Halo 3 sold more than Halo 2, which sold more than Halo 1.

The franchise audience doubled between Halo 1 and Halo 3. Why would it make no sense for Uncharted's audience to grow?

People tend to stick with 1 system in a generation. The likes of us on this forum are the exception, not the norm. The generation transition is going to be the point where games like Uncharted and Halo either sink or swim. It's a very dangerous time for any game franchise, however I think Uncharted is going into this generation as a game lots of people were interested in, but never had access to while I see Halo being a franchise currently in decline, which will be compounded by no longer being on the dominant "HD" format.


I just think the whole "people who didnt own a PS3 will buy it on the PS4" argument is a bit silly. Why cant that apply to the XB1 and WiiU?

because they dont sell that well and yes its silly and didnt Wii owners buy tablets and smartphones for gaming instead of a PS4..its all BS.

It can,

However the market from Xbox to Xbox 360 greatly increased (which helpd the Halo audience grow)

The market from Xbox 360 to Xbox One appears to be shrinking.

The Wii U currently has the lowest audience of any Nintendo system since the GameCube and there's not really any evidence of migration from either the 360 or PS3. So comparing with historic sales of previous Zelda games, there's currently no reason to think it would sell better than Ocarina of Time did. This is all just my opinion don't forget. I'm allowed to be wrong :p

Metacritic:

1. Uncharted if this the last one then you can bet everybody at ND will go balls out like they going commando
2. Zelda another franchise that averages between 93-96 on metacritic the highest rated was Ocarina of Time(99) but with reviewers these days the troll reviewers they will prevent that from happening.
3. Halo 343i have made the lowest rated Halo games so i am not expecting much from them.

Sales.
1. Halo launch events for this will be pretty big garnering a lot of interest not to mention unprecedented advertising now the gap between the PS4 continues to get larger and at one point maybe X1 will be 6-7 million behind but I think HALO will ace it out by its namesake and legacy alone..
2. Uncharted ND games usually sell the best selling ones being the crash games.
3. Zelda well be within range of Uncharted sales that's for sure.

Well theres no real evidence that people are migrating from the 360 and Wii to the PS4 either though. You can guess based on certain things, but its not proof.

I know its all opinion, just nice to have a decent conversation once in a while

Sales: Halo > Uncharted > Zelda

Scores: Zelda = Uncharted >> Halo

I think Halo 5 will get an 85-90 metascore, where Uncharted and Zelda will likely be above 95.....again. In terms of sales Halo 5 is pretty much guarenteed 8 million, Uncharted is likely 6 million, and Zelda is at least 4 million (but will vary depending on reception).

Uncharted will be the highest rated, then Zelda, then Halo. Sales I think will be in same order.

Sony themselves stated they believe 50% of PS4 owners didn't have a PS3. So they would be migrating from somewhere :) Could all be b/s to justify the remasters but, it's a strange thing to decide to make up.

IMO if Uncharted ever had a crack at breaking the 10m mark, it's with Uncharted 4.

There's a lot of variables right now though. There could be price drops severely impacting the userbases of any of the systems, one system may have an absolutely monster holiday period out of nowhere and one or all of the games may actually turn out to be utter rubbish which would also impact the end figures from a sales front. Of course part of this thread is also predicting which of them will be the highest rated which makes it very interesting.
