So your saying the 360 having more than a 200% install base advantage at the time Halo 4 launched has no effect? lol ok.

As strange as it may sound, kowenicki is actually right. Obviously it has an effect, but the effect is minimal, and not really as big as some people make it out to be. Double or triple the install base doesn't equal double or triple the amount of sales for major exclusives. Most people who are interested in Halo, already own an Xbox One. The lower sales of Halo 5 compared to previous entries in the series has more to do with its popularity than install base.

Halo 3 (September 2007)
First week global sales: 3,811,047
Xbox 360 install base: ~11 million

Halo 4 (October 2015)
First week global sales: 1,535,818
Xbox One install base: ~15 million

Indeed, franchise fatigue is why Halo's sales are dropping. Not installbase.

Doesn't look like Uncharted has peaked yet, but will have to do if it's the last game. Will be interesting to see how Uncharted 4 (first sequel on a next generation platform) stacks up against Halo in its heyday.
