Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has announced that Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception day-one global sales reached 3.8 million units.
The PlayStation3 exclusive title – released to universal critical acclaim – has smashed sales expectations to become one of the best-selling titles of 2011, putting the third instalment on a clear course to be the biggest selling game in the trilogy.
“Uncharted 3 is a blockbuster and these incredible sales figures reflect that. Consumers are clearly as eager to play the game as critics were to heap praise upon it, and the team at Naughty Dog deserve this fantastic reception at retail,” said Nick Caplin Head of Communications at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.
“The Uncharted series, exclusive to PlayStation 3, has redefined the third-person adventure genre and is now one of the leading franchises available.”
