EVERYBODY LITTLE BIG PLANET is a bigger franchise then gears of war 1, look at those amazing sales :p

One game is bigger franchise than another game? It's bad enough you're making an off-the-wall post, but then you have missteps throughout even that.


i was being saracastic.

I get that. I just don't see how it connects here, and it has obvious errors at that.


offtopic: Awesome sig, who da girl in da middle.

Oh look, it's been 11 minutes and still nobody has dismissed this as an effect of bundling.

Plenty of games are bundled with the PS3. People buy the Uncharted 3 one because they want to own Uncharted 3.

Anyway, good news for a great franchise.

Maybe people are just looking for a good deal?

You can easily see when the bundling started, but you can't expect a Turkish thread to be fair and mention that.

 I myself was thinking of the GOTY edition. Furthermore, I believe UC3 was bundled as early as the games release, and Gears 3 also had bundling. 
I'm not a sales person. Thats why you can't expect that explanation for a spike in sales in a Turkish thread, nothing biased and prejudiced to it.

UC3 and Gears 3 both had launch bundles. UC2 was actually bundled after launch with the premium PS3 SKU of its time.

And yes the huge spike is due to the GOTY bundle (and UC1 and UC2 got a similar bundle during the last holiday and saw a similar boost).

I'm not saying that it's impossible for UC3 to eclipse Gears 3 at one point (without bundles) but you could at least ask yourself why UC3 jumped to these hights lately and do a bit of research before creating such a thread.

Threads like this will only lead to copycats making threads about Kinect Adventures is a bigger franchise than Gran Turismo or other similar crap which we don't need.


Exactly, similar trends with UC2:

 

So what? The spike is due to the GOTY edition, not solely due to GOTY edition being bundled with a PS3. If you have numbers on the procentual share of GOTY editions being in bundles, you're welcome to share them.

This is a good thread, a copycat thread would be comparing Halo with GT. Valid comparisons that people are interested in. Kinect Adventures vs GT is nonsensical and adds nothing to the discussion. UC vs Gears is really interesting, both have been compared dozens of times on VGC so I'm not sure why you're having a problem with it this time around.

Because this time he is not winning.

Seriously, if Uncharted is outselling Gears due to bundling, why don't Microsoft bundle one of its gladiators with their console to overtake PS3's sales? Xbox 360 sold less than 100K last year for several weeks, Microsoft should understand that Gears is not selling now, so they should bundle it according to these guys speculation. That way, they will make some profit on console, no?

Some of these threads are pure gold.

There's even graphs and all.

I'll be getting Uncharted when they release the collection with the 3 games.

Anyway, Uncharted about to outsell Gears. Nice, not many people saw that coming.

I bought the standalone U3 GOTY Edition a month or so back.

my point being is don't judge how populer a franshise is by sales only, cause you don't know how it got there, wether it be bundles or bargain bin, the best way to judge is by looking at offical numbers its first 2 months availble, when your game sells 4.5 million in one month, you know the franchise is important to them, they been waiting for that game to come out.

There's a new gears coming out soon, they will probably bundle that one for maximum console sales
