Tomb Raider, because Uncharted was delayed.

Well yes worldwide because the world is more than the US.   What about the US though, how do you think that will play out?

Tombraider.

I can't say with certainty.  Also, I think that Tomb Raider will have a bigger launch in the US but the extra month may give Uncharted the time to build up enough sales to win this holiday duel.

The comparison is between the Uncharted Collection and Tomb Raider. If UC4 launched this holiday it wouldn't even be  close.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

I'm gonna go with Uncharted here. There was a lot of demand for this by the Xbox 360 converts, and according to Sony's constant claims there are nearly as many of that crowd as there are current XBO owners. Couple that with the fact that it seems like XBO exclusives tend to die down around 4 million sales if not sooner, and the fact that the NDC is gonna be bundled to all hell for the next year or two, and it's a safe assumption that Uncharted wins this one. When TR goes multiplat it might take the win back though, depending on how many Sony players actually pick it up late next year after the hype is gone.



You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt!  I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading.  After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!

I think MS may bundle Tombraider in with the Fallout 4 bundle. MS have to make good on that deal they made with SE.

I still think the NDC carries the day. TR is launching on the same day as Fallout 4 and I honestly don't expect it to share the same critical success that the last game had. Not to mention Uncharted launches a month before hand and has the UC4 beta.

That would be odd. It would sort of be a bittersweet win if that were the case...You'd just have a bunch of people buying it for Fallout 4 and getting TR for free.

Ummm... I don't know about that....  what Microsoft could do is bundle Halo 5 with every bundle though.  Thats another topic though lol.

I added a bit above. SE are clearly not happy with the deal they made with MS which is why they announced the PS4 version BEFORE the XB1`version released. Those sale may mean more to MS than they do to SE.

I think uncharted easily. Ms will most probably want to emphasize halo is back again and Sony wants and has to make sure everybody out there gets uc collection because of uncharted 4.
Tomb Raider will get attention, of course, but not in the same way uncharted will get by Sony. Also considering the sales gap, more install base will equal more sales from anything that is released on PlayStation.
