Sony PR Jake Osuwah seems extremely confident in the success of his company’s line. Remember, this is the same guy who claimed Uncharted 2′s multiplayer to be equal to Gears of War 3 (though no gameplay footage has been revealed as of yet). However, it was easy to see through to his intentions (“Uncharted 2 [...]
