A lot of people seemingly got burnt out on Halo 4's multiplayer because of all the changes trying to attract the COD audience while forgeting what made Halo, Halo. So i wouldnt put that much confidence on Halo's mp to be THE driving sales factor from now on..


Ok so you're saying Halo 4 sold around 10 million (including digital) from singleplayer alone? Well that makes it even worse for Uncharted.

No matter what happens, 343 has gotten feedback and learned from their 1st major game. I have faith that Halo multiplayer will come back stronger than ever.

Ummm... Where did i say this? I linked to that thread to show you that Halo's mp lasting force is at the lowest it has ever been. Halo 3 one year after release had 1 million concurrently players for a long time...

And the majority of those 10 million (where did you get those digital sales?) were sold within the game's first month, a time where everyone still expected the mp to deliver, hence the high player count on the first weeks and the HUGE drop off as soon as everyone realized the changes that were made.

Im just saying that this time around a lot of people will probaly be more wary to buy Halo 5 based solely on its multiplayer (waiting for reviews and impressions).

And i believe that yes, its possible that 343 learned its lesson from the community (i hope so).

Lastly, Uncharted's mp (2's in particular) had some pretty long legs, IIRC after one year of release it had 50k players, a feat very rarely accomplished by games that mostly rely on its single player to sell.

its gonna be close!



Nah...Halo 5 will probably outsell Uncharted 4 in a matter of months.



Lol, Halo = USA = big sales for anything called Halo

Uncharted will be big, 7M lifetime mini sure but Halo will be at least 9M lifetime



Lifetime? No way.

The poll is even on the MS exclusives side, on THIS SITE! I seriously don't know if that in itself has even happened before, thus, even some of the ridiculous fanboys who generally vote Sony everything found the prediction that terrible, they changed from the norm.

Still pretty close considering though... The comments surely don't reflect the poll to add to my previous point!!

WII U // PC // 3ds XL // VITA

Uhhh...wishful thinking much?



Uncharted already pretty much owns Halo everywhere except North America. Halo 4 may be the lowest selling Halo game in North America since Halo:CE (excluding Halo Wars and ODST). Though with digital sales it's probably gone past Halo 2. So it very much depends on whether Halo 5 can freshen up the series. If not then the install base differential will make it close. I expect Halo 5 to sell at least 5 million in North America, and UC4 won't reach that level. So I think it will be close.

1. You're comparing Halo 4's sales to games that have been in the market 3+ years.

2. Halo 4 has already been announced as the best selling Halo.

3. Its tracking higher than Halo 3 in North America, Europe and Globally in retail

4. You're right, it definitely has already passed Halo 2 and Halo Reach in the US from digital copies added.
