You actually denieing that Halo is a bigger franchise than PS franchises? Honestly think about it for a minute. No goal post moving. Halo earns a crap ton more than anything on PS.


 

Micorsoft bought halo past the conceptual phase and they bought gears. What happens when you run out of ips to buy from other people. Your internal deficiency is exposed. Sony can create hot new ips because they raise their studios to make big budget games.

What else should you base that on? Would you consider Tetris as a bigger franchise than GTA just because it sold more games overall? Would you say Duck Hunt is a bigger franchise than Horizon: Zero Dawn just because it sold 30 million decades ago? Would you say Nintendogs is a behemoth of a franchise nowadays?

Franchises can lose popularity and that can happen quite fast. Tamagotchi sold a friggin ton of hardware and software in the 90s, but today it's not a big franchise. A somewhat similar effect can be seen with Halo where the fifth entry of the series sold considerably less than its predecessros thus strongly indicating the franchise has shrunk. 

I am actually saying the oppisite. Just because Halo 5 sold less than Uncharted 4 doesnt mean UC4 is a bigger franchise. Bigger means alot of things and 1 thing Halo is bigger on is its networth and profit earnings. IT IS A BIGGER FRANCHISE. haha

But lets fac it, its not bigger then Mario or Pokemon now is it?



Halo is quite a big franchise and so is gears, but i doubt either are bigger then Mario or Pokemo.

Right now Halo is the least relevant it's ever been.

No, I'm saying you're moving the goal post because it went from direct popularity(which is determined almost entirely by sales) to "but but ... x franchise made more money! and ha! Sony didn't!" 

Considering Halo is a much more multiplayer centric series than Uncharted, and considering it heavily uses a microtransaction system(which Uncharted also uses ... but Uncharted isn't played for it's multiplayer as much as Halo) so it makes sense they'd make a lot of money off the game, more so than Uncharted. Does that lead to more popularity? Honestly ... not at all, in fact it barely correlates.

This whole "but but Halo is more popular than Sony franchises" thing was a good point back in the 360 era. Now? I don't think so. Halo 5 most likely sold between 5.5-6.5 mil so far. That's not impressive at all for a Halo game. Considering the digital attach rate for Horizon is insane, it will probably catch up with Halo 5 by the end of this year. And that's a new IP. Uncharted 4 undoubtedly outsold it. The Uncharted collection outsold Halo MCC, so did The Last of Us Remastered. Is Halo 5 still more popular than most sony franchises? Yeah. Is that impressive? No. If we were just to compare big PS4 exclusives to big Xbox One exclusives, the PS4 ones would sell better. When I see the Playstation market I see a consistent rise in popularity. Gorilla Games wasn't getting a huge increase in install base for their games, so they moved to an entirely new franchise. A new franchise that will probably sell 6 mil by the end of the year. Uncharted 4 outsold Halo 5 by a wide margin. It's honestly hard to compare the two when most of Sony's big games are still not out yet ... both Sony and Microsoft pretty much have two or three big triple A exclusives out.

If nintnedo launches Pokémon next year it's over for Microsoft. I won't even bring Sony into this. It's already over between those two.

Well what PS exclusive is bigger than the Halo franchise?

Halo is on a huge decline, you can only base it on what's bigger now. And as it stands Uncharted, is bigger at the moment.
