You think uncharted will sell on par with halo? Not likely. It's a new system with 12.3m sold. Even if sony sold an additional 7m consoles during the holiday, and an additional 20m next year, 1 in 4 ps4 owners would have to buy it. UC has never had that kind of attach rate. The highest selling game on ps4 right now is destiny, made by bungie, huge marketing campaign, and best selling new IP ever...and that's only 3.3m 5m is generous. Sony doesn't "make money" on hardware. They are "profitable" on hardware, which is a calculation figuring in one game, an extra controller, and the system etc. And yes, Sony makes money on third and second party as well. My point is that Sony needs install base and games sales. I think it looks very good for them, but you must agree that it's a tough comparison to nintendo. They recently released a new version of 3ds that is going to sell a lot, is overpriced, has a new smash brothers, etc. On top of which, Nintendo usually outperfoms everyone by a lot in holidays. Remember also that Vita isn't doing so hot. Let's pretend vita and wiiU make the same amount of profit and cancel them out. |
Install base dosn't mean nothing God of war 3 sell more then other god of war despite the huge difference in install base and Uncharted is a very leggy games so when ps4 hit 40 millions the game will still selling well weekly.
Uncharted serie is growing with evety release game i would not be surprised if Uncharted 4 will sell as well as Halo even if not it will still selling a lot over 5 millions
PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m
Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m
