ok so since we are trying to get some perspective here of the UC3 situation...we should also remember the competition UC3 had to go against compared to UC2. UC3 had to compete with the likes of Battlefield, MW3 and SKyrim all games which sold amazingly well and few actually broke records. and these numbers afaik do not include the bundles as well.

it's up to the individual to judge if these numbers are impressive or not but looks very impressive to me, considering 'all' factors not just some


UC3 came out well before all of these. By a few weeks even


umm yeah but we aren't comparing just those few weeks now are we? the point is the moment such huge names in gaming start dropping weekly, it will affect the weekly sales a lot, especially over the BF (which gives the biggest boost for sw) people will be devided with the options available to them. skyrim is said to be almost close to oblivion totals already, MW3 is..well MW3, the biggest launch for a game ever iirc. so the competition has been much tougher when it comes to sales for UC3. and again I do not believe these include the bundle sales which should have sold rather well as well


All of those big games did not stop each other from selling. Skyrim broke records. Arkham City broke records. CoD broke records. Even Zelda broke records, and Mario, and Just Dance.

 

UC3? Nothing. The series is fatigued. This is what happens when you release 3 similar games in the span of 5 years without some kind of mass appeal. Honestly, if the MP in UC3 was there from day one, I have no doubt it would be selling more and more.
