Depends how much longer Uncharted 3 is heavily bundled, even then it looks like a no. Gears 3 is trending for 7 mill lifetime at least

i personally wouldn't be surprised if it didn't. Gears 2 was released on november 7th 2008 after its first 10 weeks only an extra 2.3 million copies were sold thats three years and a month, and nearly 3 christmas seasons, rumour has it the new xbox might be seen at e3 next year so if its true id say it would be out in 2013. Gears 3 would have to have much better legs then 2 or 1 

Not really, it'll be 2 years before the nextbox hits which is plenty of time to shift another 2 copies. It only needs legs on par with the 2nd.

Seem to be looking at best case scenario for U3 and worst for Gears 3.

'Seem to be looking at best case scenario for U3 and worst for Gears 3.' Not really just looking at there previous instalments uncharted 2 managed to sell another 4.5 million  copies after it's first 10 weeks in 2 years it was released on october 13th. Gears of war 2 sold 2.4 million copies after its first 10 weeks in 3 years.  

Difference being Uncharted 2 was the breakout hit Vs. Gears of War 1.

Doesn't change the fact of what you expect from gears 3 legs, and if it is only on par with gears 2 legs then its not making 7 million

I don't think it's going to happen. Even though Gears 3 is having much worse legs than I thought it would I think it will still manage about 7-7.5 million when it's all said and done whilst UC3 will probably make it to 6.5-7 million (unless that UC3 bundle is a long lasting one)

So to answer your question it is possible but I believe it's rather unlikely that it will.

Aha dw its cool, im not saying uncharted will outsell it, it was generally just up for discussion but no one is really giving uncharted a chance

Nay, not without massive bundling. I do believe that's how UC1 and 2 have achieved those numbers.

This thread wouldn't exist if UC3 hadn't been bundled for free the past 4 - 5 weeks. Watch the sales nosedive if sony stops bundling it.

uncharted 2 DID NOT manage to sell another 4.5mil after its first 10 weeks. Where are you getting this info from. You are comparing extrapolated lifetime sales to non extrapolated week 10 sales. In its first 10 weeks Uncharted 2 sold 2.4mil

22
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)
Sony Computer Entertainment, Action
10 189,600

2,421,999

Since then it has sold 5.2mil. 5.2mil -2.4mil =2.8mil after its first 10 weeks.
