This was your point. My point is the opposite.

Btw I love Halo. You are the one saying Halo>UC because of everything but the game.

And I agreed with your point if we are talking about the developer on that,but your argument was "halo sucks". And I am not really a Halo fan, its just a better franchise to build around. There aren't many franchises that can last for 15+ years and still be massive in more ways then one. I have never played an Uncharted game so I cant say if UC>Halo or vice versa in terms of quality,id assume it is but I cant for a fact say that. But this argument was about what is better for sales and money not what game is better. Id say Uncharted is better for sales,mostly because there are double the playstations out there as there are xbox's, and halo is a better money maker

Id disagree there too. I would say a higher selling game is a better avenue of revenue that all the supplements.

A video game is a better avenue of revenue yes since it would probably make the most money per unit sold. I know some of those action figures and shit can get expensive but Hasbro or whoever makes them would get the majority of the money. Microsoft would only get a licensing fee of x % compared to getting the full revenue off of a game. Keep in mind the game would also be the most expensive to develop. But with all things told,yes you would be correct in that the game would bring in the most revenue compared to any other form of revenue the franchise would see. But still. If I sell 500 million worth of video games and another 500 million off of everything else,that would still be better then your selling of 750 million in games for example. 1 billion >750 million. That's not to say Microsoft wouldn't want Uncharted sales numbers for the game,of course they would. But the difference in sales is basically because of there being double the playstations in the world. That is Microsoft's fault for falling so far behind but if there was 40 million xbox's and 40 million playstations halo and uncharted would sell just about the same amount of copies. I might even argue Halo would sell slightly more just because its a shooter and shooter's generally appeal to a wider market.

Still,Uncharted is a huge IP for Sony,its one of the.....probably 10 biggest gaming franchises in the world and that needs to be applauded and I hope it goes on to sell 10 million+

uncharted has merch for sale as well, controllers consoles watches headsets

who heres besides me never reads these stupid paragraph bs threads anymore?

The Dev would prefer more sales.

The publisher would prefer more brand awareness if that equated to greater overall revenue via licensing and merchandising.


If we don't know which is greater they don't care either way, imo. They wouldn't waste money merchandising if it didn't make them anything. But the publisher is more concerned with overall valuation than discs sold.

Incorrect,i said Halo> UC for revenue as a franchise not these specific games. UC4 of course slaughtered Halo 5 in terms of sales as will many other playstation games since there just aren't many Xbox's out there
