Gears Of War 3 was also bundled from day, but that Limited Edition Console costed $100 more.

so? the uncharted bundle was limited, and cost $50 more. 

Thats complete BS as it was the highest selling PS3 bundle of 2012.

what part of my post is complete BS?

 

as for being the highest selling ps3 bundle of 2012. 1st, i have no idea what that had to do with my post. 2nd i can neither confirm nor deny that claim, as i dont know if its true or not.

You said it was limited. Im telling you it certainly was not.



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

Eyo Sony, hook us up with another X amount of the UC3 bundle, shits selling like hot cakes -> They will do so.

What if retailers said... "Eyo, got any bundles without Uncharted 3? Maybe Skyrim or GT5?"

Sony said, "Nope. We need to inflate U3 numbers to entertain stupid threads like this. We can also claim to have sold 17 million units even though we  gave millions away."

Sony is the only company I know that brags about bundle numbers. They've done it with Gran Turismo as well.

The standalone version of Uncharted 3 still sold well:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/2012/videogames/ref=zg_bs_tab_t_bsar#1

It's #28 on Amazon's top sellers of 2012. Gears of War 3 is #70 in comparison.

Bundles are undeniably a big part of the sells but it's not like the game isn't selling on its own. It really proves that Uncharted 3 probably is a big incentive to buy a PS3. In my opinion it's actually the best game Sony could bundle with the PS3 right now.
