Who's the most iconic video game character of all time?

LOL. And look at all the sales of the 3 non MC Halo games in comparison. Proof the character as a meaning outside the games hes in.

Halo 4 will further confirm this with my prediction of the highest Halo game sales.

Interestingly GTA sold more with a change of character. Meaning the character meant nothing.

Halo Reach is tracking below Halo 3 by ~1mill.  9m vs about 10m

There's a 10% difference between Halo 3 and Reach.

So you're telling me that a 10% drop in sales is enough to prove that a character is an icon?  

There are TONS of factors that could have caused a 10% dip. It's so minscule that anything could have caused. But you know what, let's assume that MC did cause the 10% drop in sales. Let's just ignore every other potential factor and assume that MC was the sole cause. Okay, I'll agree that MC is an icon. However (by looking at the numbers), Master Chief is only an icon to 10% of Halo fans. The other 90% just don't care - The "character meant nothing" as you said.

Apparently, your definition of an icon means Master Chief is only iconic for 10% of Halo fans. Good to know
