It was only ten days ago that we heard a whispering from Naughty Dog that Uncharted 2: Among Theives had surpassed 2.5 million sales, trumping the performance of its first PlayStaiton 3 game, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. However, the word now in from Sony Computer Entertainment America is that the game has done much better than we had originally thought.
According to Scott Rohde, VP for Product Development at SCEA, Uncharted 2 has now surpassed 3.5 million copies worldwide. That’s certainly impressive and shows that Naughty Dog’s high-quality game has really pervaded the masses. It also makes Uncharted 2 the PS3′s fastest selling first-party title. Rohde writes on the US PlayStation Blog:
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves has also garnered more than 150 other industry awards, has over 1.5 million online users worldwide, and has surpassed 3.5 million copies sold worldwide – the fastest selling first-party title for PlayStation. Not to mention, it’s established a new standard for games developed on the PS3 platform.
Good going Dawgs! A make.believe video of Naughty Dog’s co-president Christophe Balestra has also been posted, which you can enjoy below.
Well deserved.
Good to see at least one exclusive selling well!
ND must be so proud right now, winning so many awards and their game selling really good. Well deserved.

2 million people don’t play Uncharted 2 online. What is wrong with these people?
@zach, only one PS3 exclusive?? What about MGS4, Gran Turismo Prologue, Resistance, LBP, Motorstorm, Uncharted 1, Killzone 2. All have sold more than 2 million worldwide.
I really do need to pick this game up
This game is worth the $60. Congrats to Naughty Dog! Can’t wait for the next game (but you guys deserve a break).

I don’t know for sure the actual number but the last time I went on a couple of days ago, it said about 800,000 daily players for that day. It updates daily.
Amazing numbers to an amazing game.
I expect Uncharted 2 over time to sale 5M.
Maybe in a week to two it will be at 4M.
That is good news to hear that the new Uncharted 2 game sold so well. 3.5 million copies of a game sold is a lot for any game, so this is good for Sony that their exclusive title did so well.
