I  don't think that Userbase is a problem for a Franchise,  new franchises will sell much more with a bigger user base but if a franchise already is huge like Halo, people would purchase a Xbox One to play the game.

Uncharted have 3 Main games + 1 Vita Spin Off + 1 Remaster and sold 28-29 Millions according to Sony if we take the Spin-off away (because it don't sold the same as the other games) We will have a Average per game bigger than 6.5 Millions for Uncharted's franchise this is a very solid Franchise, Halo games did 5+ Millions and on the Xbox 360 Era 10+ Millions, but now it is selling less. Even if Uncharted 4 made the same numbers of Uncharted 3 would already surpass Halo 5 in Sales, Halo is the one who damaged itself, Uncharted franchise only stayed consistent and selling each time more than the previous entry

Uncharted doesn't come out every year so its a game thats been on wish lists for a very long time. If Uncharted came out yearly it would also suffer a similar decline like Halo. If you want to do a fair comparison then compare title to title.  Halo 1 vs Uncharted 1 to Uncharted 4 vs Halo 4. There's your true winner in sales.

 

No damage has been to the Franchise because Halo 5 still sells well and has only increased Halos value. Selling 4m and possibly 5m including Digital is far from a damaged Franchise. 

Halo 5 damaged itself because the last games sold more, Halo have Several Spin-offs but not much main-line games the franchise is 5-6 years older than Uncharted and only have 1 Main Entry more than Uncharted.

I Don't think that Spin-offs damaged Halo 5's sales i think that is because the game is not developed by Halo's creators.
