Uncharted isnt really that big in the USA. plus we are 2 months away from release. 

Remains to be seen if that's the case with this release. As for the 2 months from release, plenty of other bundles were unveiled within that timeframe and didn't drop off so quickly.

UC3 did 700k in November 2011 (NPD). its decent, but nothing massive. i think UC4 can reach 800k in april NPD. considering it has just one week, and its not releasing during the holidays.

Will Sony phase out the BO bundle to promote the Uncharted bundle soon?

Sony will be wanting to cement in another Black Ops marketing deal for next year and the best way of doing that is to make sure the first marketing deal pays off.

We are in February, it's good enough, time to move on.

Not just yet ... March.

Poor Street Fighter.

You know what, I'd forgotten about Street Fighter 5. At the end of the day though, look at how high that bundle is and how well it's sustained a high ranking in the charts. Would it be wise to suplant it with soemthing that may not have the same affect?

I think there should be an incentive to newer games, BO already sold more than enough, could give ST a bit of screen time until Uncharted comes, because Uncharted will be going for a gooooood while there.

I think the Streetfight 5 bundle doesn't release until April though so offering a deal similar to the BO3 deal would cut into potential customers for the LE SF5 bundle.

800k might be too big. Maybe 650k fw for uncharted 4 seems about right and that would still make it the best opening in Uncharted history in the US.

Doubt it considering how the Uncharted bundle cost $400 unless they release a standard #350 bundle with uc4.

Here's today's update to the monthly and Week 1 rankings:

PS4 COD bundle: #24 (↓1)
XBO Gears bundle: #37 (↑2)
New 3DS XL: #57 (↓2)
N3DSXL Fire Emblem bundle: #68 (↓2)
PS4 Uncharted 4 bundle: #85 (↓12)

I really dont understand this bundle. Why is it even charting when it doesn't even come with the game? Its a bundle with a special le 3ds but no game.

You'd be surprised at how popular handhelds with limited edition colors and designs can get even without a game. Sometimes all it takes is just a brand new color to shift some hardware.

The only people i see buying this are the hardcore FE fans.

OMG please stop worring about Uncharted.  It is fine. There are so many games coming out this month for PS4 that April isn't even a convern at this point.  PS4 will win April.  Uncharted will be the biggest exclusive of the year and probably the highest selling console exclusive by years end.

Most likely.

Time to do that already, enough with CoD xP

Not when its the top console SKU.  COD is doing business for them right now.
