ODST is from Bungie as well, and compared to Halo 3, there is an even bigger gap than from 4 to 3.

I'm talking mainline titles (1,2,3,4). Side stories never sell that well lol

Unfortunately, that isn't valid considering Reach outsold Halo 2.

Halo 2's install base at released was what...18 million consoles in homes? lol The only way to compare sales is to figure out the attach rates. I don't know for sure, but I'd wager Halo 2's attach rate blows Reach's out of the water.

That's a silly theory. By that logic, GT5 sold 5 million units when it launched on the PS3 which had sold 50 million units at the time. GT6 only sold 1.8 million units launching on a console that has sold more than 80 million units. Are you gonna claim Gran Turismo is a franchise with extremely serious decline since it sold so much less than its predeccesor even though the install base of the PS3 is more than 1.5x larger now? Are you gonna compare attach rates as well? 

Also don't compare Halo 3's sales to Halo 4. Halo 3 has been on sale for 6 years, and has been sold with lots of bundles. If we compare Halo 3 and 4's sales for the same time frame, then Halo 4 sold more.
