People seem to forget that uncharted was bundled a few times with new PS3 consoles. And during the holidays at that I believe. Whereas there is no telling if TLoU will be bundled.

I don't think anyone debating has forgotten that, it's just not the only reason the franchise has done as good as it has. The bundles (mainly in Uncharted 2 & 3's cases), were much more holiday items than universal, yearly bundles.
|
And when do consoles tend to sell the most? During the holidays. Therefore the bundles probably boosted the sales of Uncharted games throughout the holiday season. I'm not saying that is the only reason why the franchise has done so well, but it did help the sales boost by a bit probably. Considering how well the PS3 has done the past few holidays.

The first Uncharted has sold over 4m with not much bundling.

I'd argue that the original Uncharted had more bundling than both 2 & 3 (had that 80GB bundle in the States for quite a bit), but yes, much of the sales of all three titles come from indivdual buys.

Uncharted 3 is still being bundled. Therefore that argument is crushed. Secondly, Uncharted 2 had a big holiday 2009 bundle. And I'm sure it was packaged a few other times. Regardless of if you want to deny it or not, bundles are very popular. Especially when they offer the game at no extra cost really, such as the uncharted 2 bundle. Considering the PS3 had its first record holiday year that year I'm sure they sold quite a few uncharted bundles.
