Nice, but the $400m figure is sales revenue, not profit. A little research indeed.

But your entire point is mute because whether you're looking at it from a sales or profit perspective PlayStation is absolutely killing it.

$1.1 Billion Operating Profit for last fiscal year, and a forecast of $1.6 Billion for this fiscal year. You can try and downplay sales all you want but your tactic of shifting to profits will do absolutely nothing when PlayStation's profits are soaring.

That was my point, sales revenue, profit what ever we want to call it. Its all a good thing especially $400m.

No shifty tactics needed. So the entire PS brand profited $1.1b and Halo 5 alone did $400m revenue? That was probably a poor example.  

Point is a game can sell 2m units and earn less to a game that sold 1m. That's my point. 

The $400m figure includes revenue from bundled hardware, so with your claim that uncharted 4 and Horizon only sold because of bundles... Well there revenue will be far in excess of that figure then, so by your chosen metric of success they both outperformed halo 5, not the outcome you're hoping for so better find something else to switch to.

You seem to have a severe lack of understanding of your trying to suggest the $400m halo revenue paints the $1.1b PlayStation operating profit in a bad light.

Your point that a game can make more profit and sell less is valid, your insistence that uncharted 4 and Horizon didn't  profit well, or as well as another title is laughable and not backed up by anything.
