All that really does is prove both titles were bundled (Uncharted 3 a bit moreso). The fact that a franchise that started no where near Gears of War numbers to land where it is today is really saying a lot.

Well a limited edition bundle available for 2 months versus a wide range of different bundles available all over the world for the past 13 months and the forseeable future is more than "a bit" IMO.

And where exactly did Uncharted come from and where Gears did not come from? Both are new IPs this gen. One released in 2006 on a console that launched in 2005 and the other one in 2007 on a console that launched in 2006. Uncharted did not have a disadvantage or something like that.

Actually, Uncharted did have a disadvantage.  It started on a console whose entry price was $500, while Gears started on a console whose entry price was $300.  That's quite the disadvantage.
