  Fail for referencing VGChartz, but will let that slide.
  
  Many games sell lots of copies for different factors: brand name, advertisement, etc. The general mass wouldn't know the premise of Uncharted or Zack & Wiki if you don't tell them. Hell, if I didn't read the previews or fall into the internet hype of Zack & Wiki, I possibly could've dismissed it myself.

  Yeah I never trust vgchartz but its true that UT3 and Uncharted aren't selling that well compared to other games.

  Uncharted has barely sold any at the stores I go to. Figures, though, since it has nearly no advertising...
  
  Halo, Mass Effect and Bioshock, on the other hand, did a good job of plastering their names all over the place, hence good sales.

    Seems regional in that case, in my region I've actually seen the game promoted quite a few times on tv so far.

    Yeah, same here. I see the commercial for it a lot here. It's too bad that no one owns a PS3 here though...

  True enough. In which case, another reason Uncharted hasn't sold as well is because it didn't get hype like other big titles did.

  Well Most likely Advertisements and prices of games these days are the key factors. I mean People only have so much to spend on games, everyone isn't rich or has enough money to buy. People have jobs, bills to pay, school stuff to buy, going to school, gas, buying Groceries. I mean its not hard to wonder why because of these reasons that games don't sell well. I don't even have money at the moment to buy UT3 and Uncharted, thanks to the holidays.
  
  So Game prices and Advertisements are what causes bad sales.

  Prices and ads? I doubt that's it. Does anyone know how dreadful close release dates can be? Let's face it, Drake's Fortune and UTIII came out at bad times. If they had come out in say...the Summer, that could have certainly saved that dry-spell of a season.
  
  I've seen the Uncharted ad many times, but Mass Effect was released on the same day as it if I'm not mistaken, so my money went to that.

    Saved PS3 drought yes. But still you think people have money to get Games these days. Only rich people like Chiro seem to have shit loads of games. And advertisements also causes bad sales. The PS3 it self is a prime example of that. And why they fired the ad agency cause they screwed up and couldn't get the job done.

  Honestly, I don't even remember the game being hyped up at E3 or anything like other titles were. That helps with anticipation, to show off your product at E3 and such. That can lead to where the money goes...hell I'm not rich but I select certain games that I look forward to beforhand, and ones that impressed me over it's months of development.

  The low console sales of the ps3 are to blame.

    Um no, actually. What causes low console sales. And in this case Ad Agency was very horrible for the PS3.

  It's not, The can work out the ratio of Games per PS3 to see. CoD4 and AC are selling well for PS3.
