Despite? I don't think the time at retail metric is something that should be brushed aside like that. As you're aware, Halo 5 has been out a year almost to this day while uncharted 4 has been available 5 and a half months. This is coupled with the fact that Master Chief is basically the mascot of Xbox where as PlayStation spreads their focus on franchises out a little bit thinner, as evidenced by their lack of a mascot but greater output of first party titles.

Games have best sales in 1st 6 months of launch, so yes 1.5 year more time is much lesser factor for sale of game than having twice bigger instal base.

Okay so what kind of impact does releasing a game during Christmas vs releasing a game in May have? Or does that not count either.

 

I really wouldn't have expected people to be this defensive about a sales comparison, who gives a fuck. This is the worst selling halo so far, against the best selling uncharted ever with the latter outpacing the former in half the time. It is what it is.
