What this shows us is Gears declining popularity. Gears 3 is the lowest selling in the numbered series, and Judgement is just...yeah.
Uncharted on the other hand is growing, as you can see by the huge boost from Uncharted 1 to 2 and then Uncharted 3 has achieved similar sales to 2 in a much shorter period. Not counting Golden Abyss, as it's on another handheld, however 1.16M sales on a 7M system is something to brag about.

Well Uncharted has hardly grown in popularity, it's just that every subsequent game has been bundled & advertised significantly more, it's as simple as that. Take away the mass bundling & Sony's most expensive marketing campaigns and it's not that big a franchise. Probably would sell around 4.5m ish.
Gears of War is still a substantially more popular franchise and they don't rely on mass bundling. Also I bet Gears of War 3 is significantly undertracked. I doubt a game that sold 3 million copies week 1 could have such poor legs.
On topic, I expect Gears of War for Xbox One to be a real show-piece game, it's going to be beautiful but let's just hope it's as great in all departments, Gears of War: Judgment is a looker but my goodness it sucked hard.

Since you seem to know so much, how many of the Uncharted sales were bundles? If you can't give me a concrete number, don't bring up the bundles argument. Your comment is even more off topic than ours lmfao.
