Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune has hit a milestone in sales as VG Chartz is reporting that the game has sold one million copies worldwide. This is great news for the PlayStation industry as it shows developers that the PlayStation 3 has the installed user base in order to put up quick and impressive numbers for exclusive content.

Anyone who has played this monster title will tell you that it’s an incredible experience and worthy of more than one play-through. Naughty Dog has released a lot of great material for PS fans worldwide and this one did not disappoint at all. For those of you that missed our review of Uncharted, you can check it out here.

When it comes down to sales, Uncharted is definitely the wrong word for it, as gamers have definitely charted through this experience at a rising rate.

    What's even better is that a brand new franchise was able to break the 1 million mark before a well established franchise (I'm looking at you Ratchet & Clank).

     

    With this news it goes without saying that Sony will eat this up and make certain that a sequel is made. I just hope they don't get antsy and force Naughty Dog to release another one in like the next 6 months. I'd rather this game went away for like a year or more and come back looking and playing better.

    Tofu, I'm sometimes on the fence about trusting VG, however, I felt in this case, they're probably not too far off considering how well this title has done.

    Well, i dont no how could this game be sold 1 million copies. The game is pointless and its 6 hours. I got the game it was sunday and i ate my dinner and it was done. looked at my saves it says TIME PLAYED 6 hours. How can a powerfull console on the earth Ps3 has a game 6 hours long? ps1 games were longer then this.

    You appear to be the greatest gamer of all time, please allow me to bow to you.

    Now onto relativent information, great game, longer then 6 hours.  According to my saved file it took me 10 hours on easy.  Glad to see the game can now be sold as a greatest hits copy.

    This game is definitely deserving of selling 1 million copies. Every PS3 owner should own 1.

    I trust these numbers. It's a shame it hasn't done better though. This game deserves Multiplatinum status.

    xBSGeorge, stupid people like you play with no understanding and thats why the game goes up to 10 hours. These companies wouldn't live if there woudn't be stupid people like you to waste thier money for this game.

    @SyphonFilter
    you seem like a person that just wants to play through a game and be@t it, and then say you accomplished something. how come people don't take their time, take advantage of what developers have put in the game. you shouldn't play a game just to be@t it, but acknowledge all the details that they put in there.

    i liked the story line, but what else i like most about this game was the detail in the water like ripples are amazing. deserves the popularity because i can tell developers took their time on this title.

    I think the starting slow sales was due to the much lesser presence of the PS brand in the US,if it would have been a worldwide release,then these figures would surely have arrived a lot quicker(duh!).@TofuOnoPhD

    No,actually we don't,because mostly they pull figures out of their hinds.

    great game but only a little replayability although i sony were to omplement score systems and achievemnt liek xbox finding the relics would be a lot more worthwhile ive completed on middle and hard so i trading this in to get call of duty 4 still a great game though

    The thing with vgchartz is that their top 20 software Japanese charts differ from media create's who are based in Japan gathering data sales. I think vgchartz don't have the proper numbers and some of it is guess work.

     

    Syphonfilr you chat sh1t. put a infnate health cheat on, play on easy and with non stop running, then you finish it in 6hrs. You can complete syphon filter in 3hrs or am I making that up? The play time on these games are way off, when I see a completion time under 10 hrs I know I've played it longer than that. I remember seeing the save time on FFX and it said 40 hrs when I had been playing alot of it for 2 weeks.

    I loved this game. I beat it many times, but I'm not going to trade it in. Yes,it took ME more than 6 hours (not stupid either) so it's worth the money.

    Syphon Filter,

    I love people like you who have to resort to insulting others.  Especially after I called you the greatest gamer ever.  Sorry for giving you a compliment.  However there are a lot more "stupid people" as you so lovely put it, then expert players like yourself who just beat a game to beat a game.  I liked to explore what I could, I liked looking for hidden items.  I enjoyed making mistakes and learning from them.  I guess I am just not legend enough like yourself to call myself a video gamer.  For those of you other "stupid" people like me, as I said before, lots more fun then 6 hours if your not a super duper awesome gamer dude who is l33t and stuff.

    While thats good, do you think it can achieve more in 08" or will this be the games peak. I hope not.
