This thread has become nothing more then filled with stupidity.

This has become nothing more then fanboys getting there rocks off because there favourite franchise has higher sales count then another high selling game.

My honest opinion is this...This thread should close.

@underlined : Thread has a lot of hits and it is mostly on topic as to what is being discussed though. It has even been mostly civil considering the content being discussed here.

It's just a sales comparison thread on a sales comparison website tho, I'm sure it has/will spawn a number of counter threads and VGchartz ad revenue will live another day :D

Yeah, its nuts.

Kinect Adventures also a mega hit. People forget its a bigger hit than all Uncharted games combined.



Uncharted 3 - 6.78m

Uncharted 2 - 6.67m

Uncharted Drakes fortune - 4.92m

Uncharted - Drake Collection - 3.57m

Uncharted Golden Abyss - 1.68m

23.58m combined retail sales compared to 21.75m pack-in copies of Kinect adventures.

Also this is retail copies of the games, I would think the uncharted games would have a far higher Digital:Retail ratio than the game which requires you to have a piece of hardware which includes the software as a pack-in for the most part on the X360.

Regarding the Lego indian jones, I never noticed just how much of a bundled title that was (even I have that double disk lol) but yeah see on the charts here the games under neath it's sales, Borderlands 1 + 2 both rate lower than it.... even Mass Effect 3 is lower in sales, Christ that is sad out.



i think that the only new franchise of the 7 generation era, that out-sold the Kinect games, and were not a motion franchise, was just Assassin's creed.

Never understood the fascination in uncharted, games are so short. In that respect they are not worth the full retail prices in my opinion.

 

Statement makes no sense... The games have a full campaign and 2 & 3 have very good multiplayer components. Not to mention replayability for collectables etc. Nearly forgot co-op mode. 

I personally found them to be a very appropriate and even generous size for the type of narrative they aim for. Look at what other publishers are offering for the same price.... Battlefront, Siege, Tomb Raider with no multiplayer and dialogue so bad it is like a cringe-A-thon. 

 

If you don't like a game because it is Sony affiliated, I think it is best to just say that.... cause most of the time it is pretty clear anyway.

Uncharted is half price on Amazon, I would hope it's rising in sales. Just about cracked the top 10 on the link just provided.

Of course, the bulk of its sales were still the holiday bundle.

I'd say there's a ton of people who had a 360 last gen getting the uncharted bundle to catch up. It's great to see uncharted become such a power house. It deserves the higher sales :)

Its not like Halo 5: Guardians is at Full Pirce tho. The game is priced at 45.99 $ (23% OFF).

 

Maybe the reason is that people moved on from its online, seeing how games like:

Destiny: The Taken King (Xbox One) - # 67

Star Wars: Battlefront (Xbox One) - # 21

Call of Duty: Black Ops III (Xbox One) - # 17

Rainbow Six: Siege (Xbox One) - # 8

All of them better placed on the rankings.

 

People must be waiting for Halo 5 to be Dirt Cheap on the Bargain Bin so they can experience just the short campaign, because the online is a wasteland nowadays.

 



A lot of people probably have moved on. Online communities on consoles are very short lived for most games. Calling it a wasteland though is just nonsense and weak bait.

The thread is 3 pages long and we are yet to see anything close to something relating to "the state of Xbox". All we see is a massively bundled game on the most popular console has slightly outsold Halo on a much less popular console.

I would like to see it renamed, "The State of Halo".

The Xbox One is doing fine sales-wise, but Halo being arguably the Biggest Franchise in Xbox History and The Mascot of the Brand, being outsold by a Collection of Ps3 Remastered Games is...not good, like at all.

There is so much wrong with your posts and its clear this is something you love doing. Maybe your looking at it the wrong way. How about looking at it as Halo 5 is doing pretty well considering the userbase of the console and that its keeping touch with Sonys best ever games they have ever made. The fact that Sony has to throw the game away is a statment to how good Halo really is considering its not a game worth throwing away just yet. Halo is the mascot of Xbox, Halo also increased its veneues by $400m on launch. Its the game gamers buy Xboxs for hence its attach rate is leaps better then NDC. There will be other Halo games to continue to boost the franchise. You cant always sell 10m units.

Stop acting as if Halo is a flop. It has sold over 3.4m units not including digital. The game has already made MS its money back and some.
