How many has Halo 5 sold digitally versus Uncharted 4?

I don't have that number.  Which is why responded with those points earlier.

Wait? So...you think, that if you make a claim, it's the responsibility of others to disprove it? That's not how that works.

Hey, 75% of Uncharted 4 sales were digital. Have any evidence to suggest otherwise? No? Cool.

No I do not.  My 2nd post on this thread shows me doing the exact opposite of what you're personifying.

That is what you don't understand. We aren't believing that 5M is sold to customers. And we already got aquamarine (who have access to numbers) that digital ratio is 25-30% not 50%.

So no, I don't think there is any data that can determine Halo 5 had more digital sales than UC4 to any significant degree (and beware that VGC count bundle sales no matter if digital or physical the same way).

Your point is totally hold on your own opinion or other people wishes... we already had doze threads on this subject close to Halo5 release when people were trying to cover for less than expected sales.

And I would appreciate if you watch your tone and keep the forum civil.

Ah, I was under the impression otherwise.  So really the only help to the argument would be time since release (with a greater number of digital code sales since then).  That makes things a lot clearer.

Sure, but let's not forget you extended the discourteous behavior first.  I'm not afraid to push back.

Well, it could or could not have sold more than UC4 digitally, we don't have any numbers to prove or disprove. We know the ratio for Halo 5 was 25-30% at that time (could be higher or lower now) and we have no info for UC4 so who knows.

I don't remember being rude or anything to you, but if I were sorry.

Lol I honestly didn't expect this much downplay in this thread. Got users saying Halo 5 isnt a mainline Halo game. Smh

Wait what? you are kidding right?

No, and it was funny, and as you saw the reasoning after it get even better.

Pleanty of threads, plenty of people dismiss Halo 5 as a mainline Halo game. It doesn't even continue the story of Halo 4. Its a bit like Alien 3. Will be forgotten about / ignored in a few years. Why else was there such an uproar when Chief wasn't even playable for more than 1/4 of the game. 

Next time a Halo game is released with no subtitle and only chief on the cover, we'll compare sales...

By your reasoning i guess that means MGS2 wasn"t a mainline MGS game. But since it outsold MGS1 I guess that's why no one complained.

Also, this must also mean GoW4 isn't a mainline gears game being that the lead character has changed. Guess if it doesn't sell as well as gears 3 that's what everyone will say.

Oh, and Infamous sevond son wasn't a Mainline infamous (again the lead character changed).

Let's not forget the upcoming Mass Effect, I'm pretty sure the lead character isn't going to be Shepard. 

Because a lot of people say something, doesn't mean it's still not stupid. 

You also forgot that Final Fantasy have never had a main line game. Or all those games where you change the name of the protagonist.

I really don't see that like some pig achievement, despite Halo 5 was released 1.5 year earlier, PS4 has twice bigger instal base than XB1.

Just when I though we already have moved from this. If WiiU reached 100M, would Splatoon have 50M sales?

 

And just to finish what imagedvd was saying... yes, having a bigger userbase can lead to more potential buyers, but when looking at trends and it shows the title being unpervious to userbase (very little flunctuation between userbase size and sw sales) it mute your argument as the main reason being userbase.
