Tagged games:

I've seen this pattern. 360 games have better openings, PS3 games have better legs.

deserves it, my favourite franchise this gen.

Uncharted 3 probably sold quite a bit digitally too.



Is this the Halo vs GT thread? It isn't? Sorry I made the mistake, since the way this thread is going seems to similar.



Uncharted 3 is still undertracked though...the sony PR proves that.



Dat massive franchise. lol



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords

What do you all think UC3 will end at?

Uncharted 2 is going to break 7.5 mill(Crash Bandicoot status) before it stops selling and i believe UC3 might sell more than UC2

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.


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).

2 things you have to factor is is that Sony owns ND so they make the money back on publisher fees and dev cuts, M$ doesnt own Epic so they only make money from the publishing. How do you factor these costs into your guesses?

Doesn't change the fact that Gears of war 3 has generated more money, i couldn't care less who the money goes to the fact remains.

While GoW3 was downloaded via torrent 800k times ;)



How much did it get bundled. I thought is was a lot and still is. I could be wrong. However Gears 3 at launch but not anymore.
