Halo has had stronger prequels than many other IPs. This is a fact!

I mean ODST, Reach, and Wars! All awesome.

ODST isn't a prequel and Halo: Wars was nothing special, sales-wise, for a Halo game (though it was for an RTS). Outside of that, Reach is the best example, but still didn't launch at the end of the gen, has a MUCH bigger following than either Gears or GoW, and saw more marketing than the both of them combined.

That's an apples-to-oranges comparison.

ODST took place during Halo 2's campaign but was released after Halo 3. Halo Wars was a great RTS, respectable sales for the genre. Reach is the best example, but the others are still valid.

I'm just saying... Halo knows how to handle a prequel.

It's still an apples-to-oranges comparison, but oh well. 


Not really.  Halo has been successful regardless of prequel, without main character, genre, etc  Where as not every game can do that which includes GoW and Gears.    ALthough both will sell great in the end it just shows you how successful Halo really is.  And even if Gears and GoW would have got a lot of ads they still would not have been as good critically.
