Unfathomable? No, never was.
The "console war" was already decided two years ago which guaranteed a huge install base advantage for Uncharted 4. Naughty Dog's last game was The Last of Us and Uncharted 3 being also a success. The bad reception of Halo 4.

yeah right...

Errrr... so how do you factor in halo 2 selling 8M+ copies when on a console that had less than 20% of the total console sales of the leading console?

Or Halo 3 selling at least twice as much as every other PS3 exclusive even tho both consoles were neck and neck in global sales?

we can always find ways to excuse why a game doesn't sell as well, or in this case why another game sells better. I think we should just leave it as is, Uncharted did something right, bad reception or not, if halo 5 did all thr right things it would sell as well as it used to. 

The install base advantage for U4 is/was just an advantage, not the decider. If it was vice versa, wouldn't H5 had a better chance? Halo franchise has had amazing attach-ratio in the past and you could say it's an advantage for H5 but to solely rely on that assumption and give the win for H5 is not wise.
