The first game had good reviews and came with the Halo 3 beta and still only pulled off 1.7 million copies. My point is the series is not worth building upon, it's dead as a door nail, so why not make something new?

Because if 3 sells 1.7m it's certainly not dead as a doornail, that's why. It's a lot to just expect a new Ip to do 2m+

If 3 sold 1.7 million copies it would be from it's own merit, not the series name.
