Halo's awful. The handful of people I knew who were Halo fans almost entirely deserted it for COD4. The brand still has power, but as people play other games and realize it isn't so great, it diminishes.

 

There are still an ass load of people still playing Halo 3 a year and a half after it released. Hell, there are still quite a few people playing Halo 2 online. What makes you think it is diminishing? ODST will probably be the second best selling game this year on hd consoles. Just because you do not like it, does not mean others don't like it either.

 

It sold well because it was hyped to no end (There was Halo MOUNTAIN DEW, c'mon...)

 

Once that wore off, the game didn't really have legs.  ODST will probably sell well... but I think Halo's brandpower diminishes as people are exposed to other (read: better) games.

Give me some statistics dude.

Go to Bungie.net and you will see this:

• Unique Players (Last 24 Hours):
  777,390

That doesn't show a game in it's declining years. 12% of the people who bought the game, played it within the last day, a year and a half after it was released.  After the release of all of these so called better games.

Also, it has sold about 1,000,000 copies within the past 18 weeks.  That is pretty darn good.
