Sony: Uncharted Series has Sold 13 Million so Far

Nathan Drake and co. have helped Naughty Dog’s Uncharted series to sell in excess of 13 million copies, according to the title’s Marketing Manager, Sony’s Asad Quizilbash.

The news comes form an interview with IndustryGamers (as reported by VG247), where Quizilbash spoke about the marketing strategy for Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, which sold 3.8 million in its first week on sale, doubling its predecessor, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.

“As we reported, day one we shipped over 3.8 Million copies of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. Week one sales were double that of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, far exceeding our expectations,” He told IG.

When questioned further on the sales of the series as a whole, Quizilbash came straight out gave the magic number. “[We’ve] sold over 13 Million units globally.” Pretty impressive, considering Uncharted is a platform exclusive.

Despite the success of the series, the marketing manager was reluctant to give any information away about another Uncharted title in the future. “We can’t talk about any future title releases. We will continue to make games that our consumers love experiencing.” he stated. Take from that what you will.

Of course, Uncharted 3 isn’t the final fix for those who have not had enough Drake in their lives, as Uncharted: Golden Abyss will be releasing for the PS Vita upon its EU release in February 2012. We previewed it last week, and liked what we saw.

Do you think there should be another Uncharted title in the series? Perhaps for the PlayStation 4? Personally, I think it should go as long as the James Bond franchise, as long as Naughty Dog can keep the title fresh and as fantastic as the first three in the series. Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Thanks, IndustryGamers.
