Maybe even a GotY edition with dlc included next year! 

Well, that one's inevitable.

Announce the new title at PSX 2017, launch Uncharted 4 Definitive with Beta access to whatever the hell they have planned. It's a win win situation really, we're probably gonna see it pushing 10 Million when all is said and done.

Edit - Please don't give Crapgamer any attention here.

Well yeah, there already are bundles (the LE bundle which tanked on Amazon).

What I mean is replacing BO3 as the sort of standard packed-in game. 

I can't see why not. Both Uncharted 2 and Uncharted 3 had similar treatment.

It's a very good franchise that not only appeals to the mass market, but has tremendous word of mouth. Easily marketable, easily recognisable as a quality product and it's the poster boy franchise for action adventure.

They'd be insane to not bundle Uncharted 4 throughout the holidays, or mid-2017.

No doubt, but the BO3 bundle is a bit strange, I believe Zhuge tweeted that BO3 bundle makes up over 90% of PS4 sales, and has been out for, what, over 5-6 months now? I think Uncharted 4 will get this same treatment once they retire the BO3 bundle. 

Unfortunately, there goes any hope of ever getting accurate sales numbers. When 90% of PS4s sold are bundled with UC4, the sales numbers don't say much.

I don't think it's fair to assume that.

Come on, are you telling me you didn't see where that conversation was going to end? LOL.



 

The PS5 Exists.

Fair to assume that Uncharted 4 will be the standard pack-in replacing BO3? Or fair to assume that being bundled with 90% of PS4s would make sales figures not useful to compare to other titles that weren't included in 90% of the consple bundles?

 

I don't know if it will replace the BO3 bundle or simply be an auxiliary bundle alongside BO3. Just a hunch of mine that it will replace the BO3 bundle.

Game should be judged on 2 things.

a) How it performs in the charts
b) From numbers provided by Sony or other trusted sources

As of right now, all we can assume is that the game has been a great success for Sony and ND. With more time and data, we can say for sure just how successful it's going to be, but we certainly shouldn't be guessing things based on worst case scenarios (90% bundles being an example of that).

so it's official... Uncharted 4 > Halo 5, sales wise?

 

We had (here on vgc) Halo 5 first week sales as 1.46m right?

Damn. Expecting to sell 7m LTD

You're missing half of the equation there. The budget/expectations are just as important as the sales numbers. 

 

I'm not assuming the worst, and it being bundled doesn't mean it sold poorly (BO3 obviously sold very well), I'm just saying it means that (if this happens) then the sales numbers will be forever muddled due to it.

Very frontloaded sales. I think it will struggle to get past 7 million.
