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?

The last Halo sold so many copies because it was only one of two reasons that people bought the system. However, since that time many better games have come to the 360 including the likes of further games in the Gears series, Fallout 3, Bioshock, and Modern Warfare. Superior games reduce the importance of games in an older series that aren't considered to be as good.

Except Halo 3 still outsells all of those games on a weekly basis, and it is still the most played game on Live.
