You’re overestimating the Uncharted bundles.
By the end of October Uncharted 2 had sold 1,443,769
PS3 in the same time period sold: 818,079
So at the very least 600K were sold standing alone, and the real figure is probably over 1 million.
Uncharted 3 sold 1,359,289 on it’s first week, with 343,974 PS3s sold in the same week. So at least 1 million without a bundle in its first week. This also shows the franchises growth.
Second of all, games sell bundles. There’s a reason people bought the Uncharted bundle over the 2-5 other bundles on offer. If Uncharted wasn’t so good at selling the console, it wouldn’t be bundled as heavily. Sony aren’t selling uncharted bundles to sell uncharted as much as to sell PS3s.
I’d like to point out the high meta scores for Uncharted games too, which does a lot to help carry a game.
