When it comes to platform exclusive franchises, it is at number 3 I would say.

1. Mario (Mario Kart, Mario Party, Mario Tennis etc.  = Mario!)
2. Pokemon
3. Halo

Wii XXX is not a franchise, just like Kinect XXX is not IMO.

Since this was aimed towards PS3, I would agree.

Wii Sports is a franchise... Wii Fit is a franchise... Brain Age is a franchise. All 3 are also above Halo. Who knows Nintendogs might end up being above Halo if the 3DS game has legs for the 3DS' life. Animal Crossing is also arguably bigger.

I also don't see where he singles out the PS3? The only things "singled out" are GTA and CoD, with both available on Nintendo platforms in one way or another.
