More POPULAR? Not in any stretch of the imagination. Higher SELLING? Yeah.

Halo is more popular because it isn't just a game series anymore. I've seen novels, toys, machinimas, parodies, cartoons, comics, t-shirts, drinks, dolls, sculptures, and for even the THOUGHT of Halo having a movie rose a huge turnout of people hoping for it not to mention the ungodly and extremely active fanbase, including the tons of people who even just sat outside of Gamestop on launch day.

As far as popularity goes, Halo eats just about every other possible video game franchise. As far as sales goes, GT sells, or is bundled with(I wasn't tracking last gen) more then Halo.

But doesn't this have something to do with the fact that we live in America?

Then show me the European Gran Turismo soda, books, comics and movies.

 

That line of reasoning is a bit specious, don't you think? To this day, I've never seen GTA sodas, comics, etc. Does this say anything about GTA's popularity? No. The sales really ought to speak for themselves.
