Cant wait for NPD, and see how Uncharted did in the US.

In england it did 192k firstweek (up 66% to UC3)
In Spain it did 78k firstweek (up 95%)
In Japan it did 129k firstweek (up 4%)

I'm expecting overwatch to be huge.

I am too, though I think a lot of its sales are going to be on PC, so it will lean more heavily digital than most titles. I still expect a really good retail showing though. 

Overwatch will be massive.

Damn, because this isn't on Steam we will not have SteamSPY's data.

Wonder how Uncharted 4's legs will be. Due to heavy marketing + being the fourth game in an already well-known, critically acclaimed series, I doubt we'll see legs as good as The Last of Us.

Plus TLOU was heavily bundled.  An Uncharted bundle will do wonders for legs but it will really depend on Sony's plan for Playstation and their other titles.  And how much they think Uncharted will sell.  I think they will opt for a price drop on Uncharted in a few months and pivot to No Mans Sky for the bundle until fall in the US.

I would almost bet money that Uncharted 4 will be the default bundle in 6-12 months time.

They only count England in the UK's charts ?, or they count all the other countries of the UK ?.

While this does make a lot of sense, I am not as confident as you.  With the holiday season coming up and with GTSport (flashback to PS2 days and that bundle) and the inevitable 3rd Party deals, I would not make that bet until after E3. Too many moving parts at this point.  And unless Microsoft snags Titanfall 2, I feel Uncharted will have to contend with COD, GTSport, Titnafall, and possibliy Horizon ZD for the bundle spot.
