VGChartz is reporting that ODST sold 2 million copies worldwide in its first day of sales. Double platinum isn't bad for day one. Here is the link to the story. Here is the link to our review. I feel like ODST is setting the tone for game sales of console exclusives as we head into some pretty major releases.
Two million is impressive but it's not the 3 million that Halo 3 did.
Set as favorite

really i think uncharted will do 3 million. seriously its a colt classic now and if people dont pick this game up right away i dont think it will go on to numbers like the first one, 4 to 5 million at most im never playing another halo till its get a graphic over haul and a new engine.

If Uncharted sells 3 million, it will go against a history of PS3 exclusive sales. Aside from Metal Gear Solid 4, they just do that well. But it should sell far more than ODST. Not sure that it will.

@keys
@Louie,
You guys are delusional if you think Uncharted 2 will come anywhere near the sales of ODST! U2 has no chance at all.
Keys the only reason Uncharted sold in the millions is because it was a pack-in & still is to this day with the 120 gig. Uncharted 1 never made the sales top chart in any month, so how in the hell is it going to beat ODST? No Chance!
I said before, when people were hatin on ODST: "ODST will outsell Uncharted 2 & Ratchet & clank combined!" This is why NPD is the #1 source for numbers because pack-ins are not counted.

@Zinc. You really have to read everything people write.
"But it should sell far more than ODST. Not sure that it will."

@Louie,
I feel you (nohomo), my emphasis was on the word "should". Why should Uncharted 2 outsell a game (Halo 3:ODST) that consistently sells millions, when Uncharted 1 never had such success? Also, Halo is more than a cult classic, its played by new players with each iteration by the hundreds of thousands. ICO is more of a cult classic, share by a few tens of thousands of rabid fans scattered throughout the world.
Uncharted 2 should have decent sales because it has no competition for the month of October. With Bioshock 2, Splinter Cell:Conviction, Mass Effect 2 & others out of the 2009 holiday race, Uncharted 2 has a chance to sell 5 or 600,000 units. Anything over that is an enormous bonus & anything under that is a disappointment.
All this of course imo.

@Zinc. Uncharted SHOULD sell more because I'm confident it will be much better and complete game. And it SHOULD sell more because it's the biggest exclusive on the PS3 since MGS4.
But it WON'T because PS3 gamers have not historically purchased games at that level.
