Where the hell is Uncharted 2? That game fell off the charts quickly.

Uncharted 2 had a smaller, limited base to draw from, unlike ODST or
CoD: MW2 or any of the Wii games.

It went from #1 in October to completely out of the top 20 in
November. Everyone who wanted it bought it at launch.

The smaller user base shouldn't actually matter. Here's why:

So far this year the PS3 has sold 2.9 million machines in the U.S.
This compares to 3.4 million 360s. While this is a smaller user base,
and it's reflected in sales of, say Modern Warfare 2, Uncharted 2 sold
500,000 copies at launch.

In other words, 2.4 million people who bought a PS3 this year passed
on the launch of Uncharted 2. You'd think that they would want a hot
new game, but apparently not. The low sales aren't a result of a
smaller user base, but massive disinterest within that user base.

I usually buy my games at lunch. Avoids the crowd later.
