Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection ‘has the power to be a system seller’, says Sony

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection has the potential to be one of PS4’s major system-sellers in the UK this Christmas, Sony has said, telling MCV that it has “strong expectations” for the game’s success.

Speaking in the latest issue of the magazine, PlayStation UK product manager Joe Palmer stated that the game “certainly has the power to be a system seller this Christmas. It offers fantastic value as a gifting proposition, giving newcomers the chance to pick up a PlayStation 4 with three great games at a very competitive price.”

And there are plenty of people out there who have never played an Uncharted title before, Palmer says.

“PlayStation’s audience base has also changed significantly since the original Uncharted games were released, so there’s a huge number of gamers looking to buy a PS4 who may never have played these games before,” he continued.

“We aim to appeal to several audiences; the fans who want to play through the series again in all its remastered glory; the action-adventure fans who are new to PlayStation; previous-generation players who are considering an upgrade to PS4.”

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection includes the single-player campaigns of all three PS3 Uncharted titles enhanced in 1080p/60fps, and grants access to this December’s Uncharted 4 multiplayer beta.

It was the response to last year’s The Last of Us Remastered, however, that “really showed that there is an appetite for these titles on the new consoles,” Palmer says.

“The Nathan Drake Collection is an even better value proposition, comprising as it does three highly rated titles on one disk,” he continued. “We have strong expectations for the success of this title. This is genuinely something that players want in anticipation of the launch of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End in March 2016.”

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection launches on PS4 tomorrow, October 9.
