Sony and Naughty Dog sound like they are pretty excited about the impressive sell-through numbers of Uncharted 4 for the PS4 thus far.
The company has revealed that worldwide, the game has made it into 2.7 million hands, via disc and digital in its first week of availability. Considering that these are sold to consumer numbers (as of May 19th) and not just shipped to retail that’s a pretty great start for one of the year’s best games (our review here).
Read on for the announcement from Sony.
It?s hard to believe that it?s been nearly two weeks since we officially released Uncharted 4: A Thief?s End on PS4. It?s one of the most beautifully crafted games I?ve ever played, and the great reception we?ve seen from the community has been amazing and humbling. Naughty Dog?s exceptionally talented team has created magic once again, carefully constructing an adrenaline-pumping, thrilling, and beautifully written culmination to Nathan Drake?s adventures. They truly outdid themselves.
Millions of fans around the world have already joined Nathan Drake on his final treasure hunt. In the first week alone, I?m happy to report that Uncharted 4: A Thief?s End exceeded 2.7 million units in global sales*. For the North American region, Uncharted 4 is the fastest-selling PS4 first party title to-date.
A huge congratulations goes out to Naughty Dog for an incredible feat. The success of the game is a testament to the caliber of the team at Naughty Dog and their unwavering commitment to their fans.
Most of all, we wanted to give a special thank you to all of you who joined us so far on this incredible adventure, and have embarked with us on Nathan Drake?s final, wild ride.
