Well considering Halo 4 sold 9.7 million, and Uncharted 3 sold 6.8 million, that is a gap of 3 million.

Now let's say Halo 5 sells 20% less than halo 4 lifetime, Halo 5 would still sell 7.1 million copies. Now Uncharted 3 sold 6.8 million on PS3 with a install base of 85 million.

Considering the PS4 is at 50% where the PS3 is Uncharted 4 can only hope to reach the 6 million units but not 7 million. Therefore I see Halo 5 selling at least 1 million copies more than uncharted 4.


Halo hasn't lost any fans and I think PlayStation fans are getting ahead of themselves thinking uncharted 4 could even outsell HALO 5.

The only Halo game that Uncharted 4 could probably outsell is halo wars 2.

I love how you only take into count PS4's userbase compared to PS3 but not with X1/360 lmao your logic is hilarious. Also, Halo 4 doubled what Halo 5 did in its first year (or months) according to VGC with less weeks, that's not 20% less. I also doubt it will have legs H3 level.

Well, lets be practical:
Uncharted will have the biggest opening month of any exclusive so far this gen.
The PS4 simply has too much of a base advantage to not carry Uncharted to victory
The game is the most accomplished console game on a tech level. Of all time - literally.
Uncharted is the highest rated exclusive this gen.
Everything Naughty Dog touches turns to gold.

There is no reason to belive that Halo 5 can top Uncharted in sales.  There is a parellel universe where the Xbox One is the top console and Halo 5 outsells Uncharted 4, but we don't live in that universe.

Ehh it was... there was a prediction thread that also included zelda and most people thought halo would sell more regardless of the userbase

That's just kind of sad. Like, not even as an insult to anybody who thought that, but even as a former Halo fan it was clear which was taking the crown this go around. TLoU smashed all previous trends sales-wise in terms of Sony exclusives and opened up a new gate for exclusive sales on PlayStation. Now the only question is if the wildcard Zelda NX can pull off the upset and combine with Zelda U to edge out Uncharted. 

has it occurred to anyone that the reason Nintendo (made) games sell so well on Nintendo platforms over the last 2gens and with the upcoming NX is simply because; well......

There aren't that many options?

Say I buy an NX, and in a whole year all I really have to choose from as far as AAA games go are Mario something and Zelda NX.... then of course that's what I'll buy. I hary have a choice. 

I could be mistaken, but can someone tell me when last up to 5 AAA games were released in the same year for a Nintendo console?

Well retail,, I think a lot more people bought halo 5 digitally than you think. But it would be unthinkable..? I don't think anyone doubted it was possible considering the sales of PS4

The Master Chief Collection and Halo 5 have both been outsold by the Uncharted Collection. The last month the Uncharted Collection has been in the top 20, whereas Halo 5 has been struggling to stay in the top 40. 

I still see Halo 5 outselling the Uncharted Collection and Uncharted 4 (lifetime).

How the fuck does Halo 5 get to 7.1 million at this point.  Thats not a sound prediction.

I bet that Uncharted comes close to outselling Halo 5 to date  (3.8 million) in 1 month.  Just one month.  Plus or minus 10% and you can have my account sig for one month. 

OP asks about lifetime sales but its a gotcha thread because everyone (and I do mean everyone) knows that Uncharted will murder Halo.

Well I thought Halo could do it before it was released. But Xbox fans had to go and disappoint me again.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

If you're talking just exclusives, it's actually not too uncommon, unless by AAA you mean insanely bloated budget. Even 2016 has five or six big 3DS games and 2015 had four big Wii U exclusives. Actually when I look at it now, the last three years have been fairly kind to Wii U owners in terms of exclusives. 

 

If you mean AAA as in very high bloated budgets and not simply high-caliber releases, the Wii U might have had like three of those total. 

 

That's not to say you don't have a point. Clearly a good amount of the reason Nintendo games sell is because this gen that's all the system has had. Well, not counting the 3DS. Really, your argument solely applies only specifically to big third party games coming multiplat to Nintendo home consoles. But Nintendo owners generally double down on another console specifically because they WANT the Nintendo games, so you can't really just chalk it up to there not being other games to buy. 



You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt!  I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading.  After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!

The better question would be whether UC4 outsells Halo 5 LTD in the first week.
