Uncharted 2 or GOW3, Which game will outsell the other?

VGarbia.com

Kratos undoubtedly has the upper hand if we compare the two hero's, But Drake has already left his footprint on the current generation of consoles so I guess its hard to judge who will really be the winner between them, but if you ask me....

sales was about 2.5mill for the first game, if it wasnt so short it would have been better than most of 360s current line up

@MGOelite

Uncharted sales are 2.5 according to VGchartz you should know better than those are estimates.

The game sold 117k when it was released on november and the sales were nothing too impressive.

The sales picked up with the bundles but thats about it. God of War is going to sell more. End of story.

Why give sales so much importance.... Both game will be absolute blasts and possibly GOTYs... Uncharted 2 by far looks the best game this year... GOW3 is looking better than ever, also with the series ending, one can expect an EPIC adventure.... Sales wise GOW3 will win mainly cause of it being having 2 sequels and cause UC2 will come around MW2.

What next.... Kratos vs Drake?

GODCHARTED FTW!!!!

For anyone who misses any of the games... watch out... You don't want to piss off Kratos. Besides you don't deserve a PS3 if you miss any of the 2.

I have a friend who who would like to play GoW III once it comes out. He doesn't have a PS3 but he sure loves playing Uncharted whenever he plays my PS3 lol. I'm sure he'll love playing both games since they are looking really good to begin with.

I really don't care which game sells more, because I'm a fan of both God of War and Uncharted, both games are in my Top 5 Most Anticipated games and I'm getting both Day one.

Anyways, I think Uncharted 2 will sell a little more, simply because it has Multiplayer. The first Uncharted game has sold well already, but it would have sold even more if it had Multiplayer.

God of War 1 was the highest selling God of War game with sales at just a little over 3 million, so I see God of War 3 selling maybe 2.5-3 million, but I think Uncharted 2 will sell a little more in the end.

Uncharted wasn't bundled until a year after it was released, and it was only in NA . Don't see your logic. Are you saying that 2.5mil bought $499.99 PS3s for Uncharted? You also forget that Uncharted was a Greatest Hits in EU since last year. Which pushed it onto a lot of new consumers.

Well, I can assure you one thing, I have around six friends who don't have a PS3, they have either a 360(which I also have) or a high end PC, and all of them are waiting for GOWIII to buy a PS3. But, personally, I don't give a rats ass how much they sell :D, as long as I will have a copy in my hand by the release date.

No one is say that VGchartz is exact (they don't even say so), but they are a good source to see, ruffly, how a game has sold. If vgchartz has the game at 2.5 million sold it's probably done better then that with the bundle.

But I do agree that God of War will probably sell more then Uncharted.

@N4GPS3

The majority of sales for Halo 3 were from bundles and disc replacements from scratching. Whats your point?

But to be on topic, only an idiot would buy one of these games. These two games are top notch quality. The only losers are the people that only have 360's.

Actually you're badly mistaken regarding the numbers of the First Uncharted. It had actually sold 1M units already in just less than 2 months...

So Uncharted sold VERY well far before they started selling any bundles. At least check your facts before posting flame bait.

While I think multiplayer and co-op will bring in more U2 buyers, I have to agree with everyone else God of War will sell more (unless U2 is bundled and GOW isn't). The bundle is what really helped Uncharted sell, and it's a good thing because I have yet to hear any real negative things about the first Uncharted besides length and U2 is suppose to be this huge adventure, and with multiplayer it's going to have some legs.

That being said God of War has consistently sold around the 3 million mark with no bundles, and IF Sony were smart they would bundle these games in with PS3's to sell more hardware.

They should sell just as much as each other since they are both looking to be equally amazing in quality and graphics.

It's either double or nothing otherwise it's just stupid. I'm buying both day 1.

1.20 - Sales sales sales
blah blah blah, A game's only as good as it's sales, isn't that what the fantools say? Yadda yadda Metacritic this, sales that, forget the fact that "fun" never enters the conversation, that would be illogical.

/sarcasm

I'm clamoring for both games, not because one will sell a lot, or one will rate high. You'd think fanboys would love math with all the obsession about numbers, but then you remember how dumb they are.

How more this gen than any other, gamers are more concerned with game sales than with the content therein. It's pathetic folks. Simply pathetic. When I bought the first Mario, the first thought through my head had nothing to do with how well the game would sell but rather how well the game would play.

Wish the old days were back.

Who cares which one outsells which. They'll both be great and we'll all enjoy them. God of War 3 may outsell Uncharted 2, but they are still two amazing PS3 games for us to enjoy. They'll each push over 2 million copies.

Buying both on day one. Both games are about as close as you can get to "can't lose". For gamers on a budget, if you can only afford to buy one, you simply can't make the wrong choice - that's a beautiful problem to have.

Games like this pretty much define their generation and as such are worth every penny.

I dont know how much GoW2 sold, that could be a good reference.

just because there aren't any good 360 exclusives to compare with, doesn't mean we have to compare ps3 exclusives with each other, because everyone knows both god of war 3 AND uncharted 2 are going to be amazing!, so i think nobody cares which one sells more, because you'l buy both, at least... that's what i do ;)

Uncharted Sold very well and is probably rated T thus it has more appeal to younger people. Sure this same young people could probably still buy GOW 3 but I think Uncharted 2 will sell more just buy a bit. Then again GOW 3 is also a highly anticipated game sooo. How about we just say it's a tie.

Hey serious question here who here has both Ps3 and xbox 360?

I think I just landed one of the best deals ever. My friend will sell me his brand new xbox 360 20gig with halo 3, fable 2, and some tennis game for $150 cash! Although I am a Sony fan I am also a gamer first. This seems like a deal I can't and shouldn't pass up. What do ya'll think?

Edit: on topic I am getting both day 1 so it doesn't matter to me.

@silly Yeah I'm definitely going to pick it up. There are some games on the 360 I wouldn't mind playing like Mass Effect or Geow, and Fable 2. I am not much of Halo fan so maybe I'll trade it in.

16.3 - i'd be carefull though
... its probably a flashed console (thats probably why he's ready to sell those class a games with a 150 $ bundle) you cant access live if its flashed, or (most likely) the dvd drive is fudged and cant read the discs or its rrod imminent ...

hmmm... its crazy but that deal could go wrong in so many ways... its too good to be true ... a 200 $ arcade comes without a hdd... and a separate hdd costs 100$... and no gears or fable with it either .. so be carefull ...

and you mentioned it to be a brand new unit right .. so all the probs i mentioned in very very rare cases do occur right out of the box as well so dont commit to a 360 without a warranty ... yeah ... go figure :\
