It should come as no surprise that Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 2: Among Thieves has sold well so far. In fact, Sony Computer Entertainment of America’s senior VP of business development Phil Rosenberg says one million copies have already been sold.

Speaking at the BMO Capital Markets “Digital Entertainment Conference” in New York, Rosenberg said, “As of last week, we've already sold over a million copies [of Uncharted 2] in just a couple weeks on the market," said Rosenberg.

You can expect Nathan Drake to grab the top spot on today’s NPD Group sales chart.

    Good jod ND.  Great for an exclusive.  Keep 'em coming.  Everytime these results come in I wonder what happened to Killzone 2 (in its first month, anyway).  It took so much time to catch on.  That game was really polished, man.

    Nice job...:D

    in my opinion it should have sold more than that, and i cant believe that CODMW2 sold that amount!

    one of the most over rated games ever if you ask me

    Disappoint in what?  Who?  The game?  The people that didn't buy it?  If you want people to not disappoint you, go ahead an take your spy cyanide now.  You are no doubt comparing it to Modern Warfare 2, right?  If you aim for the lowest common denominator, you get the results everytime.  Behold!  The pantheon of successful products of questionable quality:

    Pop Music

    President Obama

    Star Wars Prequels

    World of Warcraft

    The Wii

    Transformers I and II....GI Joe

    American Idol

    ETC.....

    Wild popularity RARELY comes with quality in my estimation.

    I feel like im the only one who did NOT buy MW2 and dont plan on it anytime soon...  as for UC2 i was expecting somewhat high sales, i was expecting 1 million "worldwide" by the first day or two, not two or three weeks..

    With PS3 games they always start off slow then sell well after about a year. Hopefully this game does at least 3 million. Once it turns greatest hits and platinum it should have no trouble at all.

    Shame the advertising wasn't on par with the game itself, if there was some serious advertising, it would've done justice to a game like this. This game truely was a gem, outstanding.

    One thing to look at too is that we have such a wide range of games to play that we don't sit around for the next FPS to come out out of the 40 games I own I don't have not one FPS on my PS3. My PC is a different story lol.

     i was expecting higher to be honest. for the best reviewed game this year, its sad to see it not get up to 2 or 3 million. this game definitely deserves it.

    @12..  i didn't buy modern ware 2 either. it's so overrated 4 a game that bring nothing new to the table. it doesn't deserve my $60.

    I traded mine in for MW2 .. Uncharted was amazing but no replay on the MP and that's where it really counts if i'm going to keep a game around. I'll be playing MW2 until the next one...

    @ O_G_H true that like how Way of the Samurai 3 Isn't very popular but IMO probably one of the best games ever made

    This is in America right? Must be more worldwide.

    If this is america only #'s that would be great. If it's worldwide that is kind of disappointing

    All the gamers deserve to have this game and ND deserves to sell WAY MORE than this.

    Uncharted 2 was the best game I ever played. Simple like that.

    Modern warfare 2 sold 7 million because of it being on both 360 and ps3 but 1 million just being on ps3 is pretty good.  If all gamers want this game they will buy a ps3. It is a sytem seller.

     I am disappointed in PS3 owners.They have to be the dumbest of all the fanbases.We have the best exclusives and these people fail to buy them.This is the first time that i was ever a shamed  of being a gamer.

    I bought both uncharted 2 and modern warfare 2 both AAA games.

    Please add the rest of the worlds sales to that to get a better picture.

     

    Regardless, 1 million sales is not good enough for the best game of this gen so far.

    Please note that I shall not weaken that standpoint with a ginger beer "IMO".  It is the best game of this gen so far.

    Uncharted 2 is game of the decade. Nothing has moved me or given me so much satisfaction as N.D's gem, they need 2 b rewarded by sales and to ps3 owners who havent got it, nor dont want 2 get it, then u dont deserve ur ps3. Sell it and get an xbox
