Uncharted 3 vs Gears of War 3

Uncharted 3 399 69.51%
 
Gears of War 3 172 29.97%
 
Total:571

Stop with the necro-bumpings;

 

that being said, kudos to Uncharted 3. I never thought it would sold better than GeoW3 (and actually, I never thought GeoW3 would be the least-selling entry on the main trilogy)



Around the Network

The gap would have been greater if Uncharted wasnt a PS+ game for the whole year.



I see what you're doing here. If I make a prediction that isn't that unreasonable right now maybe 3 years from now I'll get it right also!!!!!

Perfect example of a VGC Poll.

Uncharted winning... and yet not one of those PS3 fans that voted for it have posted... why?  

OT

Gears 3 will outsell U3 by at least one million lifetime, possibly even more.

 



I am the Playstation Avenger.

   

wheres the other thread? It was almost the same as this but it actually had people post in it.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

Around the Network

Congratulations on the mass bundling Uncharted!

... Gears of War is still a significantly bigger franchise and it wouldn't surprise me if it was hugely undertracked and sold enough digitally to still be a good deal ahead of UC.



I think Uncharted 4 will destroy Uncharted 3 and gear of war 3 sale



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

The usual suspects downplaying Uncharted. Good prediction OP ;)

It wouldn't be hugely surprising. When you align their sales Uncharted has seen some pretty big growth with each release.

I'm pretty confident Gears of War 3 will outsell Uncharted 3 overall. Gears 1 and 2 suffered from being a bit rushed, and Gears 3 gets the longest development and testing time. So it's going to be noticably more polished then the other two, and both the sales of Gears 1 and 2, and strong pre-orders imply that Gears 3 will at least break 6 million lifetime. Uncharted 3 might be the biggest Uncharted in the franchise, but Uncharted 2 is still 1.7 million sales behind Gears, and it's going to be competing for attention with Resistance as well. So Uncharted 3 might break 5 million sales, but I really doubt it will pass Gears.

As for Week 1 sales, no PS3 exclusives have yet to record massive week 1 sales. Uncharted 2 only did 850k week 1, and Uncharted 1 did a measly 133k. Gears of War 2 did close to 2 million week 1, and Gears 1 did 910k. So even the debut title in 2006 had more sales (lifetime, and week 1) then Uncharted 2, arguably the best rated PS3 exclusive (alongside MGS4).

Personally I think Gears 3 has a shot for 7 million, 8 if CoD really drops the ball this year (Sledgehammer is developing, not Treyarch, or Infinity Ward and Activision has states they expect less volume). Uncharted 3 also has a shot for 5 million IMO, and it might crawl to 6 million if CoD drops the ball.

P.S. Judging from the relativly balanced votes for both games, and the inflated PS3 favoring audience on VGC, I think most people realize Gears will be bigger. I say inflated PS3 favoring audience based off the Most Wanted section when multiplatform games on PS3 get as much as 10x the votes of equivalent 360 titles or more.
