Define "broke", because that is a complete opinion and not a fact at all. Every major Halo installment after Halo 2 had to deal with a massive number of nostalgic fans. Halo 3 released 2007, that game had two full years until the first BIG competition (MW2) appeared. Until MW3 (2011) COD sales have increased, in the same year Battlefield 3 arrived on consoles. On top of that, MANY other games became very popular (i.e. Assassin's Creed, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Borderlands, GTA, Gears of War). Halo 4 released in a way more difficult time than it's predecessors. |
I don't like this argument. It's Halo. Who cares about the competition. CoD kept growing year after year even with more competition. Halo should be able to do what CoD did. It used to be the biggest shooter on the 360 it isn't a small game that can't compete with CoD.
Edit: Also look at GTA 5 it crushed all the records even with all the competition and all the GTA style games out there.
