Were millions of Halo 5 bundles sold for $299? I don't think so.

Halo 5 bundles were $399-449. Uncharted was always a massively bundled series and Sony likes to boast about those numbers.

People neglect mass bundling of Uncharted because of the platform its on.

People ignore the mass bundling of Uncharted because there were other bundles, and they chose Uncharted.

Halo 5 lost. It's a downward trend from here. Someone once offered a bet about Uncharted 4 not selling more than Halo 5. I wish I would have taken it, because I'll take it now.

On Black Friday there was only an Uncharted bundle for $299. The Star Wars bundles came later.

If Halo 5 was mass bundled for $299 like Uncharted Collection was, it would probably be at 7 million right now.

I don't disagree Halo is on a decline. Not completely unsual for a long running IP. Even CoD has declined. Every Uncharted is mass bundled games and still didn't hit Halo sales at its prime. So kudos to Halo for being more successful than an Uncharted game could ever be.

It takes mass bundling oof a compilation of their best franchise on a console that sells two times more units than it's competitor to achieve what another game (supposedely a flop) does... what an achievement!
