And again, you're using the same argument. Regardless of the number '3' being in the title, it's still a prequel, not even to the MGS games, but to the NES games. Like I said, compare a spin-off to a spin-off.  

MGS3 is not a spin-off. I don't know why you keep touting that. It's a prequel. So what? It is called Metal Gear Solid 3, features the same character, same style of gameplay, and same direction.

By your reasoning, Star Wars 1-3 are spin-offs. Someone should alert George so he can finish the "real" series. 

Maybe 'spin-off' isn't the best description, but it shouldn't be compared to Halo 3 which is a direct sequel. And no, it doesn't feature the same character, Big Boss is a different character to Solid Snake. If there was a choice, then I wouldn't compare it to the sales of Halo Wars, but it's the most appropriate.
