LOL not really, we know for a fact gears of war 3 sold 4 million units in 2 months from npd, add a million in europe and that's 5 million at full price with in 2 months, uncharted 3 bundles probably account for 40% of uncharted 3 sales, really no comparison.

40%?

Again, like Nsanity, this is taken from... where?

Unless you know the number of consoles that were bundled with the game(s), this is a completely baseless and anecdotal assumption.

i think its a good estimate, npd showed uncharted 3 at 700,000 in its first month of sales, the next month it was like 300,000, did'nt even make the top 10, i think its a very realistic esimate.

What you think is irrelevent. Unless you have factual evidence, this means absolutely nothing.

VGCHARTZ game sales is based on irrelevent infromation, the only factual evidence we have is chart track and npd and based on that gears of war 3 smokes uncharted 3 in popularity. 

Hum... based on VGChartz numbers (I know, they're irrelevent, right? So please do provide the links to the numbers you're over-enthused about), Gears of War 3 stands at 5.73M while Uncharted 3 is at 5.6M.

This hardly pictures a game "smoking" an other one in popularity. 

But that's beside the point. You went around the subject discussed and didn't addressed the 40% nonsense you made up... 

just google gears of war 3 sells 3 million in a week. almost every bundled game does impressive sales, like LBP and even forza 3 get huge inflations. considering uncharted 3 was bundles from day, let keep on pretending uncharted is in the same league as gears of war 3 when it come to populairty.

According to vgchartz, GoW 3 sold less than 1/3 of what UC3 did in 2012. It's easy to understand why you're so upset.

i'm actually not upset, uncharted is a great franshise but its no where near as populer as gears of war 3, uncharted 3 bundled from day 1, you can find the uncharted 3 bundle every where, i would guess 2 million of it sales from bundles. amost any game that bundled does impressive sales of over 5 million, you can do the research yourself, if you like.

That's great. I can guess that only 100,000 of its sales are bundled. See how pointless it is to speculate? Find some hard evidence so support your outlandish claim that 2.24 million copies of UC3 were bundled (40%) or keep your comments to yourself as they have no evidenciary basis and are simply assumptions devoid of any merit.

microsoft fans have excuses ready for everything. excuses for when a ps3 exclusive sells well. excuses when ps3 passes the 360. excuses about ps3 outselling 360 every week. even excuses of ps3 hitting 70m about how sony have lost compared to last gen. always excuses. basically no matter what, sony are losers to these guys and that wont change because they dont have a choice of which console to own, rather they're stuck with their platform of choice.

I think the PS fans have generated far more excuses this gen then anybody else. Going from 1st to last place allows the bar to be lowered and a ton of compromises to be made. As a 2nd palce representative since 2006, there is no excuse because after all, we have been winning this whole time. It is you.

But on point, I see a double standard here. Forza bundles are looked down upon but Uncharted bundles are 100% A O K.

Sigh.....



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Wait, Forza bundles are really looked down upon?  What for? It's not like any game in that franchise outperforms GT5...

Well in reviews they all do :P. But this is about sales so....

IP sales for this gen hold their own. But dont pretend that the PS faction doesnt look down upon Forza due to its bundle sales. But when its Uncharted, bundles are totally fine I see...
