 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.  

 Funny how they announced that Halo 5 5 million sales point several months after it supposedly happened. That number included digital.

Why are people suddenly so quick to say "b-b-but VGChatz numbuhs iz wrung!", and yet they clearly have been on these forums for years?

Xbots these days try to come up with anything to makeHalo look good. Uncharted outsold Halo before it even came out.

And meanwhile a new Ip on the tiniest userbase this gen has outsold them both.

It should with the lack of third party support, Halo & Uncharted have actual competition.

Uncharted 4 is way ahead launch aligned. 

Yeah it will eventually surpass it, but the fact that is still above both being totally new on such a tiny userbase is really an impressive achievement, imagine if the userbase was big.

Of course, does not have the competition of other games on your platform all Wii U has is 1st party games.

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

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.

Of course this doesn't mean anything as Nintendo is hardly comparable with Sony and Nintendo. Hynad was just trying to prove me wrong with using Nintendo which is funny

You both are so predictable.  I could have used Halo 3, and many other games.

Now we dismiss a new IP that a lot of people here expected to sell on par with Wonder101 or at least not cross 1M, but since it got to 5M as simply being a Nintendo IP so it will sell high to keep using the excuse of low userbase, and they will also ignore that Halo 3 sold a lot more than Halo 5 on a smaller userbase. So userbase shouldn't even be an excuse.

The simple truth is that Halo is losing strength and Uncharted have only been gaining strength so far, and if they keep their word on this being the last title it will probably be the last and the peek of sales and on a smaller userbase than UC3.
