then tell me what was his point in comparing sales.

I can't give you a 100% definitive answer, but I can speculate that it was to show Uncharted's growth (specifically in conjunction with Gears of War). Bundles cannot be ignored, no disputing that, but neither can the uptick this franchise has seen in sales, whether they exist or not.
|
The way I see it, Uncharted 3 wasn't expected to sell nearly as well as GoW 3. Based on the sales of prior games in each of the 2 franchises and the crazy pre-orders that GoW 3 had. So the fact that they got this close and since they share virtually the same game genre makes the comparison interesting.
|
Which is crazy when you think about it, because Gears of War 2 is the highest seller in the series (6.58mill), and Uncharted 2 is now over 6 million (just 500K behind it, in fact). The two franchises got closer with the last release, and I don't believe Uncharted 2 was bundled to the degree that Uncharted 3 has been.
|
uncharted 2 managed those sale sbecause it was super mass bundled, look at uncharted 2 first 2 months of sales with holidays included it probably managed 2.5 million in sales, what kind games sales that low its first 2 months with holiday's included and goes on to sell 6 million units, its called a super mass bundled game.
|
Nope. It's called the winner of over 200 Game of the Year awards.
|
yet look how many people were line up to buy uncharted 3 day 1, let me know when uncharted franshise break a million in its first month on npd, or chart track like the other big franshises.
|
Seems like roughly the same shift in sales happened between GoW 2 to GoW 3. ^^,
|
the fact is almost every single mass bundled game does over 5 million, you wanna judge how populer a franshise with out bias, look at its first 2 months of sales, especially if its released during the holidays.
