No love for Gears vs Uncharted discussion?

there's no discussion, Uncharted 4 beat Halo 5, Gears 4 is small game now, i suggest comparing Gears 4 with Ratchet & Clank or somehting like that

Uhnnnn it seems interesting comparing UC to RC... But the idea here were to compare the second position exclusive of Sony versus MS. Have MS exclusives dropped so much bellow Sony this gen?

Did Uncharted 1 really sell only 30K units in it's first week? That's not a typo? Talk about some serious legs. I guess it being the first game to feature a platinum trophy after the famous PS3 FW update 2.40, it's not too surprising.

Not a typo on my part, copied from the database. The game is fantastic, but the moment of PS3 at that time and being a new IP and no marketing could justify it.

I'm surprised that GoW4 performed so low compared to the past GoW games. It was better than judgement and got fairly great reviews. The userbase is smaller (at least compared to GoW3) but it's a well known franchise and staple exclusive. I think it will have great legs and should be heavily bundled this holiday season but still. I guess GoW has room for growth in this gen since it seems like they are gonna churn out a sequel where as uncharted got its conclusion.

But kudos to uncharted for its impressive growth over the years, earned every single sale.

This either highlights how most people are moving to downloads and digital media seems to be ousting boxed crap. TBH it's sort of encouraged since it takes an eternity to run X even with a copy and day one prices are the same most of the time. The whole preload thing also entails you are able to download it while you sleep and play it in the morning, whereas doing this with copies seems difficult... 

In other words, convenience. 

So you really think that digital sales only affected Gears and Halo but for some reason Sony customer don't buy digital so any enhancement of the numbers shall only be done to MS games?
