I had both Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2. And, I'm not speaking as a PS3 fan here. I am looking at Halo from the perspective of someone whom has a long history of observing and even degrees in media studies and Halo is losing its thunder.

Can you elaborate on your finding on the decline of the Halo brand?

Lets have a look at the fact:

Last Halo FPS is the highest selling ever in the franchise

Halo branded RTS becomes the highest selling RTS in console history

It continues to sell more copy per week than both Gears 2 and Killzone 2; two games you claim are 'superior' to Halo 3

Microsoft has just announced Reach without ODST even being released, its easily expected to be the top selling exclusive for the 360 this holiday with the only game that has a chance against it being Modern Warfare 2 and Forza 3, proving that they still believe the franchise is marketable at a lucrative level; it is merely an expansion!! ODST is like GT5P; not a complete game!

Halo ALWAYS rank as one of the top 5 games played for Live on a weekly basis

Where is the logic?

I don't think you understand. When a game sells 5 million, it's doing great, when it's sequel sells 8m, it's doing ok. When the 3rd sells 10m, that's it, it's clearly out of steam.
