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.

 no one here said it have no impact, what we have said over and over is that the impact is nowhere what you try to imply. 

 

And yes I don't think ps4 being 20, 40 or 100M would deviate much the end sales of uc4 from the 8-10m. but going on your argument it would be 5, 10, 25M sales on those userbase, does it sem logical? so how do you explain that uc1 through 3 haven't increased sales on the same ratio of the userbase.

If you look at current attach rate of game you could easily calculate how much approximately sales of of that game would be with bigger instal base. I gave you concrete example, twice bigger instal base means around twice bigger bigger sales of specific game.

So you saying that sales of U4 would be similar despite if PS4 installed base is 50m or 100m!? Its not about U1 and PS3 its about U4 and PS4 and about Halo 5 and XB1.
