Didnt Halo 5 and UC4 sit on rougly the same amount of sales at 4m until Sony heavily bundled the crap out of the game on just about every bundle available for the Xmas period. While Halo 5 being one of the least favorite in the franchise still manage to sell 5m to date. That to me says enough.

Wait I thought UC4 sold faster and better even before that? Like it was at almost 9 million as of December but all of that did not come from bundles because there was a break down that showed the sales. Or am I mistaken? And to be fair the person you quoted said more popular than Sony and Nintendo combined and you said yeah it is called Halo which was false. Though I do agree Halo while not as big as it was before is still very popular. Selling 5million is NOTHING to scoff at.

UC4 slowed down heavily on sales after it hit the 4m mark just like Halo 5 did. UC4 did sell alittle faster to get there however what do you expect on a platform with twice the audience and market.

At Xmas time you couldnt buy a PS4 without UC4 included in the bundle (atleast where i am from) the game sales fluffed up due to the PS4 selling extremly well and UC4 was basically a free game for every owner. Hence how it all of a sudden doubled its sales from 4m to 8m+ very quickly.

5m sales isnt something to scoff at... name me all the 1st party PS4 exclusive games that have surpassed 5m in total sales. Dont worry ill wait for your response.

5m+ and probably more is pretty good on a system with 20m sold thought out at the time. Thats a similar attach rate to 9m with 60m consoles sold.

If MS wanted to, they could have bundled Halo 5 with every Xbox sold and it would most likely be sitting on 8m+ aswell. Instead it was only offered as the more expensive bundle and a digital code to boot.
