So you're saying Uncharted 3 isn't in demand?

Also, tell me this, before "mass bundling", Uncharted 3 was selling more on a weekly basis than Gears 3. And reason as to why that could have been?

Bingo! That's clearly what I said. You didn't twist my words at all.

Who cares which was selling more? Better question, which sold significantly more around launch at a higher price point? Gears 3. It also had a significant lead before the U3 bundling began. I doubt its a coincidence U3 caught up.

More Gears fans were there at launch. Uncharted fans waited for price cuts and many just had it handed it to them whether they wanted it or not.

The bold was a simple question. Your tone on it is telling, though.

Anyway, who cares which was selling more? Simple, the one that is being hailed as "only ahead because of bundles" was already ahead weekly before it was bundled to any significant degree. I know Gears 3 is more popular, in fact, that was never my argument, but the double standards cannot be ignored.

Just because U3 was selling more on a weekly basis doesn't mean it was going to surpass Gears 3 anytime soon.

Red Dead Redemption on PS3 may eventually pass the 360 version because it sells more weekly. However, its already taken years for this to happen. UC3 managed to a close the Gears 3 gap of about a million in just a few months.

Explain the double standard. I'm not touting the sales of a massively bundled game (or series).
