Forums - Sales Discussion - One of my predictions came true Uncharted outsold Bioshock (X360)

Why does this even matter?

Carnival Games outsold them both.

Uncharted got very close, and probably touched 2 million before it was bundled. Now it's bundled, and moving at a steady clip, but for the most part, it did catch BioShock 360 sales without being bundled.

Not arguing the whole bundling point again, since we all know that wide-spread bundles didn't happen until the 160 gig.

yeah it was bundled but people have a choise of many others like mgs4 and LBP ,motorstorm2,R2... bundles and they choose the uncharted soits not the same it deserve it

Uncharted bundled? Only in the US then? Because no such bundle exists here

Wow, thanks for putting this context. I am not sure if I should be sad, concerned, or apethetic to that stat. I think sad will do.

Bundled.

And... there is far less choices of AAA PS3 games than 360 games on the market.
Uncharted is the only option for many (hell, it was for me! along with MGS4).

Try to compare these two exclusives:
2 Third Person Shooter with the same gameplay mechanics:

Gears of War versus Uncharted.

Good luck.

Tone down on the fanboyism just a little please.

Wasn't Uncharted selling well before it was bundled? It was certainly selling well in Europe as it was introduced to the platnium range. I'm not too sure about NA.

While we're at it: MGS4 vs. Gears 2.

The guy made a prediction and it came true. It's not the end of the world.

The day one PC release of the title definitely took away a big chunk of the sales from the 360. The PC version sold over 1 million units by June 08

I don't see the point of comparing two very different games though.

I think the PC release took a substantial number of PS3 sales, not 360 sales.  I agree 100% with your last point.

 



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

Of course Uncharted sold really well. It had the same appeal that Motor Storm and Resistance had. They were big fish in a small pond.

 

Bioshock was a big fish in an ocean.
