Well, we could say the same thing about the God of War series. They have comparable sales.


Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Uncharted 3 was bundle since the game was released? I don't remember God of War 3 being bundled at all.

Never knew one existed.

I wasn't sure either but I guess it does exist. But bundle or not, sales between Uncharted and God of War remain in the same area.

To expand on my point. Both UC and GOW are great selling franchises but I don't think they can drive hardware sales on their own. In my opinion, Sony's strength lies in the fact that they have many on those franchises spanning many genres. It's the combinaison of all these franchises that ultimately make PlayStation an appealing console to various type of gamers. The drawback of this, is that some gamers will wait until 3-4 of those titles appear on the console to buy it.

As much as I hate to admit it, Gran Turismo is the only Sony franchise with a selling power strong enough to drive incredible launch sales (God knows why!) but the odds of having GT6 as a launch title are close to none. One of the main selling points of the franchise is the pretty cars and rendering all those vehicules on new hardware and making the graphical jump significant enough to generate excitement for the title takes a long long time.



Signature goes here!
