I don't get that. Uncharted definitely has sold well. I'm not sure if it sold to YOUR standards in comparison to Halo, but it certainly sold well. Now you're talking about Halo as a series in comparison to Uncharted as a series. We are only talking about Halo 5 sales vs Uncharted 4. Everyone already knows Halo as a series has sold extremely well and Uncharted as a series isn't close to Halo's numbers.

Uncharted numbers are not so great if you consider that the attach rate is about 10% for almost every single installment. Where's the support for one of PlayStation's best exclusives?

Attach rate does not equal to the sales not being great. Again averaging like 6-7 mil per game is VERY good.  So it is getting support and good support at that.

I think UC4 is the best game on PS4 right now close tie would be bloodborne for me but I think Gears 4, KI with the release of season 3 and FH3 on XB1 are all better games than Halo 5 lol.

I guess that I'm biased, Halo is my favorite ms franchise

And I am a Gears guy lol

Halo 5 sold 5 million copies in the first 3 months of its launch...It's likely sold well over 6 million by now.

Doesn't VGC not track digital sales or something? XBO gamers buy digital for most games.

 You say that as if PS4 doesnt sell a shit ton of digital copies as well. There could be a higher digital attach rate on XB1, but the difference would be extremely small, like maybe by 2-3%. Point is, Uncharted 4 outsold Halo 5. 

What?  Idc about PS4, I was not even considering it in my post.   Read the thread,  Uncharted 4 has higher sales on VGChartz, not in the real world.  Halo's been over 5 million sold for 9 months.

Well, that puts both systems to a shame. Both games won't beat Mario Kart in terms of sales and attach rate.

/thread

To be fair, that is a Nintendo title, and we all know Nintendo platforms and games do not follow the same paths MicroSony games do. It's a pretty weak comparison, not that an exception or two to the rule changes the rule, anyway. Far and away the main reason Uncharted 4 will sell more than Halo 5 is the userbase difference, that's just good old common sense. There are other reasons, like competition, franchise fatigue, lack of faith in 343, but the userbase difference is by far #1 and really makes the other reasons pretty irrelevant.

halo dev said it sold over 5 mil in as of January 2016. vgchartz wayyy off

That was shipped to retailers and included digital sales. VGC is sold to consumers and no digital sales.

Right now splatoon has sold more than these two games right?

The 5 millions talk again, this Isn't official numbers andwe don't even know if it is sold.

The only official numbers that we had is that Uncharted 4 sold 2.7 Millions(without Bundle, but with Digital) in the week of launch. We don't know nothing beyond that.

Microsoft would have using that 5 millions since the beggining of the year as a "Best selling exclusive of the generation" This is much better than marketing Mau

If Halo had sold 5+ millions in 3 months, we would know. There is simple no way that Halo didn't sold 70%+ of total sales on USA as usual. 3.5 Millions on NPD would chart more than it did

Halo 5 didn't had a lot of hours played on launch, 20 Millions in 3 days for something that sold millions at launch ?

good for drake in a vgc numbers bubble,would rather see official numbers these days for s/ware

how much did halo sell on the orginal xbox,must be about the same install base
