No 31 70.45%

Uncharted and Infamous had a boost because of this: 



Around the Network

Uncharted and infamous were in a very popular bundle



The fuck is Infamous 1 doing back in the charts O_o

The Infamous collection isn't being tracked here at all, so they're just dividing up the sales between the two games?



Uncharted 1-3 and Infamous 1&2 were bundled last week.
Uncharted 3 had its own bundle though.



There's always the option of bundling the game.....

Wait, actually... are the Uncharted and inFamous collections being tracked seperately to the games featured in them, or is one sale of the collection just adding one sale to each of the games included? Like one sale of the inFamous collection adds one sale to both inFamous games? And even still, if that's how it's working, why is the first inFamous selling higher than the sequel, does that mean some people were just buying the same standalone too? I mean, shouldn't the sales of them be equal?


Anything announced recently isn't being tracked at all because DB admin aren't allowed to put new games in the database anymore, apparently.  There's a load of gaps appearing anyway, so something fairly recently announced like Infamous Collection just isn't in the DB.

Which makes me wonder if there's some kind of different tracking going on, but I highly doubt it.  I still find it highly odd that Infamous 1 re-entered the charts even if it was bundled.

I meant to make a thread about it asking when the admins will get the ability to add games again, but I haven't foudn the time to get round to it yet.



its to soon and the sales are too low for this to make an effect on sales, also this game wouldnt effect sales of games like Uncharted or GoW since they have the most notiable characters and people are buying the game for them. games like heavenly sword, infamous and sly cooper could benefit the most from this game

The sales are already very equal don't you think ? Obviously people are buying also standalone versions if they can find them for cheap.
Wasn't Infamous 2 on PS+ not too long ago ? This could very well mean that some want to try out the first as well.



I don't think All-Stars has helped any sales yet, but it will in the future. However, I imagine those sales -- purchased by All-Stars fans who become interested in the source material -- will be negligible.



I dont think so, which franchises would benefit from this?
