Uncharted 2 or GOW3, Which game will outsell the other?

Posted by Bawaleez On August - 3 - 2009

 

No one can urge the fact that Uncharted 2: among thieves and GOW3 are undoubtedly among the most anticipated PS3 exclusive games at this generation of consoles. GOW known as the game that pushed the PS2 capabilities and produced a remarkable unique experience like no other at that time, while Uncharted is counted as one of the greatest PS3 hits with its highly detailed varied environment and astonishing graphics even when we compare the original game with some of the latest hits.

GOW3 starring the legendary Kratos waiting to stretch his muscles on the current generation of consoles for the first time after he was getting bored from his previous PS2 limitations. Where he couldn’t ride on monsters forcing them to hit their alliance, Kratos the one we saw throughout the current year trailers and leaked videos is much more powerful & stronger than ever, however is he strong enough to break some of the PS3 sales records? Personally I doubt it, not because the game wont be that great, on the contrary I’m sure that it will be something extraordinary, but I have my reasons which we’ll talk about later on in this article.

Uncharted 2: among thieves starring Nathan Drake one of the current generation most popular characters studied at Lara croft’s school and he even managed to overcome his master, even though his butt is not as sexy. Drake is more human like than Kratos, even though he managed to crack his way down to the fortune on the original game by his acrobatic and highly interactive moves. Uncharted 2: among thieves Drake is facing a new challenge dealing with thief’s in a totally different and complicated environment. The original uncharted did well on the market just like what it did in reviews eventhough it lacked in any multiplayer support & to have such a remarkable sales record without having any online support in your game well enough said the game must be off the chart, and we all know  that the sequel will have an organized online gaming feature, so I personally can’t find any reason why uncharted 2: among thieves wont make it again and crash its prequel sales record.

Kratos undoubtedly has the upper hand if we compare the two hero’s, But Drake has already left his footprint on the current generation of consoles. So I guess its hard to judge who will really be the winner between them, but if you ask me I suggest that Drake has slightly a better opportunity not because uncharted is better than GOW,  Its just that I think Uncharted has a better release date than GOW. Also Uncharted 2 will reach out to a wider market than GOW due to the fact that ESRB will most likely decided to make GOW  17 +. Last but not least Uncharted will have an amazing online gaming experience – based on gamers who experienced the beta version – adding a higher value and longevity to the game’s lifespan making it somehow a better investment for the gamers money.

    Both of those games have their own fanbase, you can’t really pin down which will sell more than the other because quite frankly, if you’re a PS3 owner and you don’t actually buy the two of them, then you’re probably better off without a PS3 in the first place.

    But hey, I definitely think God of War III would get more sales than Uncharted 2 because it’s simple more “known” than the later.

    @mohammad Kamal

    After we experienced how Resistance 2 outsold KZ2, I think everything is possible !

    I’m not saying that Resistance 2 is bad game, but come on KZ2 had everything to be a true hit but it didn’t perform well in the markets !

    So I really wonder if any of those games can manages to do what KZ2 failed of ??

    wow let me tell you this God of war will be one of the biggest sellers in Sony history this will make a ton of people buy a ps3 (system seller) and the reason killzone 2 didn’t get good sales is beacsue it sucks if it was more like call od duty and the aiming lag wasn’t gay then yes it would be an awesome game the lag is the only reason i sold that game. And yes uncharted 2 will sell a ton of copies but it’s really only known by ps3 owners so people who have never played it they might pick it up cuz it looks amazing and is a brilliantly looking game. it’s just God of war is known by so many more people like i said people that ps2’s and changed to xbox 360 will be so tempted to get a ps3 JUST FOR THIS GAME!!!

    Maybe there can be an online part to GOW3. Think about it, for ex: a soul caliber style battle of the many many gods of olympus maybe even of viking mythos aswell w/future dlc for deities all of which to unlock features in normal gameplay, trophies and ofcourse gamer rankings as to who is the (new) god of war.

    Besides, its been sooo long, years of wait and, all parties involved including fans need to milk this one out!

    drake is such a damn pussy. he uses GUNS which makes him not a bit cool. look he doesnt even have his/her own signature weapon. kratos this time will beat the guts out of drake so why compare them both. ey im not a drake hater, im a big kratos fan. i mean who can do all what he has done? (im impressed by the mind bending puzzles he finished and all the head ripping/ god slaying)

    How has Resistance 2 outsold Killzone 2? R2 released last year has 1.56 million sales approx. where as Killzone 2 released this February has 1.76 million sales.

    As for GOW3 or Uncharted 2, I really think GOW3 will not only match Uncharted 2 in its sales but surpass it by a large margin. Though both franchises have been established very well, and God of War having the upper hand, however, simply because the experience GOW3 has to offer is epic in its scale as opposed to Uncharted 2 offering something refreshing and simply awesome. Nevertheless, age group will be a factor yet, i still firmly believe GOW3 will end up selling 700-800,000 copies in its first day or two whereas Uncharted 2 is gonna be 400-600,000 range.
