Thank Jack Nicholson for that. I don't know how they did it, neither I want to know.

PS4 is looking the best of this gen so far, but I think it's too early to really say anything.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Don't be so quick to judge, one really big exclusive can change the situation in the US completely.

Its irrelevant because I never said Halo sells the Same as Zelda.

I said Halo has sold the same overall as Zelda. Check the data if you don't beleive me, thats what is there for.

Its common sense that it has had to outsell it consitently to make up the extra time Zelda had.

Well wasn't that the original context, what is the bigger franchise in recent times?

Either way looks like we can agree that Halo is bigger than Zelda nowadays, Zelda obviously has more sales and history though.

Anyways this is getting offtopic-ish.

And if sony keeps dominating then there is a "small change" microsoft might sell xbox brand. As they are much profit oriented. Or they might merge consoles with PC with new steam like service and steam like boxes.

As long as xbox brand is profitable i don't see why they should sold it,being outselling by ps4 dosn't mean X1 is not profitable at all

I didnt said it was loss making division. But its not part of their core business. Microsoft should have become steam. I bet they regret that. But churning out profit from console sales it very difficult in modern times. So they may (very very slim change) sell or integrate xbox with PC (small change) business.

Then there is no reason to sold xbox brand

PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

It's too early to say that the PS4 has won US. I believe it can stay way ahead of the Xbox One, but like I've said several times... it's too early to tell. Regarding Halo 5 and Uncharted 4 sales? Halo is one of Microsoft's biggest franchises, but anything can happen there. With PS4 increasing marketshare and the status of Halo in the industry, we'll have to wait and see.

Why cherrypick?

NOt cherry picking. Halo sells more than Zelda on a singular console, it is as simple as that. And if Zelda was as big as Halo then technically that should have made it sell more than the original XBOX. Or we can compare Twilight princess, Wind Waker HD, and Skyward Sword to recent halo. Halo just seems to be bigger now, and that is all there is to it

Obviously there is not a game as big as Mario. Mario is basically the mascot of gaming. Never argued that but i appreciate you calling me a cherrypicker without using any kind of common sense to see what i was saying in the first place

Not sure how making arbitrary qualifications is relevant.

Everytime someone says Halo for Xbox, I think Mario for Nintendo, but that isn't even symmetric. Halo is more like Xbox's Zelda. They don't have a Mario.

WW LTD

Zelda = 75 mill, Halo = 53 mill, Mario = 529 mill

Globally in the US

Zelda = 39 mill, Halo = 40 mill, Mario = 267 mill

Conclusion: Halo =/= Mario, Halo == Zelda

QED

Best selling zelda sold less then 8 millions best selling halo sold 13 millions

PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise

Well i think this holidays will be decisive!
PS4 dominated this year till now and probably will till October, let's see if X1 can give it a fight this Christmas, if the gap only gets wider in January this means that PS4 will easily dominate US..
