Its worth noting that Sony has bundled Uncharted 3 this holiday "Forza Motorsport" style.

However MS likes to see their exclusive sell on its own for the holidays and then bundles it later. Sony it seems, bundled their biggest game of the year from day 1.

While many like to say its just Sony being good to its consumers with a great bundle, it seems that Sony is trying to inflate the sales of the series off the bat, not confident in its ability to sell well on its own out the gate. AAA games are meant to be system sellers without being bundled.....right away......hence the term system seller.

A great milestone, not impressive compared to Halo or anything, but Sony has the beginnings of having one mascot based exclusive that actually delivers on 5 million sales per game. Too many Sony Ips are doomed to a 1-2 million lifetime sales performance.

lol

The man is dedicated to his job, huh?

no it makes perfect sense.

the gears of war bundle doesnt count because it didnt release in the Christmas season, so they clear werent relying on them to sell consoles.

but sony showed weakness by bundling Uncharted at the peak of the shopping season, artificially increasing its sales numbers.

the killzone bundle (though not mentioned) also counts because it released in feburuary, the shortest month of the year, which happen to be closer to Christmas (Dec 25th) than September is, so the still couldnt sell an edequate amount without bundles. and with febuary being so short, they should have been able to sell more copies per week (see: less weeks in the month).

and the gears bundle came with a controller, ensuring that it doesnt count as a bundle to increase sales. the PS3 only came with one controller, that nearly 50% less stuff. which means the gears bundle was hardly a bundle, but more of a sale of a console and an experience that needs no help padding its sales.

its really sad seeing sony resort to these tactics, then "shipping" the game instead of actually selling it.

dont be rediculous.

 

did i do this right?
