Right, a different topic. However, I've yet to see that in here and people came in with hit-and-run posts such as "bundles. / thread" and the like. It exposes insecurities through-and-through and the main ones doing it are ironically the ones making the claims about popularity.


Here is the thing. When the select few from the Sony (OP from the now closed thread is one of them) side hijack every Halo 4, Gears of War, or Forza sales thread with their garbage about bundles and price drops it gets annoying. Especially when they turn around in a Sony thread and immediatly say it would have sold regardless of bundles and price drops.

This website has a HUGE problem with contradictions. So many things get thrown out the window when it fits a posters agenda. That is why I brought up the Halo 4 and GT 5 comparison. According to certain Sony posters Halo 4 had a huge bump in sales only because of a 40 dollar price tag it had for a few weeks. However GT 5 is at bargin bin prices yet those people would have bought the game regardless according to the Sony posters.

No denials on the contradictions, from both sides, but just because it happens in one place doesn't mean it should become an accepted natural-order-of-things.

No one said it had to be. If you want to talk about sales fine. However when you are going to compare sales from two companies and try to declare a winner you better get ready for people to bring certain things to the table that need to be taken into account. The thread wasn't just about Uncharted 3 sales. It was a Uncharted vs. Gears of War thread and once those threads start people are going to start bringing certain numbers up.
