Gears 3 seems to be selling very little these days. While Uncharted 3 is of course putting amazing numbers (albeit due to bundles mainly). It should pass OT soon, maybe even by the end of the year. It's only 500k units behind. If it keeps doing these 100k+ weeks, then it'll pass it by the end of the year. If not, then it'll pass it by early 2013 at the latest.

Smart business move by Sony to get the Uncharted fanbase as large as possible, especially as we transition to next generation. Thre's going to be a lot of Uncharted owners/fans in 2013. An Uncharted 4 at the PS4 launch would attract a lot of gamers.

uncharted was selling A LOT before bundling, it sold well over a million units this year before the bundles even started. uncharted was gonna pass with out without the bundles, the bundles will just make the inevitable happen quicker

uncharted sold better as gears even without bundle over the year  but if you would now take away the sales of the last weeks which uncharted got because of the bundles gears would be still 750k or something in front. not sure what you believe uncharted would sell without bundles now and next year per monthly basis but it should be lower as this year and gears will probably also sell some units so without bundles i don't think uncharted 3 would sell more as gears 3 until maybe end of next year but it's hard to say how both will sell next year.
