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.

There's a difference between a holiday bundle and pack-in. For a while, Forza titles were more than just "bundled", it was available in every 360 you could buy. Still, makes no real difference either way, and I didn't want this to become a Forza vs Uncharted battle. So let's not turn it into that.

yeah i just used forza to show that i think the same about xbox games (because people like to put you in one corner very fast) and it's obviously much more with forza.
but still, if you check numbers of black friday and compare them with the weeks before you see uncharted 1+2 with like 200k more sales and uncharted 3 which already had higher sales the weeks before because of the bundle did also increase a lot and i would say at least 300k sales of uncharted in the black friday week came from the bundles and the franchise would have sold minimum 250k less this week without bundles (maybe some of new customers would have bought it even without bundle)
but like i already said, uncharted deserves it and i see no reason why people think that it is a wonder or something. there is almost no franchise with a better word of mouth, graphic whores buy it also (if you can call console gamers graphic whores) and some other reasons also sell it (as example it's much more a game for everyone as gears is)
so all i really wanted to say is
"i don't wonder that it is so close to gears sales and with bundles which will sell maybe some more units i see no reason why it shouldn't sell as much as gears because it's an awesome franchise and it would deserves it even without bundles"
i believe sometimes i sound worse as i want because of my shit english.
