So? It's an FPS...It's not even the best selling FPS on the 360 to come out this year...

You really want to see something impressive? Look at every racing game other than the GT series that's ever come out. GT5 sold nearly 10 million copies (PD has it at about 9.7 right now) in a genre that doesn't sell.

When the sales of the Halo series make up more than half of the lifetime sales for the entire genre let me know.

Oh I must've forgot how well Forza has sold this generation.  Only around 15m copies.  Man that is horrible. 

14.2 actually. Which as you may know is less than the 15.68 GT has sold this gen. Odd considering that Forza had 4 games this gen next to GTs 3.

Now don't get me wrong, I really like the Forza games. But the impact that Halo has on the FPS genre isn't anything like the impact GT has on racing games. It's kind of an Apples & Oranges comparo don't you think?

Didn't even see this comment.  Just pointing out that other racers do in fact sell well.  Not saying it is more successful.  Need for Speed has dropped off a bit bt their is plenty of racers that do have success still is my point.
