I don't think your doing any different either. Many people are mistaking me or just too lazy to read my whole post. Forza sells less than 200k in its first month in the U.S.A. and sells over 4 million just two years later? And I'm always keen on reading Bestbuy, Futureshop, EB games (Gamestop) flyers and I had seen so many Forza bundles (2, 3 and now 4 as well) getting bundled massivly. Agreed Fable 2 and Fable 3 did start out pretty decently but soon became massively bundled with other hit after the holidays with other games for free (More so Fable 3). Halo and Gears of War were also bundled massivly but even without bundles they still sell great due to their huge fanbase and online community. Don't get me wrong but many PS3 games are also heavily bundled such as LBP, Resistance Fall of Man, Uncharted DF but eneograge or whatever his name is was wrong to just pinpoint "Uncharted 3" only sells with bundles and is one of the most hevaily bundled games" (he does hate on PS3 just look at his eariler posts) is clearly BS and that too right after it sells over 700k in the U.S.A. in it's first month and Sony stating "it doubled Uncharted 2's week one sales in its first week". My point is sure Uncharted 3 is bundled but what big exclusive game that came out this holiday season or probably in the last couple of years isn't? That's why games like Gears of War, Uncharted, Halo, e.t.c. are called system sellers. PS3 just had its biggest November in the U.S.A. and one of those reasons could be Uncharted 3. Can't it? |
i believe fable 2 got a bundle in may 2009 and it was released october 2008. after 10 weeks it sold almost 2 million without bundles. whoever says this game series isn't selling good lives on another planet... it doesn't sell like halo or so but for this kind of game sales are very good.
and why isn't uncharted one of the most heavily bundled games? this game was bundled few weeks after release no clue what this means but for me this means it is a hugely bundled game. if i would buy a ps3 it's almost clear i would buy this bundle. it is a good game and i get it for free. hell we even had the uncharted+headset bundle from day one (at least here in germany).
no clue how someone can say it isn't one of the most bundled games. and why do you say in your first post it doesn't sell so much as bundle like other games but stand alone it sells very good and in the next you say it's a system seller many buy a ps3 for this game? so you think it's a system seller but these people don't buy the bundle they only buy a ps3 and a stand alone uncharted or what? ok i understand, uncharted sells consoles but the console bundle doesn't sell good because this would mean uncharted without bundle doesn't sell so good. yeah, nice try...
don't get me wrong i don't say uncharted doesn't sell without bundles but it sells much more because of these bundles and releasing a bundle few weeks after release in holiday season should be a sign for everyone that this will increase the sales a lot.
and talking about forza 4, yes the sales aren't very high but it is still only a racing game and for that sales aren't so bad. you can't compare it with gt because gt has the status to sell good even if it would be crap (which isn't the case). gt is a exception in the racing genre if it comes to sales.
