Fifa 10 holds off Uncharted 2's UK launch day sales

GZ: "Fifa 10 holds off an Uncharted 2 onslaught.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves fails to top the UK All Formats Chart this week, with Fifa mania holding off the PlayStation 3 exclusive.

There's a number of reasons for this. The game only launched in the UK on Friday, so only had one day to chart (this weeks charts ended on 17th October) and unlike Fifa 10, the game has only been released on one platform.

We should get a better idea of Uncharted 2's sales in next week's charts, when the game has enjoyed its launch weekend and a full week of sales."

Full chart after the link.

kevinx10005305d ago

what's so funny? forgot it outsold killzone (and UC2) within 24 hours?

kingdavid5305d ago

No offense but it probably also had one of the largest return ratios as well..

techie5305d ago

One day (a weekday) on one platform. Surprised it's that high.

N4G king5305d ago

well no wonder
1- fifa is big in EU
2- its a multiplat

gaffyh5305d ago

Football > Everything in UK. Still, great sales by Uncharted 2 to make 2nd spot with one day of sales.

sunil5304d ago

It went on sale Friday Oct 16 and guess when the week ends.

Stupid story really. Compare at least the first week of sales what's the point comparing apples to oranges?

techie5305d ago

Stupid story? It's just this week's Gfk Charttrack results. And did you read the text? Obviously not.

prabx5305d ago

FIFA10 was on sale for £25.00 at most retailers!

techie5305d ago

"This shows itself in the fact that Uncharted 2 is the top seller for individual formats, beating out Fifa 10 on both Xbox 360 and PS3. The game's prequel, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, only managed to reach number 22 in the UK All Formats charts in 2007, showing the extent of the sequel's success."

Uncharted 2 didn't have a full week, just one day. And Fifa 10 is on 6 platforms.

But I think next week Uncharted 2 will be number 1.

The Meerkat5305d ago

Forza 3 is out next friday in the EU.
It could be close in UK.

BO WALEED5305d ago

if I see them both in front on me, I will go for FIFA and leave UNCHARTED later .. anyway I got them both now so I don't care!

but UK people??! wow they loved LEGO Indiana Jones so much .. so I expect anything in UK !

Currently playing Drakes Fortune on crushing, next will be to replay Among Thieves, but I'm sure it still holds up today.

P_Bomb1456d ago (Edited 1456d ago )

Recently re-platinumed 1-3. Uncharted 2 aged better than I even expected. I enjoyed it more now than I did a decade ago. It’s more polished than 1, tighter than 3 and Yemen in 3 was gorgeous. Shambhala out-prettied Ubar though. 60fps w higher res’ made for a damn good rerun.

Abnor_Mal1455d ago

Question: When you say Uncharted2 aged better than expected, are you talking about the original PS3 game or the remastered collection on PS4. I ask because I think that a remastered version of the game would look and play better than the original.

I doubt that the original ran at 60 frames, how many years old is the remastered collection anyway.

I need to replay the original trilogy along with the collection, not a fan of the collection trophy of beating levels in a set time and don't think the originals required that for platinum.

P_Bomb1455d ago (Edited 1455d ago )

@abnor_mal
It’s true that the remasters have upped the resolution and given it 60fps, but the base game is the same. The art design and base textures/physics/ animations are the same yet still look contemporary. More-so than UC1 which isn’t as tight, or UC3 in some cases which I found a bit clunky in close quarters.

UC2 level design was a great evolution in bringing the verticality from the jungle into rural/urban settings while maintaining smooth animation transitions. Drake still moves better than the ginger in Star Wars Jedi. Outdoor areas are better lit.

UC2 also has more action and better pacing imo, which helps when replaying a game 10 years later. Kept me engaged.

You don’t need to time trial for platinum. They stuck the speedrun trophies in a seperate extended dlc category so have no fear.

MadLad1456d ago

I thought the originals were good, but not great. I understand that puts me in the minority here. That said, Uncharted 4 was freaking fantastic.

Profchaos1456d ago (Edited 1456d ago )

Yeah I understand the hate for 4 prior to playing it I was firmly against it and felt like 3 wrapped things up already but now after playing it I think it was the best in the franchise.

Now I look back at two and I feel like I'm playing an on the rails shooter everything is so tightly scripted including the infamous train scene you simply can't make a mistake

Rimeskeem1456d ago

I think Uncharted 2 is a lot like AC2. Both games took the idea and basically improved it in every single way.

Movefasta19931455d ago

Uc2, AC2,Halo2, Soul calibur 2, Killzone 2, Infamous 2 , Dishonored 2 and a few more. The only negative thing I have against uc2, and imo it annoyed me,are the blue apes, uncharted 1 handled the super natural far better.
