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!

Wrong, money is and Gears selling more in it's first year won easily. Quality? How do sales=quality?

 

Nintendogs better than Gears 3 and Uncharted 3 confirmed. http://www.vgchartz.com/game/1657/nintendogs/

 

Congrats to ND and UC3.


For a moment I thought you were saying "Congrats to Nintendogs and Uncharted 3" xD

Lol, I should have wrote Naughty Dog... Lucky you cleared it up before I got quoted 1,000,000 times!

Man, you really know how to rustle up some jimmies. Either grats to Uncharted 3. Fantastic game, from start to finish. Unfortunately, it lives in the shadow of Uncharted 2.

Also, watching you guys bicker back and forth about sales and justifying who is actually beating who is quite amusing.

I blame used game sales.

Uncharted 3 may have been heavily bundled indeed but the Uncharted 3 bundle was still 50$ more than the regular PS3 price. I think it's now only 20$ more. It's not like the game comes free.

As a person who remembers seeing people argue 2 years ago over which game would sell more it's nice to see that they reached the same amount.

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.


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.

Guesses? It doesn't take a genius to work out that a game costing $60 makes more than a game costing $40 or less and also being given away for next to nothing (bundled).

Ummm Your comparing these 2 why? I mean i have common sense to see a somewhat reason you might would but 2 years after their release baffles me to why anyone would care over 2 kinda similar games. Fanboys really gotta make a competition out everything?

Let me give you an example

Gears of War series - 19.75 Million

Uncharted series - 17.64 Million

See it shows Gears of War as a series has sold more so this would give a Gears fanboy equal bragging rights correct?.......... But!!! Nobody cares :D Have a goodnight brother


This is a sales forum, people here are interested in sales figures of videogames. If you dont have anything to contribute dont post in this thread.

 

Well sir i digress that i did add to the topic along with my opinion by stating Gears of War sales as a series were more then Uncharted,your post however added nothing more then a lackluster comment to make a remark towards me,which shoulda been done through the PM system they have in place here correct? Oh well let me add more to the topic so i dont ditto your actions :D

 

It is true Uncharted 3 was bundled heavy during its life span to make quite a bit of its sales by the game was in the $40 and under price tag but i do remember the Gears 3 limited Xbox edition but then again i cant see that making up as many sales because the said Xbox was "Limited". I just dont see how Gears 3 feel off the map by that much because i remember it selling close to 3.5 million copies its first week or 2 then the next outing was under 800k right? 


You were questionning why he was comparing the sales of the 2. Its strange that you should question that, we're on a sales based gameforum so its normal to see this, not only that but the OP put it in the sales subforum so your behaviour was out of place. Even more so when you try to belittle what UC3 achieved by derailing it with overall sales and bundles discussion. I was under the impression Gears 3 was a heavily bundled game as well, so in the long run UC3 beat it.
