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.

Google Uncharted 3 sells 3.8m in a week. Uncharted is far bigger than Forza and LBP, with or without bundles.

already googled and saw the thread at neogaf, thats shipped not sold.

Yup. 3.8m shipped day 1 yet you think 40% of its sales come from bundles that came after that. Laughable

the copy of uncharted 3 in the bundle is probably included in those shipped figures.

That's not the problem. People are saying Uncharted is like Forza in popularity, while Uncharted sells A LOT more and a lot faster than Forza without the bundles, and obviously more with the bundles.

Really?!?!? Even I dont agree with that.

My issue is the double standard with counting bundle sales. If you guys endorse Uncharted bundle sales then I should see no negative comments towards Forza. Then were cool :)

This isn't a Forza thread though, yet people in here are bringing up Kung Fu Panda, Forza, Lego and what have you to discredit its sales. And saying it's the most bundled game of this gen after GT5 and Nintendo games is laughably wrong.

That it is. My only comment on the matter is that it wouldnt have caught up to Gears 3 without the 2012 bundles. But I endorse bundles, so it is what it is.



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

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.....

Gears of War 3 was bundled from Day 1. Beyond that, and before holiday bundles, Uncharted 3 was outselling Gears 3 weekly. I'm not sure who compared popularity, but to say it's "no where near as popular" is just completely false

uncharted 3 is mass bundled, i looked up gears of war 3 bundle and there selling for 600$ new on ebay, it says rare, limited edition bundle.

It's really not bundled to the degree that some of you want to make it, because there are plenty of skus that don't have Uncharted, unlike a pack-in that can be bought no matter what system sku we're talking. What is it bundled more than Gears 3, indeed. However, the Gears 3 bundle still helped push sales.

yea the gears of 3 bundle is also 100$ more when it came out, it was a collecters item, unlike the uncharted 3 bundles were there giving out amazing deals.

Still don't see the issue, because I'm not someone that attempts to discredit a bundled game, nor do I try to make distinctions (unless it is nothing but bundled from the beginning with every sku - such as Wii Sports).

There's only one reason you see any of the above happening here.  

i'm not trying to discredit it, but lets be realistic, gears of war 3 sold with out the help of bundles and bundled games always do impressive numbers, even when the franshise is not even that big, show me a mass bundles game that didn't sell great.

Is it a habit of yours to ignore everything that destroys your own arguments?

"Uncharted 3 sales in November on VGChartz: 791k - so no more than 91k from bundles

sales in Dec: ~450k. I'm not sure your 300k NPD figure is correct though, but let's assume it is. That would mean 150k+91k= 241k from bundles out of sales of 1.25m or 19% from bundles. That's the most it sold from bundles, because I think it was higher in NPD than 300k."

how does that destroy my argument, bundles are included in vgchartz sales and uncharted 3 was bundled from day 1.

Yet, you're the one I see bringing out the bundles argument the most on all of VGC... Along with DirtyP2002.

But if Gears of War 3 was also bundled, then no, it did not. I know it was more expensive and Limited, but it helped push sales for weeks after the release. Plus, you keep calling Uncharted 3 a "mass bundled" game when that is an exaggeration. 

So yup, you have discredited it and made excuses for one bundled game vs another. 

how did 100$ more expensive collecters bundle help it sales, only a harcore fan of the series would pay 100$ more and it was a limited edition. the uncharted bundle mean while is every where best buy, wal mart, i see them all the time.

Looks like its gonna happen sooner than we all thought.

Werent people saying Gears 3 had the potential to sell 10 Million?
