You're missing half of the equation there. The budget/expectations are just as important as the sales numbers. 

I'm not assuming the worst, and it being bundled doesn't mean it sold poorly (BO3 obviously sold very well), I'm just saying it means that (if this happens) then the sales numbers will be forever muddled due to it. 

Budget and expectations cannot be judged unless we have specific details. What we do know however, is that Naughty Dog has a fantastic track record when it comes to budget management. Even then, it's fair to assume that Sony and ND expect Uncharted 4 to be the best selling game in the franchise and it just had the best launch by a clear distance when we're talking actual units sold.

It's off to a great start.

The dev team nearly doubled over the predecessor and the marketing campaign was the largest in PS history. Excuse me for thinking that this tracking slightly ahead of TLoU and UC3 with their much smaller team size, budget, and dev time, is not a raging success.
