Really? The users who mentioned Halo or xbox first were the ones who derailed it. 

WE DONT NEED YOUR PERMISSION TO MAKE COMPARISONS BETWEEN TWO TITLES.

Do I need express written permission to look a two games and say 'Oh wow, this is the top selling exclusive because it outsold this one'?

Chill out.  Its not an attack on Halo or Xbox.  Its just a valid comparison. You don't have to feel bad that Halo 5 was outsold by Uncharted 4 either.  its not that damn deep.

It hasnt outsold Halo 5, Halo 5 sits on 4m sold and thats not including digital sales and its still selling and being bundled while UC4 has sold 190k in the UK..

Maybe wait until UC4 gets numbers before making claims. UC4 might have horrible legs, no one knows yet. I would wait 6 months before making claims. Also remember UC4 would have a bigger launch since its on a platform with more then double the customers so the adds and marketing will always help it boost early sales.

You guys are really overly sensitive.

The point of one prediction thread, if I remember it correctly is that Halo 5 could do 7-8+million before 2016 and they used Halo 3 with a smaller base as 'evidence' for their absurd claim.  A lot of people know Halo didn't have the same pull as years ago, but we entertained this idea.  NOW, to hear folks saying "but look the base is smaller than h4" is truly amazing.  And those claims were made here on VGC... and regardless of every signal pointing to the decline of Halo, that agenda (while completly false) was allowed its day.

Don't you just love it when something doesn't work your way and so you attack an entire community.   How very small and unattractive. 

You cannot call people oversensitive, when they are simply offering counterpoints and reasons to specific arguments. That's not cool.

They have come to derail the thread and play the victim.  

Not today!  LOL.  Today we congragulate ND whether they want us to or not. 

You can't say people have come to derail and play the victim, when you yourself are actively goading people with your remarks. Calling people oversensitive for replying to a general discussion, while bringing up old (now irrelevant) predictions and poking fun at people isn't going to go down very well.

Seriously, don't be a hypocrite.

Causing trouble and trying to piss off a bunch of people? Like I said earlier, not cool. It's baiting. Stop trying to rub peoples noses in it. It's all fine and fair to compare games, but do not attack people when they offer you very reasonable counter points.

This goes for everyone. Feel free to discuss sales data. Compare games and platforms to your hearts content. Do not take it so far that it's baiting other users, especially when they are adding things to what was a reasonable discussion.

Largely irrelevant.  We have done this to death.  Install bases and major exclusive release dates make little difference.

 

So your saying the 360 having more than a 200% install base advantage at the time Halo 4 launched has no effect? lol ok.

As strange as it may sound, kowenicki is actually right. Obviously it has an effect, but the effect is minimal, and not really as big as some people make it out to be. Double or triple the install base doesn't equal double or triple the amount of sales for major exclusives. Most people who are interested in Halo, already own an Xbox One. The lower sales of Halo 5 compared to previous entries in the series has more to do with its popularity than install base.

Halo 3 (September 2007)
First week global sales: 
3,811,047
Xbox 360 install base: ~11 million

Halo 4 (October 2015)
First week global sales: 1,535,818
Xbox One install base: ~15 million

Indeed, franchise fatigue is why Halo's sales are dropping. Not installbase.

Doesn't look like Uncharted has peaked yet, but will have to do if it's the last game. Will be interesting to see how Uncharted 4 (first sequel on a next generation platform) stacks up against Halo in its heyday.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

We are on a sales site.  Comparing games on rival consoles is normal.  Not sure why it's such a sensitive issue all of a sudden. 

 

OT: (not in reply to you) 

So uncharted 4 sells 192k. If we assume 20% digital sales then that's an opening of 230k. 

 

That's an almighty increase over uncharted 3. Honestly I think the last of us has to take some of this credit.  

Halo 3 was a beast. 94 Meta with over 12m sold. Something not done regularly.

Yeah and those days are long gone for Halo in terms of its meta and it's sales.  

 

Hopefully it can return to its glory days but I can't see it happening.  In fairness bungie are gone and that's probably why.

It hasnt outsold Halo 5, Halo 5 sits on 4m sold and thats not including digital sales and its still selling and being bundled while UC4 has sold 190k in the UK..

Maybe wait until UC4 gets numbers before making claims. UC4 might have horrible legs, no one knows yet. I would wait 6 months before making claims. Also remember UC4 would have a bigger launch since its on a platform with more then double the customers so the adds and marketing will always help it boost early sales.

Meh the uncharted collection sold more than Halo 5 so far.  I'm pretty sure uncharted 4 will outsell the collection.  

 

@doom split 

That's actually are really good and surprising victory for the ps4. Never thought doom would be so Playstation focused.

Would be pretty sad if a New game don't outsell his own Remaster.

And about the Comment "Halo 5 sits on 4m sold and thats not including digital sales and its still selling and being bundled while UC4 has sold 190k in the UK.." Halo 5 have a bundle sitting in the Oblivion because Microsoft wanted it to be the most expensive Bundle 450-500US$ if i remember well, while the console is being sold for 300-350US$ with a lot of games, and the game is selling after release just like any other game but i doubt Halo 5 will surpass Uncharted 2 or 3's sales, while Uncharted 4 might surpass  Uncharted 3, this already is a 66% Growth over the last game.



This is without the 95% digital sales too!!
