Without bundle for Unchated 2, FM3 should outsell it.

But if Sony make Unchated 2 bundles then it could outsell Forza 3.

Both Forza 3 and Uncharted 2 are officially bundled with a 250 GB system. Doubtful, these are contributing much to the overall sales though.

Just checked Amazon France and Germany and it looks like both bundles are EU wide.

Wow amazing week for 360 12:5... thats more than double... :)

It's actually 6 to the both of you that made the same mistake.

Pretty steady sales this week.



Didn't think FORZA 3 would have these kind of legs.

I was disappointed with its launch sales, but it keeps selling a good amount each week.

Hopefully more people pick this up cuz it's a great game!!

At this rate Forza 3 will outsell Uncharted 2 by the end of December or so. It's already higher in the UK. Who would've guessed three months ago.


Ummm most rational people?

Forza 2 worldwide LTD sales: 4.07 million vs. Uncharted DF worldwide LTD sales: 2.78 million. It would be a brave person who would make the claim that UC2 would stay ahead of FM3.

UC2 could well see a better growth in sales over UC1 compared to FM3 over FM2. But in total sales FM3 should be well ahead.

Perhaps after the respective opening weeks, if people had considered these 2 unrelated games' respective sales through December a good number might have predicted UC2 would stay ahead of FM3 to the end of December. But I think everyone who knows past FM sales would have said that FM games have good legs and a 300K difference in opening week is not that much to make up for a major 360 franchise.


Everybody kept talking about how heavily bundled FM2 was to reach that total so it wasn't the white wash result you and others are making out.  Also I cannot think of a bigger title other than MW2 releasing this xmas for the PS3, it had far less competition to take away sales, it was bundled (so was Forza 3), it was also heavily marketed being the main exclusive this year for the PS3. 

With hindsight having seen the opening weeks then yes perhaps it wasn't such a bold prediction but before either game hit the shelves you would have been a brave man to predict it on here.  I personally expected Uncharted 2 to cruise away from FM3 in the first few months then be passed in the long term.  I guess FM3 did better in the opening weeks than I expected it could. still surprised it has the legs it does now.



IMHO Forza 3 will hit 2.3m at the end of 2009 and 4m at the end of 2010 with standard bundling, not the one Forza 2 had.
