet it's only been on shelves for 7 months, 11 days as of 21-12-16 when the data was recorded by Sony. A massive achievement, Naughty Dog deserved it, now I can't wait for The Last of Us Part 2 and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.

[Notwithrocksteady]

It's behind halo 5 also.

[guyman]

Can you give us figures?

O wait i forgot, sorry, you cant

[Sunny_D]

The atrocious grammar and the lalalala with fingers in his ears that notwithrocksteady is doing tells me he's about 13 years old.

[Rimeskeem]

According to VGchartz Halo 5 has sold around 4.5 million units.

http://www.vgchartz.com/gam...

The same site puts Uncharted 4 at 5.4 million units

http://www.vgchartz.com/gam...

The site has a reputation of under tracking Sony figures.

another site has Halo 5 at 5+ million.

https://www.halowaypoint.co...

Sorry kid, there is no possible way Halo 5 sold an additional 3 million units in the last 6 months. That is unheard of.

[Razzer]

Nope. If Halo 5 hit sales number that you claim then you know Greenberg and Spencer would be screaming it to the heavens. No.....just no.

[RGB]

Halo 5 sales at best would be 7 million (retail + digital), Uncharted 4 sales only account for 7 months and 11 days of trade, Halo has been out for over a year now.

[medman]

I'm calling it right now.....The Last of Us Part II is going to sell 20 million units.

[SR388]

Half that lol

[Rimeskeem]

Idk anymore, TLOU sold 6 million copies overall I believe. The PS4 will undoubtedly have a bigger base once TLOU2 does come out. Let's assume that the base will be at 80 million by that time (sales will increase this yeat due to he sheer amount of exclusive titles).

Uncharted 4 attachment rate is 16%. Let's say TLOU2 matches that. That would be approximately 12.8 million copies. But knowing that TLOU is arguably the greatest game ever made the attachment rate might be closer to 20% which means around 16 million copies.

Of course this is speculation based on history.

[BarneyS]

@Rimeskeem
TLOU sold 6 million overall? Sony anounced 7 million in july 2014 for PS3 alone.
http://www.ign.com/articles...

Inlcuding Remastered TLOU sold more than 10 million easily.

[fromchildren]

10M is more realistic.

[Orionsangel]

Alright Sony, you got enough money now. It's time to sell Uncharted 4 Digital Version for $19.99.

[Liqu1d]

I bought the digital version for £3.75.

Edit: PS Store. It was on sale for £19.99, I got a £15 Amazon gift card for free which I used on a PSN top up and I had a bit of change in my wallet so I only spent £3.75 on the game.

[Orionsangel]

Where?

[Relientk77]

Thats awesome, well deserved. What a masterpiece

Glad that many people bought it

Congrats to Naughty Dog and their hard workers, and Sony

[2pacalypsenow]

Wow!

[Blu3_Berry]

Well deserved indeed. Shows how dedicated playstation gamers are to their top exclusives.

[StormLegend]

One of the best games created!

[Ceaser9857361]

One minute silence for those who thought UC4 will have a tough time making it to 5 m.. Burn haters.. UC4 was beautiful, amazing.. easily 10 /10 .. Hope it makes it to 10 m by May 2017

[Gamist2dot0]

ND deserve it. They did a great job of ending the series. Can't wait for TLOU 2!

[Redemption-64]

I can already guess, the BGST crew and their fans will be downplaying this news as a failure within the next few hours.

[Liqu1d]

They'll probably do a 3 hour podcast crying over this news.

[sullynathan]

lots of sales

[Notwithrocksteady]

Xbox one has half the install base of the ps4 yet halo 5 is well over 15 million and uncharted 4 only sold 8.7 mil while having to be included in bundles. Xbox gamers buy more games than PlayStation gamers on average. Keep living in dream land guys.

[Stogz]

Notwithrocksteady19m ago
"Do you have current Halo 5 numbers ? No ok then, carry on lol."

You don't have current Halo numbers either. 15 million is a joke and a straight up lie. You go after someone for faking #s for halo then you do the same. Your butt hurt is hilarious with you all over this thread trying to downplay this news. Stay salty fanboy!

[MasterCornholio]

Notwithrocksteady "Halo 5 is past 10 million sorry."

Notwithrocksteady " yet halo 5 is well over 15 million "

So first you said that it was over 10 million now your saying that it's over 15 million.

That's all fine and dandy but where is your source that they sold 5 million more copies in-between the posting of your two comments?

For someone who knows everything about sales you sure do give out many different numbers for the same thing in a short period of time. It almost as if your not sure what the actual numbers are especially since you don't give out any sources to back them up.

P.S

Halo 5 also had bundles since launch as well. Even during black Friday there were Xbox One S consoles bundled with the game.

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/x...

I believe that's 5 Halo games bundled with the only UHD console on the market and it's priced at 279$.

[Razzer]

Holy crap! Halo 5 sold 5 million copies in less than an hour?

[Skankinruby]

Lol just take a seat kid, you're getting tangled up in your own desperate fabricated nonsense

[guyman]

" Keep living in dream land guys"

Boy, isnt that ironic

"Xbox gamers buy more games than PlayStation gamers on average"

You're making yourself look stupid mate

[Nyxus]

Then why does Microsoft refuse to give out sales numbers?

[Razzer]

cuz they are not good

[Sweetbrandigirl]

SUCK IT CD / SE ! You could have sold this many copies of Rise of the Tomb Raider if you hadn't screwed over yoru fanbase, instead your game failed and you killed a great franchises.

[Ninver]

I'm still yet to purchase the game so add another sale to that soon.

[mark_parch]

wow that.s great. i guess this is proof we shouldn't pay attention to vgchartz as they have it at 5.3M

[MagicBeanz]

Awesome! Congratulations to Naughty Dog and Sony.

[madmonkey01]

Does that include bundles? either way that's good numbers for any franchise on any console in history.

[MasterCornholio]

Congratulations Naughty Dog and Sony.

[Movefasta1993]

Wooooow well deserved ,I finally reached spoilers. Libertalia and it's amazing

[IamTylerDurden1]

Now bring on Lost Legacy.

[SR388]

Ok, so 50 million ps4s sold globally, and only 9 million cared to buy Sony's flagship franchise? What does that tell you lol ... Still well done yeah, I did enjoy the game wasn't the best but I did like it :) ... I can't get my head around it lol

[MasterCornholio]

That around 18% of PS4 owners bought the game?

That isn't bad you know.

[DashArrivals]

20 million Xbox Owners and Forza Horizon and Gears sold F-All when you compare it to the install base.

[Razzer]

That ratio is better than the vast majority of games regardless of platform. Still can't get your head around it or don't want to?

[Xavy]

hahah BAAAAAAAAAAM,

[shadowT]

Great game!

[Bjorn-c-blocker]

Casuals buy a lot of casual games..is this news?

[Rimeskeem]

So Halo, CoD, CSGO, Rocket League, Overwatch, etc are all casual games?

[Bjorn-c-blocker]

Yes, ,all of them are. CSGO only has high sales because it is dirt cheap.

[1nsomniac]

Still don't think it's the best in the series. In fact I'm not 100% sure it's the second best. That's just my opinion though.

[SynestheticRoar]

This year GOTY, hold it up.

[ironmonkey]

Wow damn congratz naughty. Well deserved

[jaymacx]

It's amazing how far Sony/naughty dog have come. I remember in the Ps1 days saying Sony mainly just has 3rd party. Naughty Dog has turned into one of the best developers out there. I am happy to see great games get the sales they deserve. I can't wait for their next project

[lastking95]

Lol dis comment section doe. I think the ps4 gamers on n4g (if they even have one lol) enjoy xbox more than actually playing ps. When a ps4 announcement is made and the first thing you think about is xbox to hate! You enjoy xbox more. When a ps4 exclusive release and you bring up xbox, you clearly more interested in xbox. Half the time don't even have facts rights rofl be the funniest stuff ever it honestly makes n4g a bit better due to comedy.

[Liqu1d]

Judging by your comments you seem to enjoy PS4 more than Xbox.

[LP-Eleven]

Spot on!

OT: Fantastic sales!

[masterfox]

Awesome!!

[ILikeGamesYeah]

Ive had an xbox one since release (please don't throw things at me) and finally got a ps4 for crimbo. I completed U4 last night and it was incredible. I'm still in that limbo stage now where thers no point in doing anything as everything is worthless in comparison. Ive only felt like this after Metal gear solid and dark souls

[DashArrivals]

If you haven't yet, then you should play The Last Of Us. You could play Uncharted4 Multiplayer, but after I was done I played on the hardest difficulty possible. The Multiplayer is really cool though.

[ILikeGamesYeah]

Next on my list ;)

[Liqu1d]

Get Bloodborne if you haven't already.

[joab777]

Not too shabby for an exclusive! They deserve it though.

[Nathan_Hale53]

Legendary series. Glad it is having so much success. One of my top 10 favorite series!

[Kyizen]

"If you own a PS4 you should own this game" ~ Angry Joe. Come people get buying!

[IIFloodyII]

It's kinda crazy to think Uncharted 4 has probably outsold Halo 5 and Gears 4 combined, when last gen it and Gears were pretty much neck-and-neck saleswise. Anyways congrats ND and well deserved.

[theshredded]

Meh this game is no doubt there best but I hate ND a lot why you ask? because they're trying to be like movies. Skip all the cutscenes in The Last of Us or Uncharted and you'll see how flawed and generic there games really are or simply play the dumb and godawful mp mode which reeks of f2p in taunts (remove that sh*t seriously), microtransactions, playable story characters for whatever reason and so on. But hopefully this will encourage more linear games and less dull open world ones. Whereas real games like Titanfall 2, Dark Souls 3 and Dishonored 2 aren't getting as much love as they should.

[Razzer]

Then go give Titanfall 2, Dark Souls 3 and Dishonored 2 some love.

[DFresh]

Great game.
Deserves all of the praise.
Such a shame the multiplayer is trash compared to Uncharted 2/Uncharted 3 MP.
Hate the revival system, melee spike one kill is OP, recoil is way too high and the controls are weird.
I'm gonna give the Survival Co Op Mode a shot again but the multiplayer in Uncharted 4 just isn't my cup of tea.
Too much like the Last of Us very slow paced.
Either way congrats and I look forward to the single player DLC "Lost Legacy Expansion".

[corroios]

Uncharted is the number one franchise in the world and this game is still selling. Nd will have the budget to make more blockbusters. This is the power of a system seller, a real exclusive, a game that set the standard at 1080p just bring more games like this.

[King_Lothric]

Huge accomplishment!

And all that by being exclusive to 1 platform.

Exclusives do matter! Take note Microsoft

[SublimeStylee2]

Not to mention the 6.2 million ps4s over the holiday sold!! I'm not 100% sure but I think most would prob be the slim uncharted bundle so imagine how many copies are ACTUALLY out in the wild. Pretty impressive!! :))))

[James Vanderbeek]

Just wait for the last of us 2. This game might sell even more.

[RedPill86]

I'd like to see the number without counting bundles. Counting games bundled in for free isn't a good stat. Sony and Microsoft are both guilty of this.

[sampson3121]

it's not including bundles.

[sampson3121]

I'm afraid if i say something positive about Naughty Dog and its success with UC4, this site will band me for being "inappropriate".

[Skankinruby]

Lol tru dat, whoever regulates the comments on this site needs to be fired

[kevnb]

thats way more than I expected, great job!

[WelkinCole]

I remember a time when xbox fans laugh their heads off when someone compare Uncharted to Gears and they always refer to sales. Now Uncharted is not only bigger than Gears but also Halo sales wise. Top it off also reviewed better and ND are brave enough to not milk it any more.

[Djinn]

SIC PARVIS MAGNA INDEED BAYBAY. I still remember being blown away by UC1 and UC2 all those years. Uncharted has come a long way. Makes me proud to see all the success the Naughty Gods are having.
