i agree, i think we can both agree on both. the issue is the industry will get lazy.

also i actually like Halo so im not slamming it at all. im saying MS should invest in more IP's. yes some wont work and some will but that doesnt mean they should stop and just release sequals. 

also:

Halo 3

Halo Reach

Halo 3: ODST (£39.99 on release, full game)

Halo Wars 

Halo: Combat Evolved Remake (not a HD post but fully re made wiht alot of effort)

Halo 4

= 6


Counting Halo Wars as another game in the saga franchise is like counting Little Big Planet kart racing as a Little Big Planet game xD
And I don't know about Halo: Combat Evolved. Feels like a truly HD remake (not like those perky HD remakes as in Silent Hill or Zone of Enders). It does not bring multiplayer, so it's just the Campaign in a whole new look. If you do count it, however, then it would be five.

 

And by the way:

 

 

 

They do invest in new IPs. I think the main concern is that they don't push them with marketing and everything like that as a Halo 4 or something like that. I mean, I just realize two days ago that Dark was coming to 360. It's just a shame, because the game - graphics aside - looks cool.



Around the Network

Gears of War 3 is at 5.88 million
Uncharted 3 is at 5.86 million

I give it about couple of months before Uncharted 3 overtakes Gears of War 3 in lifetime global sales.




Wow, didn't know Uncharted 3 was nearing 6m already. It took Uncharted 2 several years to reach a similar figure. Good stuff.

LOL, nevermind. For some reason, I thought Uncharted 3 released in 2012.

100% even. Never expected this, given the release of the first Uncharted.


YOU SAID THE SAME WITH THE TOTAL HARDWARE SALES REGARDING XBOX AND PS3 AND LOOK HOW IT TURNED OUT )=<

Well, I've been right on many predictions, but one can't predict correct every time.

Also, why ALL CAPS?


Because angryness! Didn't you see that terrifying face I put next to the caps? =D

Anyway, this is an achievement for Uncharted I have to admit!



Around the Network

Uncharted 3- 5,885,018
Gears of War 3- 5,893,376

In the last 4 weeks Uncharted 3 has outsold Gears by 6,000, 5,000, 4,000, 3,000.
Currently 8358 behind
So could be 2 or 3 weeks until Uncharted 3 outsells Gears 3.



PSP Lifetime more than PSV+3DS Lifetime.

awesome U3 sales :D



Well done Uncharted 3! All you needed is a 1.5m+ boost from bundles to almost match Gears of War 3 which had almost 0% bundling, has been available digitally for over a 1.5 years and is massively under-tracked. It's under-tracked because in Nov 2012 it was announced that the Gears of War series had past 19 million worldwide, Cliff Bleszinski noted that Gears 1 & 2 had sold over 12 million combined. So lets say Gears 1 was at 6.25m & Gears 2 was at 6.50m then Gears 3 was at about 6.25m+ back then. I'd bet that it's overtaken Gears 2 by now, somewhere between 6.50m-6.75m. I don't know why Vgchartz didn't update Gears 3 & 1 when Epic announced how well the series really sold, they must've updated Uncharted's numbers after ND shared numbers because they're perfectly inline with what they said, unless Vgchartz actually got it right. Look at weeks 5-10 and 55-60 to see Uncharted 3's mass bundling at work for those so quick to shrug off the bundling 'excuse': http://www.vgchartz.com/tools/game_comparison.php?reg=Global&ending=Cumulative&game%5B%5D=Uncharted+3%3A+Drake%27s+Deception+%28PS3%29+%5B49054%5D&game%5B%5D=Gears+of+War+3+%28X360%29+%5B44123%5D&game%5B%5D=&game%5B%5D= So yeah, you can act shocked and celebrate this 'achievement' if you'd like, even though Gears of War 3 is really ahead of UC3 by at least 500K+. Anyway, I think Gears of War 3 deserves praise for staying ahead for so long despite everything and for selling many more copies at full price.



wow, talk about damage control. That's hilarious!



As of April 2012, the Uncharted franchise sold 17M. I think Uncharted 3 is already at 6M right now.
