The PS3 is lucky when it gets even half the Wii's sales in Japan, so if you want to pretend it's "killing everything" you're lying to someone, and probably just yourself. Most months, it is outsold by the Wii by a ratio of nearly 4:1, which is a larger margin than the PS3 outsells the 360.

Also, Uncharted has been out for 9 months, so it doesn't qualify for "failure," We're talking CoD 3, not 4, and HS has been out longer.

Now, you can say "But I said 6 months to a YEAR," But that doesn't mesh with more recent or concurrent games being released. By release date alone, your claims fail. If there's a time restriction, it applies to neither HS not UDF, as there are games on the list which came out at the same time or later. Sales shouldn't be a factor for Uncharted, to say the least.

Wikipedia claims it's 11 months and 500,000 copies for the PS3, but seeing as how several of the titles defy that, I'd say it's bullshit. If I were to bet where you got your info, though, I'd now have a pretty strong foundation for it....
!. I should've said killing everything 360 there. My bad.
2. Those WERE based on month-by-month sales figures from NPD. They are usually pretty accurate.
3. It wasn't Wiki that I got that from. it was someone on the N4G forums that brought that one up (yeah, big difference in source cred, I know, but at least it wasn't Wiki, right ). And I wasn't sure about the exact time frame the would require. It could be exactly a year or just 6 months or somewhere in between. Uncharted definitely wouldn't fail sale-wise, but it may not be in that time window yet (I guess).
