Both AAA games: Uncharted 3 on 92, Gears on 91. Uncharted 3 has now objectively overtaken Gears of War 3 in sales. The sales are the most definitive and objective way of defining the quality and success of a game- period. Uncharted 3 is #Winning!

But gears 3 sold almost all of its units at full price where as  Uncharted 3 was heavily discounted and bundled. Making money is the "most definitive way of defining quality and success of a game". Gears of war 3 destroyed uncharted 3 in this respect.



Around the Network

Fact No 1 - Gears of War 3 made more money since it sold a lot more in its first 2 months. A whole 1 million more units could equal anywhere between $30 million - $50 million in revenue over Uncharted 3.

Fact No 2 - Uncharted 3 was massively bundled.

Fact No 3 - Uncharted 3 has not made as much money nor sold as much as Gears of War 3.

So tell me how much money did gears of war 3 make? 

How much money did Uncharted 3 make?

I bet you have no idea, so until you do this it the only way we can gauge things. This is a far better way of doing things then making guesses, which is all you can do outside of actual numbers.

Better read the OP again.

Half of that statement is the same as the first statement,while the other half is against factual evidence.



I find disturbing that Gears of War 3 hasn't still crossed the 6 million mark, considering how well its predecessors did.

 

That being said, bundled or not, we gotta congratulate Uncharted 3 for its amazing sales too!



Ow look at me being an a-hole:

I enjoyed both... cause I like games not systems..

You're such a bad boy...



I'm surprised at Gears 3's sales to say the truth, isn't it like almost 2 million behind the second?
