Early in October, Arne Meyer, Senior Manager of Marketing Communications at Naughty Dog, stated in an interview with Edge Online that Naughty Dog wished to outsell the first Uncharted with Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
At the time Naughty Dog revealed that Uncharted: Drakes Fortune had sold about 2.5 Million copies worldwide since it's release in November 2007. Well, Naughty Dog has achieved it's sales target, selling just over 2.5 Million copies in just 2 months (yes we are aware that VGChartz is not entirely reliable, but what else do we have?), rather than 2 years like the previous game.
It's great to see such a fantastic game doing well, in both recognition among the games industry and among the gamers themselves. Let's hope it continues to sell so that we can get another Uncharted game as soon as possible! |
