No one has mentioned Halo 2? By far, one of the biggest system sellers in the past 10 years. The Xbox, in the US was languishing in sales in the US pretty bad. Then came Halo 2. H2 souly increased sales of the Xbox from an average holiday of 500-550k, to more than 800k, while bringing the PS2 sales to its knees. The Playstation 2's sales were SEVERELY decreased YOY vs. the previoius year(s), and November was the only month that a system had dethroned the Playstation brand during a holiday season in nearly 10 years. That, my friends, is a system seller. As for Playstation, GTA, FF and DQ are all major system sellers. Blue Dragon on the 360 is/was a system seller of recent memory for the 360. Gundam Mousou was as well, but to a much lesser extent in terms of %.

Stick, this isn't about which games are the best system sellers, it's about which games are overrated/underrated as system sellers. Halo can sell systems... and everyone knows it can sell systems: thus, it's not underrated (or overrated). I think people's perception of the power of Halo is just about spot on what reality indicates to us.

 no Halo holds it's own but its still overrated. It's named the best FPS franchise of all time by most xbox fans.

Halo's strengths are as followed:

1. It has a strong and compelling storyline.

2. Its controls are spot on.

3. Its the first game to make vehicles truly useful in an FPS.

4. Good replay value

5. Great Multi-Player

6. first launch title that was truly good. 

 

Halo's Weaknesses:

1. Story isnt original.

2. controls are great but there is still better

3.  to few vehicles

4. Not the best FPS ever made; that title belongs to GoldenEye 007, Unreal, and Half-Life.

5. Slower pace then most FPSs when on large scale maps; please see Unreal.  

 

 

 

 

Anyways look at my list.... if you noticed there all Xbox titles.
