CosmicSex said: Yes its the userbase. Please direct your attention to Black Ops 3 sales. Userbase matters. In order for an Xbox One game to compete with a PS4 game, it will need sky high attach rates. |
So, despite all of the counter examples which demonstrate that in the past, the Halo series in particular has essentially been "userbase" proof, with previous numbered titles all selling at much higher rates often times with lower install bases, along with other games like Splatoon which has sold more than Halo 5 with an install base of 12 million, you're still going to chalk up the relatively poor sales of Halo 5 to install base?
And really? Black Ops 3 might not be the best example to use for install base considering that Black Ops 3 on PS4 and an install base of 36 million is currently outpacing the sales of Black Ops 2 on PS3 which at the time had an install base of about 75 million. So there's that.
