"But if you look at platform exclusives, nothing is bigger than Halo.”

Nintendo says hi


Nailed it. I don't understand why they would even make that statement. If it was nothing is bigger than halo on the 360, then yeah totally.

Obviously MS meant towards Sony/PS3 since it is the 360s only direct competitor.

Well, I read platform exclusive and the Wii is a platform and it has exclusives which have sold much more than halo. Also, Gran turismo (I know, apples to oranges) is a bigger franchise than Halo, as far as I'm concerned but that's another topic for another time.

I'm sorry, but I just had to point this out. Grand Turismo franchise is not bigger than Halo, or not anymore. Three reasons why GT series has sold more overall than Halo: 1. It's been around longer. 2. GT was bundled like crazy during the ps2 era. 3. The Ps2 install base was 100 million + while Xbox had 20 mil +. Image if Halo was on the Ps2 platform instead of xbox and what type of crazy sales it could have managed? Compare Halo and GT franchise this gen it's not even close, especially with PS3 and 360 having almost same installbase it's a much more fair comparison.   

To sum it up, if there was a popularity contest to between Halo and GT. I sure as hell would put my money on Halo.
