Even crazier; the Uncharted franchise is about to pass the Gears IP in sales. I never thought that would happen.

that's not crazy, it's the best ip for many on ps3 so it already had good sales and it will get bundled to death now as much as forza games. i mean, uncharted games sold this week alone 350k or something only because of the bundles, not to speak about the last weeks and next weeks.

ADJUSTMENTS IN PREVIOUS WEEKS

PS3 and 360 are selling with less than 100k different this holiday. 

As I figured would happen, I just didn't expect them to be as close as they are, particularly on Black Friday week. It was the Halo 4 + CoD combo vs Sony's advertising (can't believe I'm able to praise that, ), the bundles, and, of course, the Slim model. At this point, the PS3 will be the second place console in 2013 for the 7th gen (yeah, much to brag about, right ).

Even crazier; the Uncharted franchise is about to pass the Gears IP in sales. I never thought that would happen.

?

I know you wouldnt just say that.  But going by the numbers on here its a while to go yet.

3 Gears games at 18.16m

4 Uncharted at 15.82m

The gears franchise has shipped 19m since september of this year.. think vgchartz is a bit over on that one

Not really.

Check my posts. Uncharted was at 17.3 as of April 12th, 2012. Gears was at 19M as of the end of September. This of course comes before the bundling of Uncharted Collection and Uncharted 3 for the holidays.

Is it right to assume that after bundling and obviously more shipments that they aren't caught up or that Uncharted somehow probably has ~3M on shelves across 4 titles while Gears has just ~1M across 3 titles?

At it's worst Uncharted is right ups Gears ass.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Uncharted franchise should be in front of the Gears franchise in shipments (and thus sales then or soon after) after this holiday. It's a no-brainer. But, Gears might catch up with Uncharted again because of Judgment

Also considering that PS3 was heavily undertracked for Black Friday week it is easy to assume that the Uncharted titles were as well since just about every single discounted PS3 sold that week contained either Uncharted Collection or Uncharted 3.

I don't know if it will be bundled to the extent of Forza (Uncharted 2 certainly wasn't), but it's crazy, to me, being that I didn't expect that to happen. Uncharted 3 will do it for sure.

but it is now, that's why i said the whole uncharted franchise which all three games are bundled right now sold like 350k last week alone just because of bundles.

no clue if they had bundles in the past and sure, if you look at forza sales with and without bundles the percentual part of bundles is bigger but 350k in one week just because of bundles is still a lot and since it works i could see sony doing the same next year with a full uncharted franchise bundle or something....

but even without bundles, why not? it's one of the best new franchises this gen, for many even the best.



160k of Vita.

300k of AC Liberation.

Im so proud of my Vita baby :'(



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Week ending November 17th pre-adjustments

47,807 15,965 372 69,849
3,216 7,414 11,969 33,957

Now:

X360 421,203 (+18%) 70,163,546
3DS 408,208 (+9%) 22,506,064
PS3 344,238 (+23%) 68,455,084

So PSV was 100k+ pre-Black Friday week? You see that makes a huge difference.

Uncharted 2 will be at 6m in 1-2 weeks, Uncharted 3 managed 5m this week. Franchise is rapidly expanding.

FIFA 13 PS3 at 5m in 2 weeks.

AC3: Liberation is at 324k already. Looks like a definite million-seller.

Kinect Star Wars reached a million this week!

BF3 PS3 reached 6m!

PSV version of Playstation All-Stars sold 40k! About what I expected, considering you get it free with the PS3 version.

Forza Horizon sold 55k this week. Slightly up on last week.

RE6 PS3 is over 2m...interesting (happened last week)

Black Ops II sells 90k on Wii U. Significantly less than the Vita game that has around 30 on metacritic. (Declassified sold 80k this week!)

ZombiU is the only 3rd party Wii U game to sell over 100k so far (107k)

When VgChartz adjusted Vita HW up, did they also do the same for the bundled games? If not then both AC and Declassified are undertracked.

Wait for Ubisoft and Activision numbers

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

Even though I'm disappointed with the game, those are some great numbers for Hitman: Absolution. 1 million week one!

This is very bad for Hitman, Hitman is definitely dead.
