Could you replace him with any character and the games still sell?

Answer is yes. Look at GTA 4. Different character noone cared.

Could you replace MArio? No cchance.

Could you replace Kratos? No chance

Could you replace Masterchief? No chance. Look at ODST sales or Reach compared to Halo 3. In fact watch Halo 4 eclipse alll others for Masterchiefs return.

Could you replace Nathan Drake will William bottomfeeder? Easily.

 

So now the definition has changed to being irreplaceable to the franchise? Okay

Using your logic

Halo Reach is selling enourmously well without Master Chief.

Therefore, Master Chief isn't an icon.
