1. Yes. I explicitly said that it was selling faster because it hasn't been on sale as long. Which means that it's sales lead will only grow in the coming months because it has managed to sell more retail copies than Halo 5 in less than half the time.

 

2. I don't understand what you mean by "its been at 4m for the past couple of months"

 

3. Halo 5 was the best selling game digitally on the Xbox One first week at the time. which is great, but we don't really know what that means long term.

4. So essentially what you're saying is that until you are given 100% concrete proof that Uncharted 4 has outsold Halo 5. You're going to just assume Halo 5 has sold better?

5. Critically Halo 4 doesn't measure up to the other mainline Halo games, and with 5 sales seem to be reflecting the dip in quality since 343 took over the franchise.

1- What do you expect?  UC4 has twice the User base and the game is still fresh on the market for new PS4 owners. It’s going to outsell Halo 5 because Halo 5 is a year old.  UC4 is also going to be bundled so expect a lot of giveaway sales. *If Halo 5 was on the PS4 than it would be selling a lot better than the XB1 version which means it will be outselling UC4 on the PS4*

 2- They announced Halo 5 sold over 4m a while ago, Digital sales included would lead to a much bigger number now. I highly doubt its sitting on 4.2m. Especially since it has been a top selling Digital game for Xbox. *You want to know why I stress this point. Because I brought Halo 5 Digital and so have all my hard-core Halo friends. Every one I know in Australia brought this game digitally* in saying that I am not saying it didn’t sell physically well. However unlike the 360 days where we all went out and brought the game on Disc, this gen most of us changed and went digital. To not include Digital sales is excluding a lot of the Halo faithful who actually brought this game. Now I am only assuming numbers here but I can bet you Halo 5 has sold well on the Digital front and I am not talking about 50k increase either. Possibly half a million+ sounds about right if we take in 343 statement.

 3- That should say a lot about my previous statement. *Did UC4 top its digital sales count? How did that sell digitally? I’m curious*

 4- So we all want to assume that UC4 outsold Halo 5 based off VG Numbers and excluding digital sales where one game seems to have done well in? Ok but that’s twisting then rules just to gain a small victory that isn’t even official. We can guarantee Halo 5 isn’t sitting on 4.2m, we know it’s a lot more. For all we know it could be sitting on 4.9m.

5- Sooooo Halo has been on the decline since 343? You do know that Halo 4 is made by 343 correct? That Halo 4 sits as the 3rd bestselling Halo game of all time just under Reach by less than 20k? How is that in decline when 343 have only made 2 mainline Halo games where 1 is a huge success and the other is just a success? Halo 5 will most likely end up out outselling Halo 1.. I don’t understand this decline statement. I’ll give Halo 5 the benefit of the doubt since its decline on sales is more to do with the platform it’s sold on. No one will argue that Halo 5 would have sold better on the PS4, so that tells a lot. Halo 5 practically carried the XB1, not many games can do that. Its attach rate is up there with the best this gen. Also 343 Halo games have made a lot more money so I am sure MS don’t care about how many discs they sold, they will be looking at their bank accounts and seeing blockbuster results. Physically sales don’t determine a games success over the other. I always love these statments when gamers assumed something is in decline. Halo 5 made a small fortune for MS and Halo 6 will be no different.

Why would a game that sold officially more than 2.7 millions first week won't be able to surpass a game that did 4-5 millions of Shipped/who knows what it is in the best sales season of the year ?

As far as we know Uncharted 4 is outselling Halo 5  weekly and it is probably outselling it Digitally.

I don't remember if Uncharted 4 was the best selling digital game of the month for the Playstation 4.  But if it  was indeed the best selling,  it outsold Overwatch and Doom's digital sales. And that is a great feat.

 

i Checked, and it indeed was the best selling digital game of May. That alone isn't enough proof of High Digital Attachment for Uncharted 4 ?
