1.  Yeah it is very possible it wont sell 10+.  However Halo 4 was tracking above Halo Reach up until Xbox One released hurting its legs.  Even then its very likely Halo 4 has outsold Reach if you include digital, and who knows how that compares with Halo 3 numbers if you count digital as well condsidering digital was much more popular once halo 4 was out compared to halo 3

2.  Weird you talk about Halo not being a 10m franchise but then go on to name Gran Turismo and Mario.  Have you looked at the recent installments? Gran Turismo 6 is at 2.41m,  New Super Mario Bros U is at 4.16m, and Super Mario 3D World is at 2.21m.  So using your logic, then these games arent 10m franchises either.  Though to be fair Mario will continue to sell as WiiU continues to sell.  Reaching 10m may or may not happen

3.  XBO is down in america and Europe, no doubt.  Then again Halo pushes consoles, thats a fact.  7m is very possible, but i want you to remember Halo 2 sold 7m on 25m consoles.  It really depends on how well XBO sales to whether it will be near Halo 4 or Halo 2 numbers

1. Halo 4 was released as the xbox 360's last hurrah, to an installbase that's going to be the largest an install base is going to be for a halo game. It was massively frontloaded, and even then it was only barely outpacing Reach, untill its legs died halfway through 2013.

2. Both have more 10 million selling mainline games than not. GT6 was a cash grab to fund GT7 on the next gen and should have never been released. Of course the latest home marios aren't going to break 10 million when the install base isn't even at 10 million. Try looking at the 3ds that has MK7 and 3d land that are 6 months top from breaking 10 million....

3. Yet, the best Halo could do on an install base 3 and a half times larger is sell only 1.4 times as well, shows that the franchise hasn't really grown from 8 million of Halo 2. XBO sales are dreadful and only going to get (relatively) worse, which means that according to (almost) everybody on this site, not do that well really as people think this gen will shrink.
