Errrr... so how do you factor in halo 2 selling 8M+ copies when on a console that had less than 20% of the total console sales of the leading console?

Or Halo 3 selling at least twice as much as every other PS3 exclusive even tho both consoles were neck and neck in global sales?

we can always find ways to excuse why a game doesn't sell as well, or in this case why another game sells better. I think we should just leave it as is, Uncharted did something right, bad reception or not, if halo 5 did all thr right things it would sell as well as it used to. 

unfathomable, lol

Didn't you have 2 or 3 threads predicting so? Even double the lifetime sales? Sure, I think most disagreed with U4 outselling Halo 5, but plenty others did agree. It wasn't unfathomable. As some of us said all along, the userbase difference alone guaranteed it to happen eventually. Two good AAA shooters, it only makes sense.

Two years back no one cared about that,also Uncharted 4 surpassed by less than half time and without holiday season

Haha screw you Iceland.

Considering several things, like PS4's numbers in contrast to X1's, the mixed messages Halo 5 was sending before releasing (lack of offline co-op, heavily dependance on outside source material to create the story, and a not-so-great marketing campaign regarding Locke, not Chief), the massive momentum Uncharted gained with both the Uncharted Collection and ND's past endeavour (The Last of Us), in contrast to 343i's great but not Bungie great received Halo 4, and several other threads like users suggesting Splatoon beating Halo, and I find it hard to believe the idea was "unfathomable" for most people, and I'm even including some die-hard Halo fans. OP took a page on sensationalist main header from the journalism school, it seems.

That being said, this is certainly not surprising, to me, at least. Halo has gone downhill ever since 3 in my eyes (with Reach being the biggest offender), whereas Uncharted has maintained quality throughout, aside from, ironically here, the third entry. Haven't played Halo 5 yet, but if I had to make a superficial judgment about it, I'm pretty sure it's no better than Uncharted 4.

Considering PS4 has double the amount of units out in the world, I don't know if this is even an accomplishment.

We had a big prediction thread about this if someone can dig it up?

It hasn't even had a holiday season yet...

And meanwhile a new Ip on the tiniest userbase this gen has outsold them both.

Yeah, the way I see this site should always be live by the sword and die by the sword, it's silly to one week have a thread about how great a certain game according to the sales here.. but the next week dismiss them as being nonsense numbers with no basis in reality.

I mean for games like UC4 and Halo 5 most of the figures have probably been adjusted in line with sales figures from other sources by now so they would be within the 5% margin that Brett likes to keep on the numbers here.

OT though - That is a pretty cool feat, I think at the time where Uncharted one launched against Halo 3 there was no real dream that the series would outsell a numbered Halo game, of course the install base of the X1 compared to PS4 makes this happen but still makes me think, is there going to come a time when Halo comes to the PC so that those who installed Vista to play Halo 2 will finally get to finish the fight on their system of choice.

Yah you're right there. it just hasn't been the same since.
