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.

While I understand why you brought up the install base I also don't really go by that....Just because they had twice the install base it did not mean that the game would have sold that much as fast. If that was the case there would be more games with that number but all we have is....UC4, The Last Of Us Remastered, Uncharted collection and more than likely HZD. I mean it was over 3.4 million as of April 30th and has been selling well since then and still is. So it is more than likely there are just about there.

And I am sure there was something that said the game sold like 6 million or so without the bundle and with it it was at almost 9 million. So the bundle is not the only reason the game sold....heck it still makes it into the top 10 today here on VGchartz and that's just the standalone game not including digital or the bundles. So the game might have slowed down but it is still selling on its on pretty well if you ask me. Selling well over 10 million copies even with a nundle is amazing.

And I am not sure why you said 5m sales isn't something to scoff again at when I literally said it in my post lol. Also at Xmas time you could definitely buy a PS4 without UC4......it is just people chose the C4 bundle.....
