Yeah, they would have no problem selling new IP.
So make that sci-fi game, Naughty Dog!
Numbered Uncharted even at its peak sold less than a non-numbered mainline HALO.
Worth Pondering

Hopefully their new IP does well enough that they will be too busy to take Uncharted on again for a while.

I tell you h'wat, these figures bode enormously well for that Crash Bandicoot game Naughty Dog have got in the pipeline. Brace yourself Crash, mega-stardom beckons once again.
It was $69 at Target and Big W though!

Not really. Just shows that Halo was a fucking beast in its prime, but we already knew that.
This is a positive topic. Don't upset me.

Yep and that's for both 360 and XBO. Forget if it was 38k or 35k for XBO.

Only in the US and UK. Uncharted outsells Halo pretty much everywhere else. U4 is going to run rings around H5, probably could challange the best selling Halo (3?) game ww sales.
Crash made by Insomniac priced at 39,99 $ / 25,99 £ = Boom.
That's one way to ensure Uncharted will stop selling.

An Uncharted game with Platinum's writing and storytelling? Nah fam, I'm good with the series ending now if that's the alternative.

Is it? I mean to begin with Halo 5 is a numbered mainline Halo that sold less than Uncharted 4. So why doesn't that count? And it is the most recent one so it is fair to say that currently Uncharted is bigger than Halo. Not to mention that UK and US are where Xbox has always been the strongest, so worldwide the sales were much closer. And again, for the most recent releases, Halo 5 and Uncharted 4, worldwide UC4 will outsell H5 by a huge margin.
QB outsold H5 in the US? I thought the game bombed.

And I'm glad you like the game so much

This bodes well for NA launch sales.
There's potential tho; crazy set pieces, coupled with stylish over-the-top gunplay (PG-style), and now you've suddenly got a recipe for something truly special.

This is hilarious because someone last year told me that Uncharted 4 was delayed because Sony was afraid of Tomb raider.
not sure about that buddy.
Platinum would be more suited to revive White Knight Chronicles.

No. I wish people would stop saying that. Platinum does not need to develop every game, nor i want them too. Not everyone thinks that Platinum is a good developer.
No, man, I meant Ratchet and Clank outsold Quantum Break in the US. I expect the same thing to happen with Uncharted 4 and Halo 5. I assume you know which should come out on top.QB outsold H5 in the US? I thought the game bombed.

And yeah, I'm glad the game delivered. My most anticipated game of all time, I think. I couldn't stop talking about it to everyone around me close to release.
Eh? Someone said that Halo 5 sold 160K earlier. Which is right?

Oh, yea it's pretty obvious.

Well, it seems like you enjoyed the game as well? How would you rank it?Oh, yea it's pretty obvious.

There's nothing to get upset about, just let the marsupial's magic wash over you like a healing ocean spray.
Ok so my bad
If that's the case, Uncharted 4 outsold Halo 5 and RotTR combined. Wow...
Take that, Greenberg!

Only 2 game combine? Weak.
How bout take away H5 and add QB, Ryse, SO?
Now that you mention it, perhaps Uncharted 4 did outsell all those four games combined. QB did 28K, no idea about Ryse and SO, but they certainly didn't do too well.

If Uncharted 4 doesn't outsell the Xbox One (at least 20 million sales by end of year) then it was a complete failure

Let's not get crazy. Uncharted is amazing, but Halo 3 was a juggernaut for which the hype surrounding its launch can never be replicated.
I didn't beat it yet, taking my sweet time (and not playing as much as I want
), it's been wonderful up until this point.It's the best in the series today obviously, just becuase gameplay is so improved, but I need to finish it first to see if its impact is bigger than U2 in 2009 for me.
Lol good spin there, let's forget for a minute 360 install base was larger and halo is an fps that automatically sells more than other genres. You should post you're cv to ms they need the help spinning numbers of late.
Between 84.000 and 116.000

It's not a good fit at all. Platinum are crap at level design, pacing and writing, all of which are absolutely key to the Uncharted experience.
Uncharted should not be a crazy wild combat action game, and people need to scrap this meme that Platinum should be developing everything.
Pondering it I've come to the conclusion Halo was bigger at peak but is dipping alarmingly while Uncharted is either at peak or still growing.
My conclusion is MS has allowed core franchises to fragment with no replacements in site whereas Sony introducing new IP last gen plus releasing existing IP has proven to be the better strategy leading into this gen and is now really paying off.
Maybe I'm reading too much into it.
Damn, so this one is quite the step up sales wise. Interested to see how it sells elsewhere.
One of the best games I've played in years. Absolute masters of their craft.
The fact that Naughty Dog actually gets to decide to move on to a brand new IP instead of being pressured to keep churning out sequels is fucking beautiful. Other publishers should take note because this is how you keep a developer on the absolute top of their game.
Can't wait for that Savage Starlight game.
