No, totally logical. I talk about facts not about if same game or franchaise have stable sale. Like I wrote: game will sell better on bigger instal base than on smaller, clear fact. Imagine that PS4 has instal base of around 20m, logical assumption (and following current attachment rate for that specific game) would be that U4 would sell around 2m instead of 4m on 40m instal base. There is nothing illogical here.

I already wrote that comparing sales of two games on two platforms where one platform have twice bigger instal base than other doesn't make any sense.

There is no logic in assume ps4 userbase were half uc4 would also be half or that x1 sale Doubling would lead to double sales.

Would splatoon sell 50M if released on Wii? would halo 5 sell 20M if released on x360?

 

Still waiting a proof of this logic of yours.

I appreciate that.  I shouldn't have gotten nasty either.

No problem.

Lol, who said anuthing about growth of next platform or next game compared to previous!?

I talking about curent platform and curent game. U4 on PS4 curently has attach rate of around 9% on instal base of around 45m, we can assume that will be similar attach rate for U4 even when PS4 has sales of around 80m, same goes for Halo 5 attach rate on XB1 instal base.

Why can we assume that? you are still making this claim with no proof or root in reality. 

Yes actually totally have sense, especially if you look attach rate.

You missing point, it not about point how much would Splatoon would sell on Wii (totaly difrent platform and time), or Halo 5 on Xbox 360, but for instance how much Splatoon would sell on twice bigger Wii U install base, obvious and more logical answer would be around twice better. If instal base of Wii U is twice lower, sales for games would be around twice lower, including Splatoon. For instance I were pay attention on sales of MK8, attach rate of MK8 on Wii U was constantly around 50-60% (you basically had on 1m Wii U sold consoles around 500-600k sold copies of MK8), that basically proves that my point, higher instal base higher sales for game.

Onother example that proves my point, look at sales of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, on PS3 /Xbox360 and on PS4/XB1. You will see that sales of that game are identical on PS3 and Xbox360, but that game is sold twice better on PS4 than on XB1. Why do you think is like that!? Beacuse of instal base offcourse, PS3 and Xbox360 have identical instal base and sales of that game are identical, while PS4 has twice bigger instal base than XB1 and that directly effecting on sold copies, because its logical that same game will sale better on bigger instal base than on lower.

You basically saying that instal base does not effect on sales of games!? You trying to say that U4 sales would be same on PS4 if instal base were 30m, 20m or 10m, instead of 45m!? Will U4 continue to sell, offcourse, beacuse more people will buy console and some of them will buy U4, basicly higher instal base wil affect on higher sales of game, and if we look curent attach rate around 10% of new owners will buy U4.
