Halo 5 sold 5 million copies in the first 3 months of its launch...It's likely sold well over 6 million by now.

Doesn't VGC not track digital sales or something? XBO gamers buy digital for most games.

According to what? I mean digital sales have increased but to say XBO gamers buy digital for most games is just incorrect physical games are still FAR ahead of digital.

It's a bit of a silly comparison considering

1. Halo's decline as a system seller
2. Halo 5 isn't exactly a mainline Halo game
3. Install Base difference
4. Vgchartz don't seem too accurate in XBO game sales. Why I don't know.

It's a good achievement for UC4, but i doubt Uncharted 4 will ever outsell Halo 3 or 4.

1. It truly has declinded

2. Halo 5 is definitely a mainline Halo game. It is just as yous aid the series has declined.

3. Install base difference while it can be taken in to account doesn't really mean anything look at Halo 3, or Splatoon, or say Mario kart.....all had less of an install base and still sold mor ethan both UC4 and Halo 5 so the install base thng while it matters it is not the end of all.

4. I agree the sales for both UC4 and Halo 5 actually seem to be off in my opinion.

Lastly I agree I do not think itUC4 will outsell Halo 3 but it does have a shot at Halo 4 if the legs are good enough.

While it is a good achievement for UC4 to reach that number; that^^

Esp 3 and 4...

We know as a fact that Xbox One digital numbers are high and they are not taken into consideration and they are way bigger than what VGC is capturing.
Like mentionned multiple time just Bing about it if are still unaware of that :)

Also, it shows again how Sony's exclusives are not selling as much as Microsoft/Nintendo (esp. Nintendo actually) for a comparable user base. The install base is the double and it barely beats it (even with innacurate Xbox One numbers)

Like I said to Foodfather #3 is not really that big of a deal to be honest. And with digital sales I agree they are to be taken into account but it is not like they account for 50%-60% of the sales....

For your last point it can also be said that MS doesn't really have many exclusives that sell that big and that Sony has more exclusives that sell better than MS(see Ryse, Forza and FH, Sunset Overdrive, Dear rising compared to say KZ:SF, Driveclub, Infamous:SS, Bloodborne, Ratchet and Clank) individual game wise. So the games are selling and sellling well just not as much as Nin not so much MS.

They all have games that sell well and some just sell better than others. But UC4 beating Halo 5 before this gen started and heck even after it started....no one would have thought that to be honest. So it is a good sign for the UC series even if Halo is in decline.
