Uncharted 3 all the way for me. I gave up on MW after MW2. BF3 actually looks pretty good, but no way is it a buy for me. Uncharted 3 day 1.

As for U3's sales, it does worry me. It's definitely a jam packed end of the year. I certainly hope U3 blows people away with its sales. Sony will hopefully market it like crazy. One perfect place to market it is in movies produced by Sony Picutures (Columbia, etc.). I don't understand why Sony doesn't do this more often. It shouldn't cost them anything, right? Microsoft does it for Halo and they don't even own a production company. Why Sony, why?

That is a pretty good marketing idea indeed. Saw that mad world song trailer of Gears of War 1 before movies quite a bit. No worries about Uncharted 3 though. The kind of stuff Naughty Dog pulled 2 years ago with UC2 was such epicness. I've been waiting for this game since i beat the last one :D. I was going to say something smart and constructive but i forgot. In simple words i am just so exited for this game and it is going to hold strong among other games in one of the biggest November's in the recent history if not ever. 


Agreed man. I absolutely can't wait. I hope it sells boatloads, too. Truly deserves it.

First: Uncharted is bigger than Battlefield.

Second: Call of Duty and Uncharted have different target audiences.


But what about the 100 million advert campaign. That should surely have some effect. But if you look at it in the way your talking about Uncharted is bigger than Battlefield

Without Bundles and Greatest Hits, would U2 even have outsold AC2 on PS3?

 

Hmmmmmmmm

Battlefield... lolwut?

I have to get MW3 on release day.  BF3 Im not convinced with but will most likely get it on day 1 to be competetive on the multiplayer.

Unfortunatly that makes purchasing U3 extrelmly unlikely.

I want U3 bad I just cant afford brand new released games anymore, specially when there are tons of good exclusives coming out :P

Same actually, I just don't have the money or the time at the moment to be pre-ordering games. Unless it's a game I'm dying to play I leave it a few months until the price drops and I have time to play it.

Uncharted 3 will be a pre-order though =D!
