Halo has always been pretty huge out of the gate. Uncharted is big as well but not as big. Uncharted is also a heavily bundled game and hasnt sold on the same level as Halo either.

The key will be XBO vs PS4 as PS4 is more popular.  Will the hype of PS4 translate into making Uncharted bigger? But Halo and Masterchief is one of the most recognizable brands in gaming, so more hardware may not matter considering Halo as a whole is much more well known considering Halo 3, Halo Reach, and Halo 4 all sold 10m+

I made a comment earlier in the thread. Uncharted is a series that is growing in popularity. It's easily Sony's biggest franchise right now. And, just as circumstancial evidence, two new IPs opened up extremely well for Playstation. TLOU opened to 1.3M FW on PS3. And that was a new IP. That shows how much influence Naughty Dog has. Destiny sold 2.1M FW on PS4. Also a new IP. That shows how well Sony pushed/advertised/hyped that game. Now, combine the two: caliber of ND + heavy marketing push. And not for a new IP. It's for a game in a series that fans now know has only gotten better with each release, and have no reason to think it'll get worse (as ND keeps releasing top quality games, one after another), whereas Halo is starting to go downhill (Halo 4 + MCC probably left a sour taste in peoples' mouths)

BMaker, my man. You nailed it :)

Meh. No biggie here. Both are established popular franchises with many million selling entries. The PS4 is dominating the market so Uncharted has the install base advantage. It was only impressive when Splatoon did it.

Meh. You're late to the party. No reason to act smart now.
