The PS3 exclusive's whopping day one figure makes it "one of the best-selling titles of 2011, putting the third instalment on a clear course to be the biggest selling game in the trilogy", Sony said in a statement.
No sooner did Gears take that aforementioned crown did Naughty Dog's epic Uncharted series snatch it away. While both franchises are very different in terms of tone, style, and even mechanics, they both fall into the same category. And as much as I love Epic's great series, I really can't see Gears 3 topping Uncharted 3 in any category. Visual presentation? Voice acting? Soundtrack? Overall control? Storyline? Characters? Environment? Yeah, sorry Gears, you can't win this one.
Pre-order sales for Sony Corp.’s Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Collector’s Edition for the Playstation 3 spiked to the top 35 this week at GameStop Corp.’s online division due to strong demand.
This week, the Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Collector’s Edition ranked as the No. 34 best-selling pre—order product at Gamestop.com.
The game, due in 2011, will feature Drake and partner Sully on a hunt for a lost city, a journey that leads them to the Arabian Peninsula and Rub' al Khali Desert. (Note the sandy "Exhibit A" above.) The story not only lifts from the life of Sir Francis Drake but also British Army officer and archeologist T.E. Lawrence (yes, as in "of Arabia").
