The Uncharted series is inflated with mass bundling. Virtually every release.

Anywho, I'm thinking Gears 4 will do 5 - 6 million. 

Thankfully this was addressed. Uncharted ain't unique here.  

 

Anyway it's a 3.64m now selling 65k on the latest chart.  By the time it's in September U4 Will be around 4m retail.  I can see it being around 5.5m come January.  Add digital and it's around 6.5m. 

 

That's only about 8 months of sales.  With the usual uncharted legs you can see how this can sell 10m and most definitely will sell 9m+. 

 

Uncharted 4 is a beast in the making. Definitely a bigger series than gears now. 

 

The story DLC and Neo mode should be taken into consideration as well, not to mention a complete or game of the year edition

Especially when you consider Sony is most likely going to make it one of the big pushes for the Neo. Wouldn't be surprised if it came bundled with it.

Uncharted 4 is the biggest in the series. But where does it go from here? If the next Uncharted is just some side story I wouldnt expect similar numbers.

The legs on its own wont be huge. It depends on other circumstances in my opinion.

Gears has a trilogy planned. We will probably see Gears 4, 5 and 6 before an Uncharted 5.

They can milk gears all they want but none of them will do uncharted 4 numbers.  

 

Where does uncharted go from here?  It doesn't need to go anywhere.  They will make the last of us 2 then hopefully a new IP.  

 

They can always make an uncharted 5 next gen on the PS5.

Gears ability to achieve Uncharted 4 is partially due to the userbase. For example, numerous games on PS4 have done numbers at par or better than Uncharted 4.

You said Uncharted is now bigger than Gears, but whats next? The future right now is uncertain and the next release could be far away. I can look forward to numerous Gears titles though. I have mixed feelings about a new Last of Us, the first one felt like it had the perfect ending. But it was popular so I guess they gotta "milk" it.

Between PC and X1, who knows. Gears 4 can be pretty big.

I could be wrong, sales are a prediction and i predict it will sell roughly the same or maybe alittle bit more.

But it is funny to see those 10m and 11m predictions.  

Well, yes, you will be wrong. You are wrong very, very often. And obviously, you will be wrong about this too. Remember this is a sales website, so knowing a thing or two about how something sells is much more beneficial than pulling shit out of your ass

Have i been wrong before have i? Haha sounds like your taking this way to seriously. 

Im looking at the facts here. Uncharted (main) games average 6million lifetime sales. GeOW (main) games average 6million life time sales.

I think im predicting a realistic opinion here. Funny because if you say im wrong all the time than what about everyone saying this game will sell 10m+? Haha the game is barely going to make 6m unless Sony give it away in a cheap bundle or add some crazy DLC and market the hell out of it just to get 6m to 7m.

Anyway will wait and see but i can safety say it wont hit Halo 3 numbers.

That's all irrelevant.  Uncharted is a much bigger ip now and uncharted 4 will sell right throughout the gen.  

 

The last thing i want is another 2 uncharteds milked out this gen.  Naughty Gods should keep it fresh.  

 

Gears can pump out a few more but it will not match uncharted 4 or even an uncharted 5 if it ever happens.  

Quality > Quantity.

Well obviously quality isnt a debate. The much more active online community shows Gears is the higher quality series.

Seriously now, this discussion is getting dumb. Obviously usebase is a big factor on sales.

Uncharted hasnt felt fresh since 2008 by the way.
