Listing the end of a week could mean that you're talking about totals, yearly, monthly or weekly sales rankings. You didn't link any charts whatsoever and just left it open. Also, it doesn't make sense to use the weekly sales charts because The weekly sales charts don't really show how well software is selling overall or on a consisent basis. I proved by showing how well each of those games sold in this year.

You should of compared Halo MCC to another game with a similar release date or similar situation. Maybe compared it to another halo. You should of did a week by week sales comparison of Halo MCC to TLOU. The order is a new IP and bloodborne is kinda a new IP. 

I stated: According to VCHartz (1st line of post)

              Then went on to list the weeks, and position for those weeks..  I am sorry. It can't be any more clear.. No one said what the weekly charts prove. I did not say what they proved. I stricktly listed the FACTS based on VGChartz. Everything I said was 100% true based on their charts. I did not give it any meaning. Everyone else did. I asked WHAT PEOPLE THOUGHT ABOUT IT.   I wasn't comparing to ANYTHING except what I stated in the post. 

"I am curious what people think about this. I for one thing this is proof that Halo 5 will be huge this holiday.   An 8 month old 2014 RE-MASTER is outselling new properties like Bloodborne and Order:1886..  both 2015 titles..   This while having a smaller console base (almost half as much).  I think its also proof that its not really the PS4 exclusives that are pushing sales, but more the price , more power and headstart (in sales lead, not release date)."

No, you skewed data in a way to better fit your agenda. You made this thread to prove that halo 5 will be huge this holiday and that PS4 exclusives don't really push sales but the price, power and headstart with the sales lead does. The data you listed proves nothing. 

Halo 5 will sell well during holidays because it's a numbered halo and MS tries to push console/game sales with good deals/lots of marketing during the holidays. MS will likely bundle halo 5 to push console sales too.

The PS4 sells well for many reasons includiing it's exclusive games. All someone has to to do to counter your opinion is look at the PS4 total software sales charts and total software sales charts for this gen. PS4 exclusives are selling well. Also, the PS4 is not selling well because it sold well.
