I think this is a big part of it. I suspect the same thing would happen to Uncharted if they continued the series later on. A big part of the reason Uncharted is doing so well is because it's the last one so to speak. That makes it a bigger deal then just a normal Uncharted game. |
What does that mean, "normal Uncharted game"?
UC4 just looks like an amazing game and people are interested in it. Fact is no one wants the same games every 2 years like Halo(sales decline with every installment) but Uncharted had a 5 year hiatus and it came back improving on its formula and still looking fresh. People would have UC fatigue too had they made UC4 right after 3, but Sony allowed ND to work on a new IP with TLOU, it brought new ideas to the table and UC4 became a better game for it.
MS could've had the same with Bungie but they blew it. MS should've given them the opportunity to make new IPs and when the time was right, bring back Halo.
Now Halo is a milk cow by a studio that isn't even Bungie, and Halo regressed to an annual franchise now. It's all about MS unable to nurture its studios and IP portfolio, really sad.
