MS is going to do just fine with their current direction; plus let's face it, the "hardcore" are only around for so long and have a tendency to shrink over years.

Agreed. As much as I love the Halo series, my bet is after Reach the series will enter terminal decline. I dont think Gears of War has much longer to go either, but that depends on how Epic follow up Gears 3

Not even close the Halo Universe has tons to offer... we can move over and do stuff with the Elites perhaps even go back in their past and learn their history

Every universe got loads to offer. That doesn't mean a series will keep on selling as well as it does now, nor does it mean that the remaining part of the universe is any exciting to consumers. Maybe to you it is, but you're only you.
